Elvistory is more than an Elvis tribute show or: it's a musical history lesson! Champion Elvis Tribute Artist Ruben Castillo guides you on a journey, touching on historical events shaped our society.

Elvistory: The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll 1957 – 1959 - Elvis has taken the country by storm, appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show as well as other variety shows that dominated early television airtime, and diving headfirst into leading man roles in some of his early films. However, while Elvis is captivating audiences on stage and screen, the wholesome America that is being represented on the airwaves is racing to protect itself from a changing nation, a world dealing with the threat of communism and trying to be the first into outer space! Songs from Jailhouse Rock, Loving You, and King Creole are highlighted in this late 1950s musical history lesson!
