Joe Elvis Tirrito Shakes Up Palos Country Club With Dinner Show

ORLAND PARK, IL — The great Joe Elvis Tirrito and the EAS Band will be shaking up the Palos Country Club with dinner and a show on Sunday, Aug. 25. Tirrito, who loves the King and his music, will perform Elvis Presley's music from his later years starting with Elvis’s 1968 comeback TV special to the singer’s Vegas and concert years. Doors open at 4 p.m., with dinner served at 5 p.m., followed by a three-hour show that starts at 6:30 p.m.

Known as one of the Southland's most preeminent Elvis tribute artists (he's not an impersonator), Tirrito will be performing his tribute to the King commemorating the Palos Country Club’s 100th anniversary. Tirrito is the founder and producer of the Windy City ETA Contest, which attracts Elvis tribute artists from around the world.

Tirrito inherited his love of Elvis from his late father, who passed away in 2010. He learned to sing Elvis's songs listening to his music on 8-track tapes accompanying his trucker father on road. Tirrito has parlayed his love for Elvis into a tribute show that’s taken him all over the world. He’s also a great singer in his own right.

"I've been doing Elvis longer than Elvis," Tirrito laughed. "I used do all eras from the early years to Las Vegas Elvis. Now that I'm older I can't do young Elvis. I do the '68 comeback special. I still look young enough to pull it off. That's as early as I go."

The Palos Country Club is located at 13100 Southwest Highway, Orland Park. Tickets $60 per person. Only prepaid guests will be admitted. RSVP and order tickets by calling 708-448-6550.
