Danny Vernon creates ‘Illusion of Elvis’ Danny Vernon, who has been Elvis
impersonator for about 10 years, looks right at home next to a 1956
Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
Elvis Aron Presley may have passed from this earthly realm more than
three decades ago, but the King’s spirit lives on with local
impersonator Danny Vernon, who will bring his “Illusion of Elvis” show
to the Cedarwood Bar & Grill tonight. And here’s what Vernon had to say
about the art of being Elvis:
How long have you done Elvis?
Why Elvis?
There’s something incredible about his voice. And of course his
repertoire is so huge. That’s really nice, to listen to his voice
through the years and to hear how it changes. He sang so many different
styles of music. He was just so passionate, and the style and the
bravado that he has.
What’s the key to getting Elvis right?
He seemed to pay attention to every word that he sang. It seemed to be
just very heartfelt and in the moment. (It’s important) just to be
thinkin’ about that and just be there, you know.
What’s your core demographic?
It’s a good mixture. Of course you’re gonna have the 55 and above fans
that maybe saw Elvis live and were there when the crest of the wave of
Elvis crashed against the shores of America. … When we do the festivals
and the fairs, kids seemed to love it as well.
Which Elvis will fans see?
I’ll probably just focus on the rockabilly and Vegas jumpsuit Elvis. I
just got a brand new costume in. I’ve got about 10 jumpsuits that I paid
upwards to two to three thousand dollars for. So it’s fun to see those.
Each costume has a little bit of a theme. The latest one I have is the
Egyptian.
What are your favorite Elvis songs to sing?
Well, my all-time favorite will always be “Don’t Be Cruel.” That always
is a huge crowd pleaser. And honestly, I like doing some of the … movie
songs. I think I’m gonna throw in a song like “Angel” – stuff from,
like, “G.I. Blues.” Every time I throw in a song that you might not hear
every day, I always get a compliment.
Be the first to see one of my new Elvis replica suits called "The Egyptian".

Many Sincere Thanks to Danny
Vernon's Fan Club for making it possible for me to attend and
photograph last night's almost full three hour, Elvis Bash at the
Emerald Queen Casino's outstanding venue/showroom. Along with several
other members of the Fan Club we filled an entire table to witness what
was probably the best Danny performance I have had the opportunity to
witness. Danny and Marsha were both "ON" and collecting the vibes and
adrenalin rush from those sitting in the audience. Danny and Marsha
along with full band, The Double Trouble Dancers plus a very special
treat for his "How Great Thou Art" and several other gospel songs were
the topic of conversation among the audience members. The sound system
was incredible and added to Danny's repertoire and style, with variances
in tone and quality throughout
Danny ended his performance in his white with orange
jeweled jumpsuit which seemed to be plugged in while on the stage, the
refraction of the stage lighting in the jewels added a special vibrance
and halo to his presence and the reaction in the audience

Photo Array is a grouping of some of the "nearly 6,000 people in Lincoln Bowl when Elvis made his first appearance in the Pacific Northwest. The air was electric as the crowd, many on folding chairs, awaited Elvis’s arrival. Many of the young women seemed to be in a state of near-delirium. Elvis had just finished being televised on the Ed Sullivan show, where he’d been photographed from the waist up, to protect America’s youth from his pelvic gyrations and, perhaps, little old ladies from leaving their husbands. The historic day for the Pac NW
was Sept. 1, 1957, when Elvis Presley played the Lincoln Bowl in
Tacoma."

Biography:
Danny Vernon creates the "Illusion of Elvis" from many years of
admiration of Elvis Presley. He has sought to create a show that will
hold the excitement of Elvis on stage. "I try to recapture the charisma
and sex appeal that helped spark a new direction in popular culture. In
addition, I also
aspire to show respect and support the integrity
of the man and his music."
Sincerely,
Danny Vernon Illusion of
