DESCRIPTION:
ELVIS By Dano is one of the Pacific Northwest's most fun, entertaining, high energy, and interactive tribute artists! He just performed an exciting tribute to Elvis on The King's birthday , January 8th, 2008 at The Quinault Beach Resort and Casino in Ocean Shores, Wa. Now, for all of you country western music fans, Dano also performs a lively, and moving tribute set to the great Johnny Cash. He missed first place last year by a mere 3 points at the Red Wind Casino's Elvis contest in Olympia, Wa., and recently took part in the sixth annual Elvis Festival at Penticton, BC. Dano's nice voice and natural Elvis moves, along with the way he often sings face to face with the members of his audience, help to provide a show that reflects the energy, passion, and humor that The King once shared with us. Dano, being a true Elvis Presley fan himself since the age of ten, has loved singing along with The Great One most of his life. His first true impersonation of Elvis was back in 1995 at a church function, and in 2000 sang his first full set of tunes to a very excited audience at the same hall. He was also once a singer and guitarist for a kickin' classic rock band and often performed tribute sets to Elvis. The crowd always lit up when Dano took the stage during those shows. After a seven year stay, he left the band in early 2004 and went solo to become one of the "most rockin" Elvis impersonators / tribute artists around the Seattle Tacoma area and beyond. Recently, upon the urging of friends and fans , Dano has begun to sing some of the songs made famous by another of his childhood favorites, Johnny Cash. People told him his vocal tone was perfect for this country music legend as well. He can pay tribute to the King of the 1950s in the flashy gold lam'e jacket, the GI Blues Army Elvis, the sixties star in a replica of the 1968 tv comeback special all leather outfit, or the refined white jumpsuit icon of the 1970s. For Johnny Cash he performs in all black (of-course) along with his old flat top country guitar. If you want your next event "All Shook Up," or just want to "Walk The Line" a little, then ELVIS By Dano (& a touch of Johnny Cash) is the one !!!

    Dano was absolutely amazing. He entertained all of our guests and was very, very talented. We enjoyed having him in our home and will certainly think of him for future events. Thank you for the referral. Sadie Whitley

    Elvis by Dano was hired for my client's 53rd birthday party and he was a huge success. The entire room was singing, dancing and clapping along with the music. After his performance Elvis by Dano stayed around for pictures and conversations. It was great! He was very dependable and kept in contact the week prior to our party. I would consider hiring Elvis by Dano for future events.

    I hired Elvis by Dano for a surprise 50th bday party for my little sister. Not only was the party on Thanksgiving weekend, it hit during 'flu' season which caused a large number of last minute cancellations. I was extremely concerned about the group of people who did show up,they just seemed 'blah'. The minute 'Elvis' started, the party totally 'rocked' & was a complete success. My father told me later after the party "I didn't think your 'Elvis' would pull it off, boy was I surprised. He not only is a good 'Elvis', he is a great showman and worked the crowd perfectly". Believe me, coming from MY dad, that is quite the compliment! DANO WAS A PERFECT CHOICE !

    What an Outstanding performer. We hired Elvis (Dano) for my husband's 70 birthday party. Family, staff at Sully's Cafe and friends are still talking about the fantastic party. Energetic, entertaining and the love of Elvis filled the room. We had a group ranging in age of 7 years - 70. Dano took the time to make sure that each person was involved in the performance. He had us dancing, clapping and singing. He sang special songs to the girls. He really did an outstanding job. Our granddaughters are still talking about the night Elvis had dinner with the family. From the booking, contacting and arranging the "big day", he was professional and accommodating. He was an 'AWESOME' performer. It is difficult to hire a performer, but we really got our money when he hired Dano. If you want an Elvis impersonator, hire DANO, you will not regret your choice. We would definitely have him back to perform for us. Thanks Dano for that special performance.

    What a party! We hired Elvis (aka Dano) for our annual Halloween party at Sunrise Assisted Living of Bellevue. He was AMAZING! From the intial booking to the actual performance, he was top notch all the way. He arrived early, took percautions for the seniors, set up, performed and cleaned up in a timely process. He had all the seniors up dancing and singing and really engaged each person. He was a bit loud for some of the older folks but his sound is great and everyone had a great time!! I feel bad because I get all the credit for the great party but it was because of Dano that the day was so perfect! Highly recommended!

