The king of rock ‘n’ roll will have his spirit embodied at an upcoming tribute show to raise money for St Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Caroline Springs.
On Saturday, October 28 award-winning Elvis tribute artist Sean Luke Spiteri will perform Elvis’ greatest hits from Blue Suede Shoes, Love me Tender, Burning Love and An American Trilogy at the CRC Performing Arts Centre.
“I will be backed by my live band plus a brass section with a stunning lighting show,” he said.
“It’s going to be a huge concert experience. I may also sing one or two gospel songs that Elvis recorded.”
Genesis Entertainment is helping organise the event, and promoter Matthew Spiteri said raising money is a special opportunity.
“This is my local parish. My children were baptised here. It was a great honour to receive the call from Father Richard to help put this event together for him,” he said.
“Elvis was incredibly religious. He disliked being called The King of Rock ’n’ Roll, he would say ‘There is only one King and that’s Jesus’s Christ’.
“Elvis would always sing Gospel Music after all his concerts to help him unwind after a big concert.”
Father Richard Rosse said he’s excited to bring joy to people through music.
“I am hoping it brings the community together for a social gathering for this very special event,” he said.
“We hope that people will join us for this amazing night. If it is a success we are hoping to bring it back each year for the community.”
