Wednesday 13th February: Valentine’s tribute to Elvis at Windsor

Valentine’s tribute to Elvis at Windsor


On Wednesday 13th February, internationally-acclaimed US Elvis tribute artist JACK SMINK, will appear live on stage at Chicago Rock Cafe, Windsor as part of their Wicked On Wednesday season.

Acknowledged as one of the State’s leading Elvis performers, Jack is clear that he does not wish to be recognised as an Elvis look-alike. "Jack explains: I want everyone to know, I am not trying to be Elvis. Every song that I sing and everything I do is a tribute to his memory and his music."
Jack performs right across the US including appearances at Florida’s Disneyworld and is in the UK for a week’s tour of venues over the Valentine’s period to publicise his new release “Just One More Time”.

The song came from a dream that stayed with Jack for many years. “I dreamed that I was in a field, an open field. In this dream I saw the visions written in the words of this song. I woke up with the words “Just One More Time” on my mind.” he remembers.

Then, five years later, he recalled that dream; he met with two members of his band, Mike Hostetler and Denny Mela. Together they put that dream to music. After sending a copy of the song to Ray Walker and Gordon Stoker of the legendary Jordanaires, Elvis’ backing band, they offered to add their special touch—their distinct sound—to this song.

Their contribution completed Jack’s vision for this song. Jack will be performing "Just One More Time" live at Chicago Rock Cafe during his Valentine’s Eve Show.

Admission to this event is £4 before 10pm and £6 after. Jack Smink is supported by popular Chicago's DJ, Gary O'Brien, who will take us through to 1am with a disco. Further details of this event can be found at http://www.wickedonwednesday.com/
