12. Apr, 2011 0 Comments

The invitations are out and the clock is ticking. The time to “Shake, Rattle and Roll” is growing near for a great weekend of superb entertainment and fun at The Bosque Arts Center (BAC) in Clifton. The weekend kicks off on Friday, April 29^th with “An Evening with Roy and Elvis”. Friday evening begins with music by the Cavalcade of Stars Band, followed by Texas native son and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Roy Orbison (professionally portrayed by the incredible Al Nelson). After Roy sings a selection of his wonderful hit songs, including “Oh, Pretty Woman”, you will need to take a deep breath, because next is the KING!

From Tupelo, Mississippi to the banks of the Bosque comes Elvis Aaron Presley (portrayed by the magnificent Dave Tapley). From “Poke Salad Annie” to “Burnin Love” to the trilogy of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, “All My Trials” and “Dixie”, all of the King’s greats come your way live.
