Elvis Is Back In The Building: Dwight Icenhower Returns To Stuart’s Feb. 20
< < Back to elvis-back-building-dwight-icenhower-returns-stuarts-feb-20Stuart’s Opera House will welcome nationally recognized Elvis tribute artist Dwight Icenhower this Friday, Feb. 20 at 8 p.m.
Raised in Pomeroy, Ohio, Icenhower began his career by singing karaoke at a local fair when he was just 16 years old.
Now he is one of the very few tribute artists to have made a full-time career out of performing Presley’s songs, performing four or five shows weekly.
Born four years after Presley passed away, Icenhower has “studied every move that Elvis made and has mastered the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s eras of Elvis’ career,” according to a press release.
Icenhower has performed with or received accolades from many of Presley’s friends and associates, such as drummer DJ Fontana, The Jordanaires, The Sweet Inspirations, Charlie Hodge, Joe Esposito and others.
Icenhower’s previous shows at Stuart’s Opera House have been well-attended and advance tickets are recommended. For details, visit www.stuartsoperahouse.org.
