"BIG ELVIS – PETE VALLEE" LAS VEGAS #174

Hello all,

Pete Vallee, known professionally as Pete "Big Elvis" Vallee, is an Elvis impersonator. At one stage and possibly even now, he is the world's heaviest Elvis impersonator.

Elvis career: At the age of 13, Vallee learned to play guitar. Even at that age, he was quite sizable. One day when he was singing in a choir, his pastor heard him and commented that he sounded like Elvis. He later was in Washington as part of a group called Ricky and the Starfires. Vallee started his Elvis act around 1996 and came to Las Vegas in 1997. He has been described as one of the longest-running, and most unusual, Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas. He performs at The Piano Bar at Harrah's Casino doing Elvis' 40-minute sets three times on afternoons. The best Elvis I think in the world, vocal wise.

Over 18 months ago, we introduced our Quarantine Singing Circle - an alternative way to keep all of our program participants and supporters engaged, in-community and feeling less isolated, while spreading some joy and fun at the same time.

Here is what we had to cancel and pivot:
ROCK FOR VETS
BARBARA ALPERT SINGING CIRCLE
AMERICAN GOLD STAR MANOR VOICES
VILLAGES AT CABRILLO VILLAGE JAM
DRUM CIRLCE AT THE VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

Did you hear the intro/outro music, let’s thank John Eid, Army Vietnam Veteran from Baltimore and Rock For Vets member.

The Rock Club Music Is The Remedy: Is dedicated to improving the lives and well-being of Veterans, at-risk youth and other groups through music instruction, education, and mentoring. A non profit organization - 501c3.
