A major part of today's entertainment industry is tribute acts and impersonators. This could be a band or an individual artist such as an Elvis tribute San Francisco. Many singers are available for bookings with varying degrees of talent and authenticity.

Different kinds of Elvis tribute acts are offered in San Francisco, CA and it is important to select the correct one for the event. Nearly all of the performers will sound like the king of rock and roll and will have spent many years polishing their skills. Other artists will also look like Presley but it should be noted that a look alike who can also sing will be more expensive to book.

A little research should be done prior to selecting a tribute act to make sure it is the correct type of artist. Singers will be happy to discuss the requirements of the client and tailor the act accordingly and advising on set lists and clothing. Prices will vary depending on the length of time on stage and what sound, light and stage equipment is needed for the venue.

Starting from around five hundred dollars a tribute act will turn up at the event with backing tracks in full costume to sing a couple of songs. If a full show is required with a live band and backing singers then the cost will be considerably more running into thousands. Many of these performers will also provide their own sound and light systems and crew to set everything up at the venue.

When booking a performer it is always advisable to use an established entertainment agency to ensure a professional level of service. The booking agent will be able to provide an act tailored to the customer's requirements and in many cases handle all aspects of the show. The other benefit of using a professional agent is that all insurances and licenses will be in order.

If a tribute act is to be booked via the internet then there are a few things to consider beforehand. After deciding on the chosen performer it is a good idea to contact them either online or by telephone to discuss the performance. Due to the appearance changes that Elvis went through during his career from the fifties to the late mid seventies it is important to choose the right one for the event.

After choosing a singer it is advisable to spend some time reading reviews of past shows and customer feedback. Many online agents will publish this information and this can be most helpful when searching for an act. Videos and recordings of performers are also available to give potential clients some idea of what they will get on the day.

One of the most important things to consider with an Elvis Presley tribute singer is availability. Most of these performers will travel around a lot and be very much in demand at certain times and they should be booked well in advance to secure their services. When deciding on where to stage the gig it is very important to speak with the management at the venue to ensure that all necessary equipment and performance licenses are available and in order.
