Description
Wrenn has the VOICE, MOVES, LOOK and essential Elvis ENERGY!! (listen to the SONGS & watch the VIDEOS on his page!).**Wrenn performed at GRACELAND during ELVIS WEEK 2008! He also WON the Images of the King Regional Elvis Tribute Artist contest and had the honor of performing ELVIS WITH THE RICHMOND SYMPHONY!! **Here is the conductor's feedback on that performance: "I had a blast! Wrenn was fabulous. His energy and attention to historical detail truly contributed to the Symphony's program. The audience was crazy about him, and every time he came on stage, the faces of the orchestra musicians lit up. He was a consummate professional, and joy to work with. How fun to recreate (in a symphonic way) a historic Elvis performance! We're glad Wrenn was part of our 50 Years of Pops celebration."**
Who is Wrenn Mangum? "Passionate" is one word---about music, about entertaining, about Elvis. Captivating crowds in both his solo Rockabilly and Elvis shows throughout the East Coast, Wrenn has been a legend for years.
From humility and humor all the way to romance & Rock & Roll rebellion, Wrenn pays tribute to the world's greatest entertainer with an incredible voice, energy & charisma that reminds us of why Elvis was so cool to begin with.
Wrenn's accomplishments include the honor of performing an Elvis tribute with the Richmond Symphony in October 2007, winning the prestigious "Images of the King Regional Contest" in November 2007, performed at CPAC during the Presidential Banquet in Washington, DC February 2008 and 2009, performing an Elvis Tribute at GRACELAND during Elvis Week 2008, being featured on "Virginia This Morning" August 2009 and the honor of being a featured performer at the "Virginia Rocks!" Rockabilly exhibit in 2010.
**Wrenn also does a mixed 50s/Rockabilly show including artists like Elvis (of course), Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, songs like "Sea Cruise", "The Twist", "In the Still of the Night", etc.**

Feedback
- He was absolutely fabulous and entertaining. it was an awkward set up, the crowd was a little shocked at first but he warmed them up. The feedback from everyone was great! Truly a hit! Thanks Wrenn and Natalie!! -- Angela M, Richmond, OH, 2/2/2012
- Wrenn was AWESOME! We hosted a private party at a convention and hired Wrenn as a surprise act. It was unexpected and the crowd adored him. Loads of pictures flooded FaceBook shortly after, which is exactly what we were hoping for! This guy has the moves! He is personable and the crowd loves him! FIVE STARS all around! -- Eric R, Raleigh, NC, 3/10/2012
- Awesome -- Gordon L, Richmond, VA, 1/21/2012
- We hired Wrenn to perform at our community New Years Eve party and could not be happier with his performance. His manager was great to work with and coverd every detail to make sure everything was perfect. His performance was very professional and the crowd loved him so much he recieved a standing ovation. -- Greg P, Chesterfield, VA, 12/31/2011
- By any measure, Wrenn's performance at my daughter's college graduation party was a huge success! His singing, dress, mannerisms and overall style recreated the excitement and vitality of the 1950's Elvis. He accompanied himself on an acoustic guitar, which added to the authenticity. Wrenn shared a few words of history about each song he sang, showing he is a student of the genre and not merely an impersonator. My daughter, a devoted Elvis fan, was thrilled by Wrenn's appearance, as were all the guests. -- Al M, Raleigh, NC, 5/8/2010
- We hired Wrenn to perform at our mother's 70th birthday. He and Natalie were AWESOME! They are the kindest people we have ever met! Viewing Wrenn's performance online was impressive but NOTHING compared to seeing him in person. He is absolutely fabulous and sounds so much like Elvis it's scary!! Elvis truly was in the house! Wrenn plays the guitar really well and has the moves down perfectly. We all had a night we will never forget! If you are looking for an Elvis impersonator Wrenn is your man. We are really grateful to both Natalie and Wrenn for making the surprise for our mom far exceed our expectations! We would definitely hire him again!
-- Kathy S, Corolla, NC, 6/9/2009
- Wrenn does the best Elvis I have ever seen. He and Natalie arrived on time and were set up in 15 minutes. They graciously "hid out in the closet" while waiting for the guests to arrive. His performance blew everyone away and he stuck to the scheduled time. Wrenn stuck around for photo op's and even helped the Guest of Honor cut the birthday cake. I would highly recommend using Wrenn for any event. He is very talented and knows how to play to the crowd.
