JONNY BARBER'S ROCKIN' CHRISTMAS
Jonny Barber, formerly known as the "The Velvet Elvis", and his band also recreate the excitement of Elvis Presley in his prime, with both the guitar chops, mutton chops, and vocal chops to impress even the most die hard fan. Billy Bop, a rockabilly fanzine in Belgium, went so far as to call Mr. Barber, “Mr. Rock and Roll himself!”
Joining Jonny onstage is Scotty Baxendale, legendary lead guitar player and guitar builder (who has made guitars for James Burton, Johnny Depp and Carl Perkins, among others. www.colfaxguitarshop.com); Mad Dog Mike Minnick, who has manned the skins for many great rockabilly bands including Hillbilly Hellcats, Paul Galaxy, The Aquasonics, and GT & The Sidewinders; and Ian P. Gilchrist or "The Man Behind The Curtain" on bass.“The greatest thing about playing this music is you get the opportunity to completely rock out four generations of fans and everyone knows the words and can sing along," says Barber (who was given his nickname by a fan who said he 'didn't so much look like Elvis as he did a velvet painting of Elvis'). "Elvis may have been the man on the stage, but I'm the man in the painting."
Looking for something special and fun to do this holiday season? Come celebrate The King of Peace by singing songs performed by The King of Rock and Roll. Jonny Barber (formerly The Velvet Elvis, considered by many to be Colorado's premiere Elvis Tribute Artist) presents his Fifth Annual "Blue, Blue Christmas Show". Not only will you see the next best thing to The King shake his hips, curl his lips, and sing the hits of Elvis, you will also see the newly reborn Jonny Barber cover Christmas classics from Sinatra, Chuck Berry, Bing Crosby, Buddy Holly, The Kinks, John Lennon, and The Ronettes, to name a few. Come prepared to sing along!
