A major part of today's entertainment industry is tribute acts and impersonators. This could be a band or an individual artist such as an
Elvis tribute San Francisco. Many singers are available for bookings with varying degrees of talent and authenticity.
Two main types of Elvis tribute act are available in San Francisco, CA and some thought should be given when deciding on booking one. The majority of vocalists will sound like the man himself and have spent many years refining their set. In some cases the artist will also look like the king and these are usually more expensive to hire than just a sound alike.
When deciding on an artist it is worth doing some homework to ensure the act meets the needs of the client. The majority of tributes will be happy to tailor their show to specific needs such as favorite songs and even costumes. The price charged by singers will vary greatly according to how long the show is and what equipment is required to stage the performance.
Starting from around five hundred dollars a tribute act will turn up at the event with backing tracks in full costume to sing a couple of songs. If a full show is required with a live band and backing singers then the cost will be considerably more running into thousands. Many of these performers will also provide their own sound and light systems and crew to set everything up at the venue.
When booking a performer it is always advisable to use an established entertainment agency to ensure a professional level of service. The booking agent will be able to provide an act tailored to the customer's requirements and in many cases handle all aspects of the show. The other benefit of using a professional agent is that all insurances and licenses will be in order.
Internet companies can also be used to book a singer to perform at an event but there a couple of things to check if using this method. It is always a good idea to contact the artist direct and discuss the show with them and ask for their advice. Due to the fact that the king frequently changed his on stage look and as his career progressed altered his singing style many options are on offer.
After choosing a singer it is advisable to spend some time reading reviews of past shows and customer feedback. Many online agents will publish this information and this can be most helpful when searching for an act. Videos and recordings of performers are also available to give potential clients some idea of what they will get on the day.
Many of the Elvis tributes are very much in demand and if a particular one is to be hired this should be done as early as possible as a lot can be fully booked for long periods. A large number of Presley impersonators will also be travelling to enter competitions and are unavailable at certain times. It is also important when deciding where to hold the event that all permits are obtained and that any other items needed are in place.
