A lot of people these days when choosing some entertainment for an event will hire tribute acts. The most popular of these types of act is an elvis tribute san francisco. There are many of these performers available for you to hire with different levels of ability and various styles of show.

There are 2 types of Elvis tribute act in San Francisco, CA and some thought should be given when choosing to book one of these. Most of the vocalists will sound like the king of rock and roll or very similar and will have spent years working on their show. In some cases the artist will also be a look alike and these will probably be more expensive to book than just a sound alike vocalist.

When you are deciding on your artist it is worth doing some homework to ensure his act will meet your needs. Many of the tribute acts will be more than happy to tailor their show to your specific needs such as singing your favorite hit songs. The prices they charge will vary depending on how long the show is and what equipment may be required to stage their performance.

For approximately 500 dollars you can book a singer to turn up in full Elvis costume with his backing music to perform the chosen songs. If a full gig is to be staged with professional musicians playing live instruments the price can run into many thousands. The more professional full band set ups will often bring their own PA systems and lights and also the technicians needed to work on the night.

Most people find that the best option when hiring an act is to use a reputable show business agent to guarantee everything runs smoothly. Most of the agencies will offer you a selection of acts to suit and also be able to provide all of the equipment needed for the show. It is also worth booking through an approved agent as all the permits and legal paperwork will be taken care of by them.

If you are booking an artist online a few things should be taken into account before making your choice. After selecting the singer that you feel will suit it is advisable to get in touch with them and have a chat about the event and ask any questions you may have. Because Elvis changed his appearance greatly over a 20 year period it is important to choose the one that is suitable for your show.

After a selection has been made it is a good idea to take some time to look at past performances and read any reviews that are available. Agents and some internet booking companies will often share this information and this can be helpful. It is also an idea to look at some videos or ask for a recording on disc or mp3 to help with your final selection.

If you have a specific impersonator in mind he should be booked well in advance as many of the artists may be committed for months or years. If the act is on the impersonators competition scene which many are, he may also spend a lot of time travelling. Some care should also be taken when hiring your venue and you will need to check what equipment and permissions are needed to put on your show.
