Anthony Von - Elvis Forever

For the past 22 years, Von has played numerous venues. He has performed everything from Top 40′s hits, to 50′s & 60′s music. In the world of tribute performers, Anthony Von has emerged as one of the most sought after Elvis Presley tribute artists. Von’s uncanny resemblance to Elvis Presley, combined with his high-energy interactive show, leaves the audience feeling that they have truly experience the king of rock n’ roll himself. Anthony Von has been playing tribute to king of rock n’ roll since 1993 and in a very short time has won numerous Elvis contests both in Canada and in the United States. The one he is most proud of is his first place finish as Canadian Grand Champion, at Elvisfest in Collingwood Ontario. He also earned a second place finish in Memphis, the birthplace of Elvis Presley. Von’s talent is not strictly dedicated to Elvis Presley. He has many years of entertainment experience with his own show band.

Eddy and The Stingrays : 50's Rock and Roll

"Right from the beginning, our emphasis has been on the entertainment side of things, to go along with solid musicianship…to be visually authentic, and capture the mood and memories that are the 50's and 60's...this is the real deal, four guys who live, breath, eat and sleep showmanship, playing non-stop hits from the 50's and 60's that fill the dance floor, while at the same time creating a tongue-in-cheek, poke-fun-at-themselves world that is ...Eddy and the Stingrays"