Thanks so much, Wrenn and Natalie for making my wifes 60th birthday party a smash hit. You're the talk of the town and everyone who wasn't there is feeling sorry they weren't there. -- John R, Williamsburg, VA, 2/21/2009
- Wren did an amazing job. He gave 120% percent. He is an extremely talented musician and the real deal. He played at our party that had adults but also around 15 children. Most of the children did not even know who Elvis was and they loved it. They really got into the music thanks to Wren's performance and ability to connect with his audience. Wren was great to work and plan with. A real pro. We are going to see him play again soon. -- Art S, Stafford, VA, 5/29/2010
- Wrenn is so talented I thought for a moment he was lip synching to Elvis. He is energetic and adorable and captures those "early Elvis" qualities; sweetness, tenderness, honesty.
My mom and I had the good fortune to see Elvis in concert three times. We consider ourselves (somewhat) Elvis experts. Wrenn blew us away. The surprise entrance and serenade of "Love Me" was a moment we will never forget. Thank you Wrenn and Natalie. You were so easy to work with and so AMAZINGLY talented. I want to have Wrenn sing next at my birthday! -- Laura Q, Richmond, VA, 4/5/2008
- Wrenn's performance as Elvis had the audience mezmerized!! Wrenn was very energetic and engaging with our friends and family. He spent quality one on one time with our brother John and made his birthday so memorable. Wrenn's look and mannerisms were amazing. Wrenn sounded so much like Elvis that it brought tears to your eyes. John will talk about his surprise visit from "Elvis" for years to come! We all were very satisfied!! Wrenn and his manager Natalie were very friendly and we recommend Wrenn to everyone. You will be thoroughly entertained. Kathi Jo Sines, Dunbar, PA -- Kathi S, Dunbar, PA, 7/4/2009
- For all the people out looking for a performer, Wrenn Mangum is your guy. He was the most incredible performer I had ever seen. He was very kind and generous, I can't expressed what he did for my mom. My sisters had thrown a surprise birthday party for her, she was turning 66 and she's an "ELVIS" fan and being a fan myself I knew what I was looking for and if you know anything about elvis there's a certain sound your looking for and believe me he had it! A great, great sound of the early Elvis 50's and 60's era, so if your looking for an "ELVIS" impersonator for that special someone he's the one to call, and Natalie his manager, she was awsome too, we spoke for the first time and I felt we had known each other forever, couldn't have done it without her help. Thanks again Natalie! As far as calling Wrenn back for another event, I would do it in a minute, I'm going out to see him next month for a show he's doing here in virginia, can't wait! I could go on and on, but not enough space! Wrenn, Thanks again,see ya soon Barbara in Virginia -- Barbara W, Woodbridge, VA, 7/7/2007
- We loved it! What a great performance. Wrenn Mangum was a highlight at a surprise 70th birthday party & was everything we could have hoped for. He was totally accommodating, soooooo polite, and an excellent singer & musician. Everyone was impressed with him & enjoyed the show. Afterwards, people were thanking *me*....thanking me for hiring him! Everyone wanted to know where I found this guy. I would recommend him to any & all who are looking for a fun, energetic, & truly dynamic performer!!! A++++++ :) :) :) -- Donna M. G, Richmond, VA, 2/24/2007
- Excellent performance from start to finish. Too talented, genuine, and professional to fully describe within this review. If you want the real sound, look, and performance of Elvis, Wrenn will not let you down. I am very pleased that I chose Wrenn to perform at my father's 60th B-day party.
Thanks,
John Heraldo -- John H, Richmond, VA, 10/14/2006
- Living overseas, I couldn't be there for my mom's 50th. My dad set up a get-together and Wrenn, as young Elvis, made a surprise visit to the house, flowers in hand, let my mom know I had sent him, and sang her happy birthday. Although I couldn't be there, I was able to listen to everything on the phone. My mom was excited and said it was her dream come true. She was still giddy about it a week afterwards and she insists it was the real Elvis who sang to her!!! Since I am halfway around the world, I was able to keep in touch with Natalie (the manager) by phone and email and we managed to pull off this event with little time. It was just what I wanted for my mom! -- Stormie A, Centreville, VA, 4/1/2009
