JODY "ELVIS" CRANSTON

LOOKING BACK :

I have always have been and always will be a huge Elvis fan. The Elvis Impersonator Shows I did were never with an agency or band. It was always voice to recorded music or lip-sync. My first public performance was in 1986 and the last was 1995. That is almost 10 years of song selection, costumes and shows. 

There were performances at malls, family fairs, Gateway Theater and school lunch times. They raised money for many different charities such as MS, The Canadian Cancer Society, School equipment and Youth at Risk programs. Sometimes I would be on local TV, newspapers and radio. 

It was always a great time!

I am a fan who took things to another level...

RICHMOND NEWS COVER

LOOKING BACK: This picture was taken during rush hour in the middle of number three road in Richmond for the cover of The Richmond News. Is that legal!?

RICHMOND NEWS

Jody Cranston grew up with Elvis and began impersonating
the King as a student at McNair Secondary.

LOOKING BACK: This picture was taken for and appeared in The Richmond News. I did a pose similar to the one Elvis did for King Creole.

We are both the same age in the pictures: twenty two.

RICHMOND REVIEW COVER

Much to the delight of visitors, Elvis made an appearance at last Saturday's 42nd
South Arm Family Festival. Richmond's Jody Cranston, an Elvis Impersonator, was one
of the many acts directed towards adults and their children during the all day festival.

LOOKING BACK: Spring/Summer fairs were a lot of fun.Great sound systems, great crowds! Usually the entertainment would there be to raise money for charity which was the best part.
