Don Rose was born
in Dayton, OH in 1958. He was active in sports throughout high school
and college winning many athletic awards. Don was raised in a musical
oriented family with his brother singing and playing guitar, his Father
fooling around with steel guitar and Mom joined in on the tambourine.
His Mom was also
taking Don to see all of Elvis®' movies at theaters as soon as they
opened. He has fond memories of going to see "Girl Happy" and
talking his Mother into sitting through it 3 times!
Don started performing his Elvis® show a few years after Elvis® passed away, sing mainly for his own enjoyment in the basement of his parent's home. He was eventually talked into performing for some friends in the living room, and thus his performance career had begun. He started with tapes through college and progressed to his own band. He has since made his career as an entertainer not only doing Elvis®, but also with his own show group, The Don Rose Revue. |
| He has performed
his Elvis® tribute all across the United States and Canada. He has toured
in Germany and Switzerland, and played in showrooms of major Cruise
lines. He now makes his home in Las Vegas where he spends about half the
year - the other half on the road, playing major Casinos, doing
corporate and convention work, along with concerts and one-niters.
Don has been called by his fans one of the hardest working men in show business. His tribute to Elvis®, "Elvis®: That's the Way it Was" is said to be one of the best. He has a following across the country and an affiliation with the Jailhouse Rockers of California. His stage charisma and his strong voice are what fans most compare to the real Elvis®. Don knows that there will never be another Elvis® Presley and considers himself to be acting out a part in his portrayal of Elvis®. Don works hard to make every event a special occasion and looks forward to meeting Elvis® fans old and new across the country. |
