 FEVER-- A Documented History

 

 

FEVER as a band has been called by many, The BEST Tribute band working today. That's not all that hard to believe, given the many years that FEVER has performed for audiences throughout the Southwest and the United States. FEVER's current core lineup of band members have been together over 10 years now, but the roots of the band go back to 1981 with some of the Biggest Elvis Tribute Artists working at the time. (Does anyone remember Alan Meyer and his show "ALAN-The Tribute To Elvis" known as the Original Elvis Tribute, or how about Johnny Harra? These were the guys who were the first people to emulate Elvis with full out shows paying a Tribute to Elvis Presley .Alan's show was produced by none other than rock impresario Dick Clark of American Bandstand fame. It was here that the first member of FEVER would originate.

The current members of FEVER spent many years backing up ETA, James Wages whose Elvis Tribute won several Tribute Artist awards including One World Title and 2 National Titles  as The Best ETA during those years. The band at that time was known as The Sincerely Elvis Band. So, after a name change and a couple more years with James, FEVER agreed they needed to work more than just one ETA could provide. In 2007, the decision was made to hire themselves out to any Tribute Artist who needed a band and in about 3 months time, FEVER was being asked to back a multitude of Tribute Artists.

This decision brought about a much more demanding work load for FEVER in that not only were they working more with a Variety of artists, they also had to learn many more songs to accommodate the different entertainers they were working with. It was at this time that FEVER added the amazing vocal harmonies of former Universal Records Recording  artists, the MARIE SISTERS to the band to cover the large number of intricate harmonies needed for these shows. It was also at this time that FEVER took on an even larger task, by accepting offers to work with other performers that did Tribute shows around  entertainers other  than Elvis Presley.

FEVER soon found themselves performing shows with a Johnny Cash Tribute, a Roy Orbison Tribute, a Neil Diamond Tribute, and a Willie Nelson Tribute. Soon a Waylon Jennings Tribute is planned with Willie as well as future shows that include a Barbara Streisand and a Patsy Cline Tribute. These acts together will be the performers for FEVER'S,.. StarShows© Production.

It's easy to see from the demand from fellow performers , that FEVER is THE band of choice to call on for all of their Biggest shows. This is because it is widely known that FEVER always comes through with precision and Professionalism with EVERY artist they perform with.

Through the years, FEVER has performed in a multitude of Venues, Theaters, Festivals and Corporate functions. Below is a short list of some of their most memorable.
