Elvis and other legends

From Vegas to Graceland and everywhere in between, the world is full of Elvis tribute artists. One of those who best captures the essence of the “King of Rock & Roll” is Travis Ledoyt.

He has been called “The World’s Best Young Elvis” by many who knew Elvis Presley personally. Since debuting in 2001, Ledoyt’s musical repertoire has expanded to include hits from the King as well as Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and others from the country-western genre.

For fans of these late music legends who may never have had the chance to see them perform in concert, Ledoyt aims to be the next best thing. With songs ranging from “Folsom Prison” to “Great Balls of Fire,” and from “Hound Dog” to “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” the greatest hits are brought together in a single show.

Ledoyt’s latest tour is called “Sun and the Stars” and comes to Central Florida this week for shows in Ocala and Inverness. The spring tour also has stops in Georgia and Nashville for a series of Elvis celebration concerts before going on to play throughout the U.S. and Canada during the summer.

For more information about the show at 7 p.m. on April 19 at the Reilly Arts Center, visit reillyartscenter.com/events/travis-ledoyts-sun-the-stars-tour
