**ON SALE NOW**
Join us at The Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow to hear world renowned Johnny Lee Memphis and the JLM band, supported with vocals from The Memphis Belles, come together to produce this explosive and dynamic interpretation of Elvis live in concert – The Absolute Elvis Show.
Elvis was Johnny’s very first inspiration. As a small boy Johnny would passionately watch all of Elvis’s movies and listen to his songs and from the age of three was singing and dancing to entertain his family. As a result of that home grown musical talent Johnny has travelled far and wide, and continues to entertain people the world over.
Paying homage to the king since 2004, he is absolutely one of the best Elvis Tribute Artists in the business. His craft has led him to work in countries such as Canada, USA, China, Australia, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Germany, and of course the Mecca for all Elvis Tribute Artists, Memphis Tennessee where he performed directly across from Graceland.
His career has also introduced him to people who knew Elvis personally. They had the following to say about his performance:
“Johnny is doing Elvis proud, when you meet him it’s like you’ve met your new best friend just like it was with Elvis” Charles Stones (Elvis’ tour manager)
“Boy, you sure brought back a lot of great memories for me with what you just done on that stage” Sam Thompson (Elvis’ bodyguard & close friend)
About Johnny Lee Memphis:
Johnny has received many awards and accolades for his very accurate and sincere performances. In 2019 he was inducted into the prestigious ‘International Elvis Presley Tribute Artist Hall of Fame’.
In 2023 Johnny was a top 10 finalist at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest following on from another top 10 finalist spot in 2015 (the only Scotsman to make the top ten final).
Before that in 2014 Johnny won the European Elvis Presley Tribute Artist championships in Birmingham England.
He says that although he has had great success in contests and events all around the world, his greatest honour as an Elvis Tribute Artist, was when he was invited to perform as part of the queens jubilee celebrations held in front of thousands of people on George Square Glasgow Scotland. This event was held in the summer of 2012. The only Elvis Tribute Artist ever to do this with a live 10 piece band.
In 2010 Johnny represented Scotland at the Elvis World Cup Championships in Cardiff. One of the judges involved with this event was none other than close friend of Elvis, Joe Esposito. Very much to Johnny’s surprise he became World Cup Champion amidst hugely talented international competition.
The resulting media attention resulted in mentions on national news coverage from the BBC and Sky News as well as appearances on TV talk shows such as STV’s ‘The Hour’ show and BBC’s ‘The One Show’.
Not only has Johnny performed in theatres around the world, but as a result of his competition success and TV exposure, he was invited to take his show on a number of prestigious cruise ship liners in the Mediterranean and Baltic cruises, entertaining passengers even in the middle of the ocean.
Johnny continues to perform his Elvis interpretation and has recently competed in the 2025 Ultimate Elvis Tribute competition, with plans to compete again in 2026.
