Description

The best looking jumpsuit Elvis performing at the Elvis Experience - 2007! Vocally and physically - Rich captures the essence of the Elvis YOU want to remember. Professional, prompt, audience-interactive and most of all - FUN! See and hear the sound and video clips. Fun for the family (but a ladies' night favorite!) Hiring an Elvis tribute artist for your special event can be scary - What are you REALLY getting? Pictures, soundbites and even satisfied customer comments on the internet can be deceptive. YOUR EVENT IS SPECIAL! Audition this ETA at a FREE promo-show scheduled at the Tucson Five and Diner TELEPHONE THE 5 & DINER: 520.690.1957 ask about the Elvis show.

NEW! SEE THE 45 SECOND VIDEO CLIP!

Specializing in an energetic and charismatic tribute to Elvis, Rich Butler performs throughout the Southwest. From Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Fortune 500 companies, local businesses and casinos regularly utilize his talents. Rich graciously contributes his time and talents to perform for numerous charitable organizations. Rich also dramatizes the passion and energy of both Tom Jones and Engelbert! Imagine your special event featuring all three superstars! In 2002, Rich had the honor of performing at the Elvis Extravaganza in Laughlin with the legendary Jordanaires. In 2003, he celebrated Elvis' birthday by performing on the television show Good Morning Tucson on ABC. Bonnie Henry of the Arizona Daily Star writes, Watch what happens when you stick Rich Butler in a jumpsuit and hand him a microphone Butler does a right credible Elvis with all the right moves and tunes... He appears in the documentary based on Elvis impersonators entitled Almost Elvis and is listed in the publication, Elvis and You.

Feedback

  • Richard Butler was really really good. He knew that the audience that he was going to be performing for was a very unique group of people and he was amazing to them. He paid alot of attention the the audience and made my group feel really great. Thanks to him, every person that was there left with a smile on thier face. If I could rate him higher than 5 I would! -- Raechell F, Tucson, AZ, 8/16/2007
  • Richard Butler was an outstanding performer and had my audience in the party very involved. He was kind to everyone and had really stepped into the persona of Elvis in all aspects. His "Elvis" outfit was really beautiful and he sang plenty of songs for everyone to enjoy. He also gave some background trivia about Elvis and his life as a performer. This is the third time I have booked Richard Butler for a performance at one of my parties over the past 3 1/2 years. Each time he is punctual and an outstanding performer. I will hire him again in the future and strongly recommend him to the most discriminating "Elvis" fans out there. -- Steven R, Tucson, AZ, 12/31/2006
  • A true professional from start to finish. His interaction with the guests was perfect. What I really appreciated was his artistry. He is NOT A SCREAMER but knows how to use his voice to create wonderful atmospheres song after song. -- Rico S, Tucson, AZ, 11/7/2006
  • From the initial phone contact with him to the time he left our daughter's wedding reception, Richard was an absolute delight to work with. His energy, enthusiasm and engagement with our guests added an extra-special touch of fun to an enchanting event. -- John U, Phoenix, AZ, 4/12/2008
