Thank you for making our celebration so memorable and special. You have a beautiful voice and an
engaging personality. Everyone enjoyed the creative way in which you honored our family members and paid
great respect to the King at the same time. I would agree with your mother - you were definitely born at
the right time and you have found a wonderful way to share your gifts. Thanks again."

"This was an awesome tribute concert. My sister and I took my dad for his
birthday and was lucky enough to be in the 2nd row right in the center so
we could actually see these guys sweat. They were all great. We especially
LOVED Chris. Thanks for the lei, Chris. We will definitely be there with
more of us next year."

"Hi Chris,
You did an awesome job on Saturday and, as a result, you were the talk of the club on
Sunday! Everyone that I spoke with, without exception, really enjoyed your performance.
What made your performance most memorable was how well you engaged the audience. Everyone
was laughing, cheering and generally having a great time. You had people running to the
front of the room to get closer to your performance.
Your performance was well planned and presented in a very professional manner. I received
many comments of appreciation for your willingness to spend time after the show to talk to
audience members. Spending time with the audience after the show confirmed your commitment
to audience satisfaction. Your show was the best entertainment that we have had at one of our monthly events."

your family."

"Thank you again for coming to our party. You were great to work with and we
appreciated your flexibility with the short notice. Two guests at the party
actually thought that we flew you up from Memphis and seemed shocked when we
explained that you actually live here in Michigan. Thank you!"

"Chris, just wanted to let you know that I thought
you did a great job singing at the idol contest. You definitely were the most rounded performer there!" "Chris, you were great and not at all 'just another Elvis impersonator'! I've
seen quite a few and you are the best. Thanks for sharing your entertaining gift!"
