Ted Roddy created this tribute to Elvis show in the summer of 1986 and it has run continuously twice a year (JAN & AUG) at The Continental Club in Austin, Texas ever since.
THIS YEAR THE BROKEN SPOKE IS ADDED TO THE MIX!
The show kicks off with Shaun Young and some Austin's finest (THe Horton Brothers, T Bonta, The Lowells), performing killer renditions of Elvis' Sun Years into the RCA period. Followed by Ted Roddy & The 13-piece King Conjure Orchestra soulful recreations of The Elvis 70's Vegas Show___ from CC RIDER to Can't Help Falling and all points inbetween. It must be seen and heard to believe.
Calling all Elvis fans only —No jumpsuits, no jokes this is for keeps! By fans for fans!
Now into it's 21st exciting year!
AUSTIN CHRONICLE:where Ted Roddy & The King Conjure Orchestra and Shaun Young's New Blue Moon Boys pay tribute to the young Elvis and the not so-young Elvis. Every year it's the same story, rapt audiences amazed how closely these guys nail it.
THe Channelin E recording is available at CDBaby http://cdbaby.com/cd/troddy2

You know , sometimes she'd pick her a mess of it, dry it out on the clothesline and SMOKE it! Lawd have mercy. If you were'nt too careful , it might creep out in the night and MOE - Lest ya!!! Good God. John.
Ted , Forgot to tell ya , I did a show before XMas at a cool bowling alley bar with The Polkaholics (Picture Brave Combo before they went "World Music" , but more Ramones and more humor.), and I did "Christmas In The Congo". Brad from The Peyote Cowboys turned up , too. Jeremy Slater , Elvis' pal and Billy Jack's nemesis , literally , in Hog Heaven. RIP. LOVE , John "Strung out on nuthin' but MUSIC!".
Hey , Ted , Thanks for the friend request. Happy King's Day. I'm sure you'll be puttin' it down somewhere , tonight. And , hey..."Shazam!" - GJB in a Flash.
"If you don't think he was #1 , You're full of #2". What they say is true.
