Award-winning tribute artist, Matt Cordell will perform his Elvis tribute concert Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Gem Theater in Etowah.

Cordell performs weekly in Pigeon Forge at Smith Family Theater, Elvis Museum and Memories Theater and has been singing Elvis tunes since he was a young boy.

His music career really began taking off after shows the Chattanooga Choo Choo and Dollywood.

Cordell will be performing favorite Elvis hits — including pop songs and show tunes, as well as some gospel and inspirational songs.

Cordell, much like Elvis, loves to perform, sing, and dance, and finds acting enjoyable as well — given the opportunity.

The Merchants and Friends of Etowah, and Etowah Parks and Recreation, have hosted Cordell several times to completely sold-out crowds, with January and August 2010 filling over 500 seats.

Advance reserve seats can only be purchased at Etowah Carnegie Library or online at www.etowahtn.org.
