The Kings & The Killer is one of the best tribute shows you'll ever see! Starring Leo Days (2008 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest Finalist), Doug Church ("The Voice of Elvis") and Lance Lipinsky (the essence and energy of the young Jerry Lee), The Kings & The Killer are also backed by a dynamite live band. ABOUT LEO DAYS Leo Days was a Top 10 Finalist in the 2008 Elvis Presley Enterprises Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest and the 1998 Champion of the Collingwood Elvis Festival Contest. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in Michigan, Leo became an avid Elvis fan at the age of three and grew up listening to Elvis, watching his movies, and, as a teenager, started studying anything and everything he could about Elvis--his moves, mannerisms and, of course, his music. Leo is a versatile performer and one of the few Elvis Tribute Artists who performs all three eras of Elvis--from the rock 'n' roll '50s, to the sexy black leather '60s, to the Vegas and concert years of the '70s. For the past 12 years, Leo has been thrilling audiences in casinos, theaters, festivals, on cruises, and at corporate events and often tours overseas to such countries as Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and France where he performed for an entire month in Paris. When he's not touring the world, Leo resides in Las Vegas where he is one of today's most sought out Elvis Tribute Artists. ABOUT DOUG CHURCH Doug Church ("The Voice of Elvis") began his Elvis career in the U.S. Air Force in 1983 while competing against hundreds of other contestants and winning annual talent contests. He defeated the best entertainers from many bases in the European and U.S. Air Force commands, and in four years, he collected 11 first place trophies for his well-developed likeness to Elvis. After leaving the Air Force in 1987, Doug continued his act around the Midwest, and in 1990, he competed for the first time in the fourth annual Worldwide Elvis Impersonator Contest in Memphis, Tennessee, and took home the second place prize. The following year, Doug returned to Memphis to capture the first place crown as "The World's Best Elvis Impersonator." In 1993, after a successful audition with Legends In Concert he started touring the country and the world. Doug has performed in such exotic locations as: Bangkok, Hong Kong, Aruba, The Bahamas, Moscow, France, The United Kingdom, and Denmark. In 1999, Doug starred in and performed soundtrack vocals for the award-winning documentary film "Almost Elvis." ABOUT LANCE LIPINSKY Every now and then there's a tribute act that's so good people can't help but notice the person behind the persona-lurking somewhere beyond the make-up, costume and over-the-top haircut. Twenty something Lance Lipinsky is one of those lurkers, and for him to come out from behind his target character is really saying something because Lipinsky takes on one of the wilder entertainers out there, as the piano Rock pioneer, Jerry Lee Lewis. With many tribute artists, audience members leave either saying things like "he really sounded like so and so." With Lipinsky, audiences are wondering and wanting to know "Jerry Lee Lewis or no, who is that guy?" Lance grew up in Wimberley, Texas, just an hour from Austin, the live music capitol of the world, and by 15, he was a gifted guitarist. But when he discovered Jerry Lee Lewis, piano soon became his main instrument. After moving to Las Vegas at 17, Lance created one of the best and most talked about Jerry Lee Lewis tributes later dazzling audiences across the USA, and in Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan with his high energy piano playing and fantastic showmanship. |
