Elvis Presley may have “left the building,” but acclaimed tribute artist Matt Stone is keeping his memory alive during his Elvis In Person Tour. Join this Friday night at the SC Children’s Theatre for “the #1 Tribute Concert in America!” After years of studying the King, Stone has perfected Elvis’s charisma and vocal power, bridging his iconic shows to life. Even Elvis’ step brother, Billy Stanley, once said that, “When I heard [Matt]… now if I close my eyes that’s Elvis. It touched my heart. The only person I ever heard sing like that was my brother, and [Matt] was real close—SCARY— that’s how close it was.” Tickets start at $27 and are selling out fast. It’s a show that true Elvis fans will not want to miss!
In a world dominated by international and mass produced goods, there’s a growing belief that the most cherished items in life are those that are crafted locally and by hand.

Local treasures are waiting!
