DESCRIPTION:
"...LISTEN CLOSELY AND I DEFY ANYONE, AFTER HEARING JENSEN SING,THAT THEY ARE NOT HEARING THE MUSIAL VOICE OF ELVIS." writes Frank Weaver, Jr. of The Suburbanite Newspaper in Akron, OH."Then John Jensen, also known as Elvis, stepped into the spotlight and began to sing. Women in the crowd screamed and some appeared to swoon."

Call today to make your next event a memory to last forever! See for yourself what all the talk is about.... He is the 'exact' height and weight as Elvis when he was in his prime (6'1', 185lbs) this is not an overweight impersonator! Because John is the complete package - sound, looks and moves, every overwhelmed audience member attending his shows has the same thing to say, they have 'NEVER seen another Elvis impersonator as good as John anywhere!' and most of them have seen a lot. John's tribute to the performance and singing style of Elvis Presley is becoming known as the closest thing to the real king! John has the gift to sing in his natural voice and his sound is identical to that of Elvis - People have a hard time believing it is John singing and not a lipsyncing act and to prove it he sings without backing tracks during each show to show the audience his remarkable talent. If you have, or have not, seen Elvis live you will leave John's Hail To The King Show with the experience of having seen Elvis Presley in a way unique to John Jensen. Fans cry, cheer, dance in the isles, throw undergarments, and even try to grab at John as he performs, it's really quite a spectacle, a Rock and Roll experience that will take you back in time and provide a memory that will last a lifetime! John is a true musician and fan of music, and therefore has a deep respect for Elvis, his legacy and his music. He does not try to be Elvis, but instead, he let's the audience experience the energy and emotion that Elvis put into his performances, and that's not an impersonator act, it's a real show with real musical talent. Once you've experienced John's show you will understand his true talent and purpose in life, to entertain people with his singing, personality and charisma. Like all truly talented performers, John is humble and feels connected with people and adores his fans, he like to get up close and sing to them, and connect with their emotions. There are times during the show when John talks about the history of Elvis, his music and it's impact on our world, making his show a musical and historical tribute to Elvis the man, and his music.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
I can't say enough! John is nothing more than a "class act." Being quite nervous about hiring someone by website only and not actually seen him perform, I was very, very, pleased! We hired John for a 50's theme Christmas party. No one knew what the entertainment was to be. The minute he surprised the audience by walking in with a black tuxedo suit with a beautiful gold lamet jacket, the group was thrilled! We had people dancing on their chairs. He entertained with so much style, went with the flow, was very professional, was never obnoctious, as some entertainers can be. I watched the crowd and everyone had a smile on their face remembering when!GREAT!Loved

Excellent. He brought everyone back to 1956, then we were frozen in time. His voice, personality and charm tops the list.

John was fantastic! He gave us an excellent performance. His voice is very much Elvis's voice, he looks a lot like him, he has Elvis's "moves" down well, and gave us very interesting information about Elvis's life between songs. He spent a lot of "extra" time with us after his scheduled performance, discussing his singing career, which we all enjoyed. If I have another need to hire another entertainer for an "Elvis party", John would be THE ONLY one I would consider.

