Description

CHARLIE IS - ELVIS IN CONCERT! THE LOOK! - THE SOUND! - The "ULTIMATE" ELVIS EXPERIENCE! People say "Charlie brings Elvis to Life on Stage!"

YOU REALLY NEED TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE AND SEE THE PHOTOS!! IT IS ALL ABOUT PLEASING THE AUDIENCE! If you are looking for a "World Class" professional performer, Charlie Franks is it! Charlie performs one of the most accurate portrayals of Elvis in concert. His look and sound is one of the closest in the world!

His shows are extremely entertaining, in that Charlie spends a great deal of time out in his audiences. It is his true desire to make every participant an actual part of his show.

His show is a true "concert-like" experience, complete with fantastic stage set, lighting and effects. This provides a fantastic event which will be unforgettable for your participants.

Charlie looks hauntingly like the king himself and is constantly stopped wherever he is to pose for pictures with loyal Elvis fans. He has performed all over the country in everything from large concert venues, fairs and corporate events to TV and Movies, including recently, Good Morning Arizona, Apache Gold Casino, Anthem Veterans Parade. Phoenix Veterans Hospital, Channel 12, Basha's, Doubletree Resort. Westin Hotels, Hondah Resort and Casino, KRIM Radio, Bally's, The Arizona Fair Association, the Mohave, Cochise, Maricopa, Verde Valley and Graham County fairs in AZ, Chase Bank, American Cancer Society, Habitat For Humanity, Trump Organization, Southern California Fair, Riverside Fair, CBS Early Show, Jobing,com Arena, Arizona Cardinals Stadium and the cities of Gilbert, Phoenix, Los Lunas, NM and Lake Elsinore, CA.

His performances can range from up to 120 minutes in length. Charlie does everything possible to make your participants happy, including handing out scarves and he will stay as long as you like to pose for photos mingle,etc. If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to call.

Charlie is also available for personal appearances, for that special event such as a Corporate Meeting, Wedding, Birthday or Anniversary. Charlie can appear and sing a couple of songs using your sound system or a small portable system and then stay and take photos of your participants. This type of event usually does not cost much and can really impact your event. Charlies availability for this type of event is much better during the week or day, as he has a full concert schedule on most weekends. Combined with an infectious sense of humor and warmth, Charlie's shows are a true "experience".
