Elvis Tribute Shreveport Louisiana

July 21, 2004 | Other
Shreveport Louisiana is to host a special Elvis Presley Concert 16th October 2004, at the "Cradle of the Stars", the Municipal Auditorium on Elvis Presley Avenue. Scotty Moore, James Burton, DJ Fontana and many more will be there.

The city intends to erect a life-sized bronze statue of Elvis as he looked when he made his Debut on the famous "Louisiana Hayride" show 16th October 1954! An ambitious plan to form an Elvis/Music tourist trail from Nashville, via Memphis, Tupelo, Jackson, Shreveport and on to New Orleans is being worked on.

If the Shreveport events prove to be very successful and the media give it a lot of coverage, sales of Elvis CDs etc would benifit from all the publicity. The next step I think should be an "Elvis Presley Hayride Festival Shreveport", in October! Therefore extending "the Elvis Season". Excellent publicity for Christmas sales. BMG, all cheques to Maurice:-)
