Danville has a couple of connections to Elvis. First, the real Elvis Presley appeared live in Danville on Sept. 20, 1955 at the fairgrounds. The second connection is that the "Female Elvis", Janis Martin is from the Danville area. She was an American rockabilly and country music singer. She was one of the few women working in the male-dominated rock and roll music field during the 1950s and one of country music's early female innovators. She was nicknamed the Female Elvis for her dance moves on stage and hard hitting singing, similar to those of Elvis Presley. Miss Martin worked in later years at the Danville Golf Club and passed away in 2007.
