Elvis Tribute Artists
DWIGHT ICENHOWER
Dwight Icenhower was raised in Pomeroy, Ohio and began his Elvis career by singing karaoke at a local fair when he was just 16 years old. Now, he is one of the very few Elvis Tribute Artists that have made a full-time career out of keeping the legend alive.
Dwight performs 4-5 shows weekly and he keeps the audiences asking for more. Born four years after the King passed away, Dwight has studied every move that Elvis made and has mastered the 50's, 60's, and 70's eras of Elvis' career. He has performed all over the United States and is planning to perform across the world soon.
He's had the opportunity to share the stage with some personal friends of Elvis including: DJ Fontana, The Jordanaires, The Sweet Inspirations, Cynthia Pepper, Julie Parrish, Charlie Hodge, and Joe Esposito.
During the 2010 New England Elvis Festival, Dwight will be headlining Saturday Night's "ROCK 'TIL YOU DROP," performing as both Elvis Presley and Elton John.
