SCOT BRUCE - TRIBUTE TO ELVIS
Los Angeles / Palm Springs, California
A Tribute to the King - Starring Scot Bruce
Musician/actor Scot Bruce celebrates what made Elvis not only the King of Rock & Roll... but the King of Cool! See the magic that made a generation swoon in the 1950’s and 60’s, before the white jumpsuit, sunglasses, and the glitter of Vegas.
Along with his rockin’ 4-piece band, Bruce meticulously and respectfully recreates the electrifying musical excitement of Elvis in his prime... right down to the vintage instruments, the hip ‘threads’ and the grease in the hair. From Elvis’ humble beginnings at Sun Records, to the Ed Sullivan show (when America caught its first glimpse of him), through his Hollywood career... and to his black leather-clad, 1968 ‘Comeback’ TV Special.
Bruce has performed in sold-out venues world wide, and has won critical acclaim for his uncanny musical portrayal. This is one show guaranteed to have you All Shook Up!

CASH' D OUT - Johnny Cash Tribute
San Diego, California
“Some people are impressionists. These guys leave an impression”. Says Bill Miller, owner of Johnny Cash.com about Cash’d Out, a San Diego based band that channels Johnny Cash in about as close a manner to the real thing as it gets.
After thirteen years, traveling hundreds of thousands of miles on the road and winning over as many fans, fans who still continually tell the group how grateful they are that Cash’d Out so righteously carries the torch of the Johnny Cash Show.
Besides music critics anointing Cash’d Out as "the next best thing to Johnny Cash”, their highlights have been many:
W.S. Holland, Johnny Cash’s longtime drummer, has sat in with Cash’d Out; front man, Douglas Benson, has played Johnny’s cherry sunburst Guild guitar (courtesy of Mr. Miller); “Cindy Cash came to a show and was moved to give me a glass locket that was her father’s,” explains Benson; Longtime Johnny Cash manager Lou Robin has also been to several Cash’d Out shows and claimed that if he closed his eyes it was as if “going back in time.”; And most recently, an unforgettable evening performing the music of Johnny Cash with the San Diego Symphony as a special event for their Summer Pops Series.

JOHN MUELLER - BUDDY HOLLY TRIBUTE
Los Angeles, California
Buddy . . . The Buddy Holly Story opened at the American Heartland Theatre in Kansas City in January, 1996. Fans were quick to realize that before John Mueller played Buddy Holly, never has the rock and roll legend been so faithfully portrayed. Aside from winning a Drama Desk award, John's performance is perhaps best summed up by original Crickets member Niki Sullivan. "John is a reincarnation of Buddy Holly. He is that good. He has the same determination in his eyes that Buddy did and when John is on stage, he is a totally dynamic performer, just like Buddy. John is awesome."
John Mueller was raised on the electrifying music of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and of course, Buddy Holly. Playing along to that great old rock and roll with his Sears and Roebuck drum set and Dutch Masters cigar box guitar, a young John Mueller unknowingly began a career that would take him throughout the United States, playing his music and acting for the stage, film and television.
