Photo of The Vinyl Stripes The Vinyl Stripes "You guys were perfect for our party. I can’t tell you how many people told us how great the band was. You kept everybody dancing until the end. We’ll be seeing you again. Thanks for making our Anniversary party such a memorable event. Joe and Josephine" Based in Dallas, Texas (182 miles from Austin) Joe Mitchell Photo of Mario Manzini Entertainment Mario Manzini Entertainment "I booked Mario Manzini to present his Tribute To Elvis music show here at Richardson Auditorium. We have over 1,300 seats and his show packed in a full crowd at $ 25 a seat on Jan 7, 2025 for Elvis's birthday. Mario is rated the top 3rd Elvis Tribute Artist in the Mid West and his show was fantastic. He did 2 sets of an hour each singing all of the hit songs of Elvis. This is the 3rd time in the past few years that we have had him perform here and it won't be the last. I highly recommend Mario Manzini for any event where you are wanting a first class Elvis concert.

We initially wanted a song or two and some photos, but he told us about his 30 minute wedding show and he really rocked the house. He did a great job at having me and my bride still being the center of it all, but brought the energy we wanted to get everyone on the dance floor. It's been about 3 weeks now, and our family and friends are still raving about what a great job he did and how much fun they had dancing with The King! Steve is a THE answer for your Las Vegas Elvis appearance!" Based in Las Vegas, Nevada (1,083 miles from Austin) 13th October 2026 Dan - Wedding
