James is an Elvis tribute artist, based in Devon in the U.K.

When performing his tribute act, James tries to convey Elvis’s charisma and sense of playfulness on stage, which he combines with his own personality. Before becoming an Elvis Tribute, James was a five-time Sony Award-winning national and regional radio presenter for almost 20 years. This experience of live-presentation has given James the ability to really connect and engage with an audience.

To make his show sound and look its best, James’ act uses the finest quality Elvis backing tracks on the market today, a superb sound system, and costumes by B&K in America who supplied the wardrobe for the Elvis biopic starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks.  James is also a member of the “E.P. Project” based in Canada, a company that replicates Elvis’ concerts from the 1970s note-for-note in backing track form using real instruments. James has flown over to their studio to record backing vocals for their last three albums, which also feature two of Elvis’ on-stage musicians, Walt Johnson and Glen D. Hardin.

Publicly, James has entertained at hotels, holiday parks, festivals, charity dinners, cabaret bars and social clubs in both the U.K. and abroad, including on board a cruise around the Mediterranean. His Elvis tribute also long-term engagements at several venues around the South West.

For private clients, James has performed at every event from weddings to anniversaries, to Captain’s Days at golf clubs and surprise birthday parties.
