Over the past 20 years, the Collingwood Elvis Festival has helped to preserve the legacy of Elvis Presley, the original rock star, and has provided visitors with the opportunity to hear Elvis’ music performed live once again. In 2015, we’re introducing a new music series that will give aspiring singer/songwriters the chance to showcase their unique talents through live performances of their original compositions to a crowd of music fans who know what it looks like when an artist tries something original, puts themselves into their songs, and can deliver an amazing live performance.
These are not tributes. These performances will be raw, real, and relatable – just like the story of Elvis’ climb from truck driver and aspiring singer...to legend.
In 2015, we invite you to experience a music series unlike any other, to have the opportunity to say ‘I knew them from the start.’ Experience the first Collingwood Live & Original Music Series - coming to the Collingwood Elvis Festival July 23-26, 2015 - www.collingwood.ca/liveoriginal
