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,..

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
