The Red Elvises began in 1995 after singer,
songwriter, guitarist and showman extraordinaire Igor Yuzov dreamed
that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing
rock'n'roll. Not one to say no to the King, Igor and his Russian friends
started playing what they dubbed "Siberian Surf Rock". The Red Elvises
are a Russian-American band that performs rock and roll, surf,
rockabilly, reggae, lounge and traditional Russian styles of music.
Believing that one cannot go wrong with “The King” Elvis Presley as an
inspiration and with “red” being not only their favorite color but the
national color of their native country, the band name Red Elvises was
created.
The Red Elvises’ sound is constantly evolving, old and new fans alike
can expect to be surprised at shows again and again, however the roots
of Red Elvises remain the same: Igor's unique brand of humor combined
with guitar based rock'n'roll that makes audiences want to sing, dance,
scream and shout!
