Description
Nationally acclaimed Elvis Tribute Artist/Impersonator Art Kistler is a professionally trained vocalist, veteran entertainer, accomplished recording artist and charter member of the Professional Elvis Impersonators Association of Las Vegas.
Art earned his credentials on his way to the pro ranks, winning the top spot in numerous talent competitions and since then he's participated in international Elvis Impersonator events including acting as a judge in a number of high profile Elvis impersonator contests.
Art prides himself on attention to details and authenticity: the look, the moves, but most importantly Art's vocals are so similar to those of Elvis Presley that people often think he's lip-synching... HE ISN'T!
Art is based in Minnesota but regularly performs all over the United States and is a regularly contracted cruise ship entertainer. Art's wife, Jean, accompanies him to run the sound, stage lighting. etc. During the show Jean also helps Art hand out scarves, teddy-bears, hound dogs and Hawaiian lei's. This teamwork ensures a seamless and professional show, and Jean's services are included in all quotes unless otherwise specified.
Art is a true Elvis fan and Elvis Tribute Artist/Impersonator with depth: he's done his homework and paid his dues... even more, he's an entertainer in the truest sense of the word, who performs with real heart and soul, consistently impressing audiences as he effectively and impressively conveys his respect for the memory of the King of Rock and Roll in a fun, high energy and audience-interactive show called "Forever Elvis... the Spirit Lives!"

Feedback
- Art and his wife Jean are a great team. Things are always hectic and problems pop up at the last minute. They handled everything perfectly. The music and performance really fitted our 50's theme. Thank you Art & Jean -- Kathi R, Minneapolis, MN, 1/24/2009
- Elvis was very professional and handled the agressive group with class and grace. As a event planner, I have never recieved so many thank you notes from our members thanking me for such a great night out!
One question everyone is asking is it that his real hair? He looks and sounds just like the king! -- Paulette S, Rochester, MN, 5/15/2008
- Art Kistler was extremely accomodating and very friendly to work with. He also does a wonderul Elvis impersonation. I would most certainly request him in the future. -- Marni H, Minneapolis, MN, 3/5/2008
- Having Art perform for us at the kick-off luncheon and our marketplace social was very energizing. He is a good entertainer and very easy to work with. I would certainly recommend him.
