The Grove Theatre Presents ELVISPALOOZA, 8/23
Join us on August 23rd for ELVISPALOOZA as we are Grooving at the Grove with "THE KING" in a Concert to Benefit the Grove Theatre and Academy. Elvis may have left the building, but he forever remains in the hearts of millions of fans worldwide. This marks 36 years since the passing of this musical icon (August 16th, 1977). To this day we continue to celebrate his music, his life and his legacy.
In addition to Elvis Presley's iconic public career, he was also famous for his giving nature and generosity. However, the true depth and breadth of his generosity and community involvement is not so widely known. Often, on the spur of the moment, Elvis would give away cars, cash and jewelry, buy homes for others, pay hospital bills for family, friends, and complete strangers and make charitable donations to many charities,. In 1961, Elvis gave a benefit concert at Bloch Arena in Hawaii that raised over $65,000 toward the building of the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
On Friday, August 23rd, 2013 at 7:30pm, Elvis Presley Tribute Artists from the Southern California area, who dedicate their lives to paying tribute to the "The King" through recreating some of Elvis' most iconic performances, will also pay tribute to Elvis' philanthropic endeavors as they lend their time and talents in a one night only tribute concert dedicated to helping to save the historic Grove Theatre in Downtown Upland, California. Backed by the TCB Flash Band, one of California's top Tribute Bands, these "ELVI" will take center stage at the Grove Theatre in an ELVIS PALOOZA, with all the hip shaking passion and spirit of "The King".
The evening will not only be a rockin' and rollin' good time, and an evening of great entertainment for the whole family, but also provides a chance to help preserve the performing arts and children's theatre programs in the community.
Artists on the bill include The TCB FLASH BAND and Tribute Artists: Chris Luna, Jacob Roman, Joe Bullock, Ceaser Garcia, Steve Murphy, Brad Carrow, Raul Conde, Gary Anderson and maybe more to come...
