Bill Cherry

Born into a musical family, Bill was introduced to the rich sounds of southern-style gospel at an early age from his father, a Pentecostal minister. This musical influence was one of many similarities in which Bill felt an instant connection with Elvis Presley.

A life-long fan, Bill began his professional ETA career in 1989, eager to honor the memory and music of his idol. He specializes in the” concert” years.

Bill takes great pride in each performance. Onstage, he completely transforms himself into the King of Rock & Roll. With precise vocals, movements, and an uncanny physical resemblance, Bill’s interpretive style is instantly recognizable and embraced by his audience. From the most tender love ballads, to the hard- rockin’ showstoppers, Bill delivers each song with impeccable energy, spirit, and heart, like that of his mentor.

His efforts to maintain a respectful and accurate tribute to Elvis have proved nothing short of successful, as Bill received numerous awards throughout his career, including 1st place at the 2009 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest Competition at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. Prior to Memphis, Bill took first place at the 2009 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Preliminaries in Tupelo, Mississippi. This back-to-back win proved historic as it was the first time any ETA won the title of Ultimate at both the birthplace and the hometown of Elvis Presley in the same consecutive year.

Bill continues to entertain fans worldwide and salutes the greatest entertainer of all time. Bill has spent the past year traveling and touring the country as well as in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. He just completed touring as a featured artist on the “Elvis Lives Tour”.
