performed in South America, but now his legend
and spirit can be celebrated and honored during
our May 2013 São Paulo Elvis Festival."
Sherry added that the highlight of the festival
on Saturday night, May 3, is the Las Vegas-styled
concert, "Encore From Memphis to São Paulo." Two
of the most accomplished and popular Elvis
Tribute Artists, Vic Trevino Jr. and Dwight
Icenhower, will rock the house, backed by São
Paulo's Morris Britt Band.

Trevino's tribute to Elvis will transport guests
back to the early days of his career during the
1950s, when his legendary status as the King of
Rock 'n' Roll was just beginning to grow. As the
headliner and special guest of the Festival,
Icenhower will recreate one the greatest moments
in Elvis' career, the unforgettable 1968
"Comeback" TV Special. Alexandre Pittoli will
serve as Master of Ceremonies for the Saturday
evening concert and all festival events. "An
Elvis Presley Tribute Festival wouldn't be
complete without the after-hours parties that our
American festival goers love," said Sherry.
"Following the semi-final round of the Ultimate
Elvis Tribute Artist Contest Friday evening and
the big concert Saturday evening, everyone will
be gathering to continue the partying into the
wee hours of the morning." According to Sherry,
the locations of the after-hours parties have yet
to be determined, and other activities may also
be added to the four-day schedule. São Paulo
