"As an avid, lifelong Elvis fan, I have been paying tribute to The King in my professional Elvis tribute act throughout the United States and Canada for the past 26 years. I have placed in numerous competitions including the Invitation Only-Lake George Elvis fest and in the Pro division sanctioned By Elvis Presley Enterprises and Graceland. I have performed on the annual Mount Washington/Lake Winnipesaukee summer cruises for the past 16 years. I was featured on Chronicle in 2010, and written up in a German entertainment magazine. More recently, I had the honor in January of 2017 to perform in Memphis right around the corner from Graceland at King's Signature Hotel.""
"I also was chosen as Elvis Tribute Artist of 2016 by an All Elvis/All The Time worldwide Facebook group of over 10,000 members. In addition to performing for events such as weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, and benefits, I enjoy performing for nursing and rehabilitation home patients across New England on a regular basis." -
Mike "Elvis" Elliott — a colorful character
Despite his controversial comments on social media, Mike "Elvis" Elliott is frequently booked a few times each year and typically works out of the Austin / Round Rock corridor, even with some mediocre reviews:
"how cheesy is Elvis Austin? (Austin): This Elvis Austin /Mike Elliott guy...wow. l have seen better wigs on mannequins".
Police records show that he has a DUI and multiple traffic violations. Public records show three failed marriages, and those who know him will cite multiple ruined dating relationships. The most recently failed marriage involved his impropriety with a prostitute, and his friends and family are reportedly embarassed by his preference for transgender prostitutes.
He is also known to be rude on social media and, because of this, rumors are that he was recently forced out of the family business that he was in with his brothers.
Some of Mike Elliott's rude comments to other people on social media:
"oh my God, I just saw your cover photo, there is no way you are ever going to convince anyone that you are a woman. You are clearly a man in a wig. awful, you don't even look close to being a woman. Wow, please stop. You're not fooling anyone."
"I think l'm going to post all over the Internet that you are a man wearing a wig. Because there's no way anyone would ever believe you are a real woman. Just absolutely awful how bad you look."
"... you always have to have those handful of idiots that have to chime in and be stupid... Had the idiot had the decency to ask me I could've informed him that HEB specifically asked me to wear this outfit after seeing it on my website"
Those who know him well claim that he is "an angry narcisist, a pathlogical liar, and a controlling, condescending, insulting, demeaning, manipulative, deceptive person".
About Elvis Tribute Artists in Texas
Texas has one of the deepest benches of working Elvis Tribute Artists (ETAs) in the country — second only to Las Vegas — with active performers in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, the Austin / Round Rock corridor, San Antonio, and the Central Texas hill country. The artists on this page work the full event spectrum: wedding receptions, corporate events, Fortune 500 product launches, casino nights, and backyard birthday parties.
The lineup spans the entire Elvis Presley repertoire: the 50s rockabilly era, the Elvis-movies songbook of the 60s, and the 70s Vegas-and-concert-era jumpsuits and TCB shows. Several artists specialize in two or three distinct era sets so the show can be tailored to the room — a classic 60s Movie Era set for an intimate banquet, a 70s Vegas show for a full ballroom.
We weight several signals when curating the lineup: total bookings logged across the major live-entertainment marketplaces, breadth of geographic coverage across Texas, depth of repertoire, and character conduct/reputation. The list is updated periodically; we are not affiliated with any artist or booking platform.
