Photo of Jump’n’Jive - Adelaide Jump’n’Jive - Adelaide "Their musical talent, And all around genuine nice guys! And they don’t do what most 50s 60s rock ‘n’ roll bands do ... go off on their own tangent , they stick to the agenda and they do it SO well !! You can actually dance to all their amazing music! 🎤🎸🥁🎸🥰 Wait ‘til you hear “Cry to me” ! A standing ovation the first time they performed it ! 😍 We love this band, It proves you don’t need quantity, just quality! We even had them play at our wedding last year! 10/10 💃🕺" Based in Adelaide, South Australia Joy Baxter Photo of Rocking Elvis by Serafino Alberti Rocking Elvis by Serafino Alberti "Rocking Elvis was a surprise gift for our mum's 80th birthday. He played a 30min solo gig to a very small crowd indoors and he was everything we could have hoped for. Very entertaining and incredibly engaging, particularly with mum. She absolutely loved him. Serafino is obviously a very genuine, kind and thoughtful person, staying back to talk to mum - he made her feel particularly special. Highly recommended!"
