Booking An Elvis Tribute San Francisco

By Carolyn Young


A major part of today's entertainment industry is tribute acts and impersonators. This could be a band or an individual artist such as an Elvis tribute San Francisco. Many singers are available for bookings with varying degrees of talent and authenticity.

Two main types of Elvis tribute act are available in San Francisco, CA and some thought should be given when deciding on booking one. The majority of vocalists will sound like the man himself and have spent many years refining their set. In some cases the artist will also look like the king and these are usually more expensive to hire than just a sound alike.

When deciding on an artist it is worth doing some homework to ensure the act meets the needs of the client. The majority of tributes will be happy to tailor their show to specific needs such as favorite songs and even costumes. The price charged by singers will vary greatly according to how long the show is and what equipment is required to stage the performance.

Starting from around five hundred dollars a tribute act will turn up at the event with backing tracks in full costume to sing a couple of songs. If a full show is required with a live band and backing singers then the cost will be considerably more running into thousands. Many of these performers will also provide their own sound and light systems and crew to set everything up at the venue.

As a rule the best way to book a performer for a gig is to use the services of a well established entertainment company or agent. Most of these professional agents will be in a position to offer a choice of acts to suit the needs of different clients. There are also other benefits of using these companies as they will ensure that all insurances and permissions are in place prior to show time.

If a tribute act is to be booked via the internet then there are a few things to consider beforehand. After deciding on the chosen performer it is a good idea to contact them either online or by telephone to discuss the performance. Due to the appearance changes that Elvis went through during his career from the fifties to the late mid seventies it is important to choose the right one for the event.

After choosing a singer it is advisable to spend some time reading reviews of past shows and customer feedback. Many online agents will publish this information and this can be most helpful when searching for an act. Videos and recordings of performers are also available to give potential clients some idea of what they will get on the day.

One of the most important things to consider with an Elvis Presley tribute singer is availability. Most of these performers will travel around a lot and be very much in demand at certain times and they should be booked well in advance to secure their services. When deciding on where to stage the gig it is very important to speak with the management at the venue to ensure that all necessary equipment and performance licenses are available and in order.
