About Jeff
Jeff Bergen is quickly becoming one of the most exciting and talked about Elvis Tribute Artists
in the industry today. His star is rapidly rising on the "ETA" horizon, and the buzz is spreading
to Elvis fans worldwide.
Born and raised in rural southwest Missouri, Jeff now makes his home in Kansas City. Jeff is a
gifted vocalist in his own right, with a multi-octave range, and the distinction of having studied
voice with members of New York's Metropolitan Opera, and was a private student of renowned
voice coach Dean Wilder. Jeff was also voted a finalist for ten weeks in a row on Ed
McMahon's "Next Big Star" internet talent competition. He has been prolific in the recording
and performance of nearly every genre of music, including pop, rock, jazz, country, blues, and
gospel.
After graduating high school, Jeff completed four years of college with a vocal performance
major and a minor in broadcast journalism. After five years in the radio industry as an on-air
personality, Jeff became a member of "The Lads Quartet", and had the privilege to sing
extensively throughout the United States and Canada, sharing the stage with J.D. Sumner and
The Stamps, The Imperials, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Blackwood Brothers, and many more.
Terry Blackwood who toured with Elvis as a member of The Imperials during the "That's The
Way It Is" era, has arranged and produced some of Jeff's studio recording sessions.
During this period, Jeff was approached by a national organization for troubled teens and was
offered a full-time position as their exclusive music soloist for their North American city-wide
youth events. This allowed Jeff to take his music to every major city in the U.S. and Canada.
These events were held in the some of the largest venues the cities had to offer. Average
audiences were in the tens of thousands.
After hearing Jeff's musical tributes to Elvis Presley, many music industry professionals
encouraged him to focus on this endeavor. Jeff insists on vocal authenticity, and performs the
songs in the same key and arrangement as was originally done. Every era of Elvis' career is
represented with Jeff's unique and powerful voice. To accurately represent the dynamic vocal
range and versatility that Elvis had is the most challenging task given to an Elvis Tribute Artist,
and many in the industry believe that Jeff renders one of the most vocally compelling
representations of the Elvis music catalog to date. He has multiple CDs to his credit , having
recorded over 200 Elvis songs.
For those who were never able to see Elvis in concert, this is an opportunity to experience the
excitement and imagine what it must have been like back in the day when "The King" ruled the
landscape of popular music.
Elvis Entertainment is always a safe bet and a crowd favorite, and can be scaled up or down to
accomodate any event. Make your event special, and book your engagement today!
