  1. What is your favorite memory to date performing as an Elvis Tribute Artist?

“It was performing at the 2009 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis and Placing Third in the world, It was an honor to win such a prestigious award.”

 2. If you could be a tribute to any other act beside Elvis who would  it be and why? 

“I haven’t thought much about that because my main focus is the art of doing Elvis.  Although, I really enjoy Johnny Cash. If I had the chance I would choose Johnny Cash because its easy for me to mimic his voice. I’ll occasionally perform an impromptu Cash song in my set.”

  3. What is your personal record for most scarves tossed into the crowd in one evening, where & when ?

 ”Oh! (laughs) Taj Mahal in Atlantic City NJ in 1997, I think it was around 30!! The ladies just wouldn’t stop coming to the stage, but I was ready for them.”

4. How many jumpsuits do you accidentally rip yearly?

 ”They all have there moments.”

5. More on the jumpsuits… How many different jumpsuits have you owned since becoming an ETA and what is the most you have ever spent on a jumpsuit?

“I currently own 8 jumpsuits and the most expensive is the ALOHA suit which cost $3500.00!”

“I really enjoy Shawn Klush, Ryan Pelton, Donnie Edwards, Leo Days and Tony Roi”

 7. What are your favorite pro sports teams? If you could play one sport professionally, which one it be and why?

 ” That’s easy, Baseball. My favorite team is the Philadelphia Phillies. I always played ball as a kid in south Philly growing up, actually it was stick ball but my dream as a kid was to play first base for the Phillies.”

 8. What is the weirdest encounter you’ve ever had with an adoring female fan?

“I would have to say the time one women actually leaped on the stage to get a scarf. (laughing) I mean she was at my knees begging for one. I thought that was funny, but sweet.”

 9. If you weren’t an Elvis Tribute Artist, what would you be your profession? 

 ”I love to cook and I was in the restaurant business for 12 years, I would love to be a chef.”

 10. To date, at which Legends In Concert venue have you had the most fun?

Thank you Kevin!

Kevin was kind enough to honor our interview request moments before going on-stage to belt out “Blue Suede Shoes” to a capacity crowd in Myrtle Beach. Catch Kevin performing nightly in Myrtle Beach until the end of October. Thereafter, he can be seen in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Tour at Lumiere Place in St. Louis and  the Legends In Concert Holiday Spectacular at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut.

This 2009 version of the competition featured contestants from all over the United States. Elvis tributes came from as far west as Texas to bring their special brand of Elvis to the throng of Elvis-hungry fans.

The evening’s festivities were emceed by resident South Strand favorite, Steve Fairchild, who portrays Garth Brooks throughout the country at Legends In Concert venues. Steve opened the one night only engagement with an energized and Garth Brooks-ified version of  Elvis’ “That’s Alright Mama”, immediately drawing the crowd into an Elvis-filled evening.The evening also featured Kevin Mills, who made two special appearances throughout the evening bringing his Elvis magic to the crowd with impeccable versions of ”Polk Salad Annie” and “My Way”.

 The competition opened with the return of last year’s Myrtle Beach contest winner, Michael Sokolik, Jr., who brought local fans to their feet with an energetic & youthful version of Elvis. From there, the night shined on with a dozen more Elvis acts who belted out spirited versions of all of Elvis’ hits from the rare ”Edge of Reality”, to the spiritual ”You Gave Me A Mountain”, and the ever-popular ”Suspicious Minds”.

When the dust settled at the end of round one, only Nathan Belt of Grapevine, Texas, Michael Sokolik, Jr., of Socastee, SC, and Vince King of Pearland, Texas were left standing as the final three. Each of the three then performed two more Elvis hits for the judges. Michael once again took the stage with non-stop movement ala Elvis’ early days and he was followed by Vince King, who provided the crowd with a well-balanced approach to the King of Rock; mixing both melodic vocals and a polished resemblance to Elvis. But the evening belonged to Nathan Belt, who performed third in the final round. Nathan opened his set with a breathtaking rendition of “Hurt” that kept the capacity crowd in awe and resulted in an extended standing ovation. Nathan’s vocals soared to peaks that, at times, seemed almost effortless on his part.  Tonight, Nathan had the complete package; Elvis swagger, towering vocals, and a charm only Elvis himself could exude.

