Elvis in Miamisburg?

How you doin little lady ?

Elvis!  It’s Elvis, I say.. as the 60 something year old woman reached for his chest and and tore a piece of his clothing off.

Yes, people will be doing a double take Saturday July 23rd at the Rock n Green Tomato Festival in Miamisburg.  The feature afternoon act, after a day of music is a 14 piece Elvis Tribute Band.  They sound great.

“Elvis,” played by Ryan Roth is a throwback to the era when Elvis played Las Vegas.

Sequin capes, bawdy gyrations, and that signature hairdo is what you can expect to see.  What you will hear is a complicated back up band called “The Comeback Special.”  

“The King” is coming to Miamisburg?

Come out and hear tunes like “Suspicious Minds,”  ” Hunka Hunka Burning Love.”  Don’t forget classics like “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock.”

This concert is just one of the sights and sounds at Rock N Green Tomato Festival at Riverfront Park in downtown Miamisburg.  So bring a lawnchair, grab some food and drink at the vendors, then sit and enjoy the live bands!

We wanted to dress Hungry Jax up like Priscilla Presley, but she would have none of it.
