Eddie Miles
A Salute to Elvis by Eddie Miles is coming to the Tivoli Theatre
Saturday, Feb. 1 at 8 p.m.
Entertainer Miles presents an intimate solo performance of the music of America’s most beloved entertainer, Elvis Presley. This uncanny tribute also includes an opening show saluting the legends of country music, featuring the songs of Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty and others.
Screams, cheers and standing ovations are common at this nationally known artist’s concerts, officials said.
Eddie Miles headlined in Collingwood, Canada in July, 2001 at the World’s Largest Elvis Festival. He also headlined at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis last August in a tribute show commemorating the 25th anniversary of Elvis’s death. A veteran entertainer with bookings throughout the country, Eddie Miles headlined in his own theater in two major resort destinations (Pigeon Forge, 1990-1994 and Myrtle Beach, 1996-2000).
All seats for Salute to Elvis are reserved at $25.75 and $20.75. Tickets are on sale now at Memorial Auditorium box office. Charge by phone (423) 642-TIXS.
