About Big Elvis...
From the Beginning... Peter 'Big Elvis' Vallee began singing at his local church when he was a youngster. There he was told that he sounded very similar to the young Elvis. By the time he was a teen at the tender age of 13, Pete learned to play the guitar and had put together an act. At a school talent contest he was not prepared for the unbelievable response from the audience, both students and parents were wild about his rendition of 'Jailhouse Rock'.
Ricky and the Starfires...
At the age of 14, Pete started sitting in with local bands in Seattle, and he had a regular gig with Ricky and the Starfires playing every weekend until he made the move to Las Vegas with the band where he stayed until moving back to Seattle to attend college. A number of years later, Las Vegas called him back where he began performing on a regular basis. This good looking, clean cut, good natured man, had a voice that sounded so much like the King of Rock n Roll that people were amazed!
