Blue Suede Crew

The King Lives On: Blue Suede Crew Salutes Elvis Presley

Get ready for a night of rock ‘n’ roll as Blue Suede Crew returns to The Bornemann with a high-energy tribute to the music of Elvis Presley. From the swagger of early rockabilly to the powerhouse Vegas-era hits, this dynamic band captures the spirit, sound, and excitement of the King of Rock and Roll.

Featuring spot-on musicianship and an electrifying stage presence, Blue Suede Crew delivers a crowd-pleasing set packed with the songs that made Elvis a legend. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering the magic for the first time, this show is a celebration of timeless music that still gets audiences on their feet.

Before the headlining set, the evening opens with something equally special: Bruce & Claudia, the husband-and-wife duo of The Soul Seekers. Their chemistry is immediate and undeniable, blending soulful vocals and warm musicianship that sets the tone for a night rooted in classic sound and authentic performance.
