“Love Me Tender” Elvis tribute at The Pearl

BONNERS FERRY — Come in from the snow to warm your Valentine with a “Love Me Tender” Saturday night at The Pearl, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m.

Brad Mitchell, a renowned Elvis tribute performer, just returned from the Caribbean after performing for an Elvis Birthday Cruise, and he’s looking forward to making your weekend special.

Mitchell hails from Spokane, but travels throughout the country to perform for enthusiastic fans. We are pleased to have an award-winning artist in our little theater, and he’s preparing an evening to remember, complete with back-up singers, costume, set, and light changes.

He has won a number of competitions, including the 2015 Blind Voice in Memphis and the 2016 Georgia Elvis Festival. Mitchell’s audiences appreciate his commitment to an authentic experience: “Just the mannerisms, the charisma, the voice, his moves, takes a lot of study....”

He clearly recognizes the importance of honoring the memory of The King: “They are the largest shoes in the world to fill. SO if you start thinking you’re Elvis, you’re going to fail. It’s out of love and respect and to keep his memory alive.” He takes care of fans and builds a dedicated following.

“If you knew Elvis, you knew he was sincere. Only then,” Mitchell says, “can come the rest of a tribute artist’s arsenal.’” - from Las Vegas Review Journal.

In addition to the show, The Pearl Café will feature special Valentine treats with a few Elvis touches. Nora will prepare some of Elvis’s favorites, including Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches and Banana Pudding with Nilla Wafers. She will also have Crabby Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Hearts, Shrimp Cocktail,New England Clam Chowder.

The drink special is a mimosa and there will be plenty of desserts available, including: Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Chocolate Dipped Bacon Strip, Cheesecake Slices with Fresh Strawberries and Cream, Heart-Shaped Decorated Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Dipped Pretzels, and Red-Green Cake Squares.

Advance ticket purchases suggested. We have already sold many and may have a sell-out crowd. Tickets are on sale at Mountain Mike’s and Bonners Books, or through our website: thepearltheater.org.