    Dano was absolutely wonderful!! This was a 40th surprise birthday party for our daughter and Boy was she surprised. She has always loved "Elvis" and boy oh boy...she got him!!! Everyone was singing and tapping their toes. The young girls really got into the act and was screaming and dancing....they now want "Elvis" for their parties!!! Dano made everyone feel like they were part of his act..he included everyone!!! We can't say enough about him. The party got started a little late and he was gracious enough to adjust his time to ours. We would have him again in a heart beat!!!

    Wow! You're never really sure what's going to happen when you hire an entertainer sight unseen, but Dano surpassed all of our expectations. He showed up early, knew his stuff, played right into the audience, and sounded wonderful. Our wedding was a small 40 person outdoor affair and Dano really made the evening memorable. Triple talent for the money. Thanks, Dano!

    He was AMAZING! Very accomidating, was energetic and exciting, and really got a younger crowd (College-age) to appreciate an icon that is rarely acknolaged by their generation. He had couples dancing at the front of the stage, and was a perfect complement to our Vegas-themed event. Also a very genuine, all-around nice guy, donated his time, energy and gas to the event! Would HIGHLY recomend him to others!!

    Five days later and staff is still talking about what a great time they had. I haven't laughed so hard in ages at how much fun everyone was having - it was the best event! Dano was very helpful, proferssional, and delivered a lively performance. He's number 1 in my book.
    --Paul Y.

    Dano was terrific! He was very accomodating, professional, personable, and lots of fun. He IS Elvis! Everyone said it was the best party they had ever attended.
    --Joan R.

    My wife's birthday party was the best ever! Dano was awesome and very personable. She's still thanking me for inviting him and what a talented and friendly guy he is. Since this was a surprize party for her, we needed to do lots of behind the scenes planning with Dano. He worked with us on every phase. My son Ben, who is senior music student at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, did all the sound setup ahead of time. Dano went right with it and did all the final sound checks without any of the professional pettiness that can often grow out of such a situation. Dano even stayed around after his gig and mixed with the crowd ! What a trouper. I'd hire him again. He is Elvis.

    Elvis by Dano's performance was enjoyed by our entire party. He was gracious & entertaining. He really personalized the performance for the guest of honor. Everyone commented to me how much they enjoyed him. Since I organized this event, I spoke to him almost every day for a week as the event "evolved". He is very flexible with his routine and easy to work with, prompt & professional.He made sure to "work" the room. You could see the delight in each person's face as he sang to them. I gave 2 recommendations for future events!!

    Dano helped us make our mom's surprise 75th birthday party a great success. He was on time, accomodating, and professional. There was a lot of dancing going on - we even had a hard time keeping Mom OFF the dance floor! I would definitely recommend him.

    Dano was very accomidating to my requests of how to set up and he did a great job of doing it in a way that it remained a surprise until he was announced to perform. He made the day very special for my Mom's surprise birthday party, and encouraged the guests to interact with him. He was a pleasure to do business with and we all enjoyed his show.

    Dan was extremely accomodating for our charity event. He performed for our charity event at a price we could not match any where else - and the fact that he had to take two days travel time - spoke volumes for his character. He was great fun and the crowd really enjoyed him. He joined in our fun and a good time was had by all.
    --Dorthy T.

    Dan was so willing to help us at the Retirement party before, during and after. He came during the meal and got to know the people and the family and worked with the sons to make a special tribute to their dad and all those who have served in the military when he did the American Trilogy. It was a tear jerker. Dan gave his all to the crowd. I wished he could have sang all night. He stayed for pics and was part of the celebration. He tried hard to make it a special night for all. Thank you Dan!

    He accomadated all of our request's, was on time, and really wanted the gig. He stayed in contact with us right up until the day of the event and asked all of the questions we needed to ask. I would reccomend Elvis by Dano to anyone who asked.