If you're undecided about which Elvis Impersonator to hire- don't be. Hire John Jensen! He's FABULOUS, and does a wonderful job. I hired him for my mother's 1950's Themed 65th Surprise birthday party in Dec. '06 for around 120 people, and I was SO PLEASED! His wife Karen was very accomodating and a pleasure to work with as far as scheduling and setting everything up how we wanted. John was punctual, VERY professional, friendly and looked FANTASTIC! He came dressed and ready to go in a 50's era Elvis style outfit, which looked really cool! His voice was amazing- he sounds so much like Elvis that if you close your eyes, you'd swear "The King" was there in the room with you. His dance moves were EXCELLENT, and he even took the time to get down on one knee and sing personally to several of the older ladies in the room during his performance- they LOVED it! When John sang some of the up tempo songs from Elvis's 50's era, he had everybody on their feet and dancing in the aisles. John does a super job of getting people involved in his show, which I feel is a crucial part of a successful party. Not only that, he stayed and sang a few extra songs for us as everyone was having such a great time at no extra cost. He sang several songs to my mother and worked in personal details about her during his performance, which was a lovely touch. He also added a couple songs that some of us had never heard of that Elvis sang, and we all enjoyed hearing them- he even told the stories behind the songs, which we all found extremely interesting- especially the die-hard Elvis fans who were there! After his performance, EVERYONE in attendance asked me where I found him and wanted to get his contact details for their next party. We had several things planned for her party- a computerized slide show about her life, a live DJ for dancing and karaoke, as well as John's performance, but I must say that John was THE HIT of the party! He stuck around and chatted with everyone who wanted to meet him- which were quite a few people, as all of them were so impressed by him, and he was gracious to everyone and I heard nothing but excellent feedback from ALL of our guests. I would definitely hire him again. My mother couldn't have been more happy with John's "Hail to the King" show. She was in tears after he finished singing, as I think he was so much like the real Elvis that it took her back to her high school days and really brought back some great memories for her. We invited all of her high school girlfriends who she keeps in touch with and they ALL absolutely thought that John's show was amazing and complimented me over and over again on how much fun they had watching him perform. My 88 year old grandmother was there and she loved it too! (She thought he was a complete gentleman, and loved his voice.) His show was great for all ages (my kids were there and they had a blast when John was doing his show, as did all of the other younger people.) You will NOT be disappointed if you choose to hire John for your event. He's professional, punctual, incredibly talented ,and a lot of fun! I would be happy to speak with anyone who is thinking of hiring John if you need more details, or have any questions. I can be reached at (330) 305-1784. Thanks, again, John and Karen! You guys ROCK!

As the organizer of the event, I have heard nothing but good things about this show. John put on a wonderful preformance. He and his wife were very accomodating. They were puctual, personable, and he was wonderful as Elvis. I heard things like, "Where is he from,he was great?", "He was the best Elvis impersonater I ever saw." "This was the best event we have ever had." I have to admit I was a little worried about the whole thing, using the internet and not having heard or seen him before. I was worried for nothing, it was a very smooth transaction. Gigmaster was wonder. What a great idea. Most of us do not know where to go to find the acts we are looking for - you organize it all for us. Thanks,it was great!!!

The whole transaction of hiring an entertainer from another country was smooth and easy. John exceeded our expectations!! John and his lovely wife were very professional and courtious. John wowed our quests and brought Elvis to our back yard! Everybody was riveted to his tremendous voice and perfect Elvis stature. If Elvis was alive he would be proud!! We all had a great time reliving our young days with John's excellent singing. It was especially great that he involved the quests in his perfect reditions of Elvis's best times. We loved him!! We would recommend John to entertain any time, anywhere, he's great.

Being from Ontario, I was concerned about the five hour drive that John would have to make. I was assured that this was not a problem and he showed up at the exact time he said he would. His performance was great. He interspersed his songs with stories about Elvis which was a nice touch. Everyone liked his voice, his look and his choice of songs, as well as his personality. We all would like to see him perform again. I would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone hosting a party or an event.

4-3-06 John performed recently at my sister's 50's birthday party.He put on an outstanding performace to our small crowd; everone was totally entertained. His wife, Karen (manager) showed true professionalism every step of the planning precess. They are a great team. My 73-year old mother mentioned to John that she did not hear her favorite Elvis song. John immediately sang "Love Me Tender" to her a cappella after the show. Very sweet. Our guests were very impressed that I found such talent on line! I highly recommend John for YOUR next party.

We hired John Jensen for an industrial video shoot. We were very impressed by his professionalism. Once the camera started rolling, he became ELVIS and stayed in character till the end of the shoot. Terrific performer. If you need "The King", hire John Jensen.

John did a great job for us. We had a 50th annerversity party. We had already booked a band for the event. John was hired to just show up and be ELVIS. He not only did that he also performed 2 songs with the band. It was a huge success. We could not of been happier. If your group needs an ELVIS, John is your man.
Very professional,accommodating and talented. John Jenson made our event a success.