The judges votes were in!  Nathan Belt  (pictured above) saddled in first place followed by fellow Texan, Vince King, who placed a close second. Michael Sokolik, Jr.  rounded out the top three finalists.

As the curtain fell on Myrtle Beach’s second annual Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Preliminary round, the entire ensemble of Elvis tributes treated the crowd to one final Elvis anthem, “Viva Las Vegas”. 

Shortly after 11:30pm, all the “Elvi had the left building” , capping off the Fabulous Fifties Festival weekend which is certain to become an enduring tradition along the Grand Strand for years to come.

Over a dozen Elvis impersonators will convene to belt out some of Elvis’ most-beloved tunes. This year’s competition is sure to be filled with numerous treats including a special performance by Lake George contest winner and Myrtle Beach’s resident Elvis tribute, Kevin Mills(pictured right), and the return of last year’s Myrtle Beach winner, Michael Sokolik, Jr.

This year’s competition will also be accompanied by the 1st Annual Fabulous Fifties Festival; the brainchild of Legends In Concert’s Regional General Manager, Chris Beattie. The festival comes to the area on July 24th and 25th and will feature a charity golf tournament, a Fifties Sock Hop , and a classic car cruise. To kick things off on Friday July 24th, a charity golf tournament is being held at Wachesaw Plantation East, former host of the LPGA and 2007 Grand Strand Course of the year. After the golf tournament, a Fifties sock hop will shake, rattle ,and roll into Studebakers night club in Myrtle Beach.   On the afternoon of Saturday July 25th, over 50 classic automobiles will roll into the Legends In Concert parking lot in Surfside Beach and then cruise to Chick Fil A of Murrells Inlet. The weekend’s festival will culminate with the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at Legends In Concert at 8pm on Saturday evening.

Rob Caudill as Rod Stewart opened the show and set the tone with his raucous opening set which included the well-known closer, ”Maggie May”, that had an eager and willing audience singing along.

The opening night performance also included spot-on performances from Cher, Tom Jones, Whitney Houston, and Elvis Presley tributes. Cher, portrayed by Sandra Wood, was a crowd-pleaser with a guest participating on a fun-loving rendition of Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe” that had the standing-room only crowd in stitches. Next on was Steve McCoy, who like the real Tom Jones, had ladies swooning in their seats as he ripped through all of Tom Jones’ classics with unfettered passion. Whitney Houston tribute, Jazmine, took the stage next belting out all of Whitney’s greatest hits and ending off with her biggest chart-topper, “I Will Always Love You.”  In fitting Legends In Concert style, the last tribute to take front and center stage for the evening was Leo Days as Elvis Presley. Leo, a semi-finalist in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, churned out hit after hit from the King of Rock-n-Roll in grand fashion. Leo brought the crowd to their feet on several occasions during his closing set.

The evening concluded with a rousing finale’ followed by a thunderous standing ovation!  Each legend brought a unique excitement to their signature act on this maiden voyage with Foxwoods.  All of these top-notch tributes combined with dazzling  dancers, remarkable backing singers, and a  heavy-hitting, no holds barred rock band made for a classic opening night at our newest venue.

The Ultimate Rolling Stones Experience burned through Rolling Stones hit after hit. The guitar work was technically perfect matching Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood’s style lick for lick. Chris LeGrand, Satisfaction’s lead singer, matched Jagger note for note. The crowd was wowed by a 2nd half acoustic set and the closing song, “Satisfaction”-the band’s namesake, brought the house down.

Myrtle Beach local, Jamie Gainey, commented ” What an uncompromised tribute to one of the world’s greatest rock bands, the Stones!”  He also added that the “impersonations were extremely authentic with all the original flare and moves!”
