The Ultimate Elvis Concert starring Doug Church and Jim Barone will play at the Broadway Theater of Pitman on April 24 at 7:30PM.

Doug Church began his Elvis career in the U.S. Air Force in 1983 while competing against hundreds of other contestants and winning annual talent contests. In four years, he collected 11 first place trophies for his well-developed likeness to Elvis, as well as other categories ranging from best male vocalist to best comedic performance.

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. Doug still works with Legends in Concert from time to time, but prefers to freelance and do the shows that won him acclaim throughout the Midwest.

It may be hard to imagine how anyone could possibly duplicate 70 different voice personalities with perfection, but Doug Church can. He has entertained audiences for 19 years, leaving them totally mesmerized by one of those voices in particular Elvis Presley!

Jim Barone is a 4 time winner of the Best Elvis Tribute Artist in New Jersey. Jim also finished in the Top 20 in The 2009 National Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest held in Memphis, TN in August.

When Jim heard Elvis for the first time, he was amazed. After singing some of Elvis' songs for his friends, they told him that he sounded a lot like Elvis. Jim likes to re-create the excitement that Elvis generated in his live performances. He says singing Elvis music "feels so right." Jim's favorite Elvis song is "Are You Lonesome Tonight."
