The Elvis Impersonator is a thing of the past. The preferred terminology is Elvis Tribute Artist. But no matter what you call them, they’re struggling to find work these days. Especially the ones living in Winslow, Arizona.
A whole gang of Elvis Tribute Artists resides in the small town immortalized in an Eagles’ song. The group is held together by a long-timer who believes that portraying Elvis is his own special calling. Yet as the gigs dry up it becomes increasingly difficult to keep body, soul, and sideburns together.
What comes next for the jumpsuit-wearing, hip-swiveling, karate-kicking Elvii of Winslow? Do they pack up and leave town one by one? Do they throw down in an epic battle with the gang of Elvis Tribute Artists living in the neighboring town of Flagstaff? Or will fate take a hand?
People travel from all over the world just to stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, because of a song written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey. The town constructed Standin’ on a Corner Park, recreating the musical moment, and it has become one of the most popular destinations on all of Route 66. Yet where exactly does Elvis fit into this scenario? That’s where this story begins.
Plunge inside the world of Elvis Tribute Artists, their worries about their hair, song choices, and karate moves. Discover a collision of pop culture icons in this hilarious, offbeat short story that celebrates Arizona landmarks, Route 66, rock and roll history, bejeweled jumpsuits, and simpler times.
