Our unique brand of entertainment fuses hard hitting grooves and punchy dance beat with the sounds of 70s and 80s and with impeccable attire that will make you want to dance all night.

Known as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, as well as being one of the most influential performers/entertainers to American and world audiences, Elvis Presley’s presence and spirit continue on. Live music provided by GracelandManila "Tribute To The King," is an entertaining, sentimental, and high-energy tribute to “The King of Rock & Roll.”
Tony Colinares, a Filipino-American Seattle-based singer, actor, and musician brings the legendary persona to life. He is a past 1st place winner at the Seattle Elvis Invitationals, being voted “Seattle’s #1 Elvis.”
Touching everything on Elvis' wide spectrum of material - from the upbeat Rock & Roll, and Blues to the tender ballads, to the light-hearted wisecracks, you can always expect a fun-filled and lively performance that appeals to all ages, backgrounds, and musical tastes.
