Elvis Presley was the king...and he changed American music forever. We celebrate thrilling performances of his greatest hits, including Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender, Don’t Be Cruel, Hound Dog and more. These are not Elvis impersonators - these are four Broadway and cabaret singers in a “Jersey Boys”-style show that brings a new twist, shake, rattle and roll to the classic hits of The KING!

Showcasing a collection of timeless standards, including signature songs by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, and Sarah Vaughn, Maestro Michael Berkowitz and the Santa Rosa Symphony will be joined by jazz vocalist Dee Daniels, acclaimed for her wit, warmth, charm, and dazzling four-octave range. Audiences will be delighted by an afternoon of music paying tribute to the Great Ladies of Song, including A Tisket, A Tasket, God Bless the Child, Fever, Mack the Knife, and Bill Bailey.
