World renowned Johnny Lee Memphis, the JLM band, the Memphis Belles, come together to produce this explosive and dynamic interpretation of Elvis live in concert: The Absolute Elvis Show.

Elvis was Johnny’s very first inspiration. As a small boy Johnny would passionately watch all of Elvis’s movies and listen to his songs. Through the motivation and love of Elvis, his Aunt Helen started Johnny singing along and dancing the moves. All for family entertainment at the tender age of only 3. Johnny’s home grown musical talent has since taken him far and wide.

Paying homage to the King since 2004, he is absolutely one of the best Elvis tribute artists in the business. His craft has led him to work in countries such as Canada, USA, China, Australia, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Germany, and of course the Mecca for all Elvis tribute artists as he has performed directly across from Graceland in Memphis Tennessee, USA.

His career has also led him to meet and work with people who knew Elvis personally. To quote two of Johnny’s favourite critiques about his performance:

“Johnny is doing Elvis proud, when you meet him it’s like you’ve met your new best friend just like it was with Elvis” - Charles Stones (Elvis’s tour manager)

“Boy, you sure brought back a lot of great memories for me with what you just done on that stage” - Sam Thompson (Elvis’ bodyguard and close friend)
