About Me

Rick Saucedo is a musician, songwriter, and Elvis Tribute Artist. At the age of seventeen, Rick began performing locally in Chicago and in nightclubs. Upon joining The Ambassadors, The Rick Saucedo Show began in 1972. Rick landed the role of Elvis Presley in the 1978 Broadway Musical: "Elvis - The Legend Lives". Rick recreated all of the magic and excitement of Elvis' career for six nights a week for five months. Following the success of the show, Rick took it to the Stardust in Las Vegas in 1979. Ever since, Rick has been credited as one of the original tribute artists to Elvis Presley. He has been performing longer than Elvis did and it was his full-time work long before people made habits out of impersonating Elvis. Years later, Rick is still considered one of the top tributes to Elvis and has never stopped entertaining. He performs at clubs, restaurants, fests, theatres, casinos, corporate events, sporting events, and more. Rick's schedule has him performing over one-hundred shows a year, mostly in-and-around Chicago. While not performing, Rick continues song writing and spending his free time in the recording studio. Rick has written dozens of original music, from Psychedelic, to Country, to Rock, and to Gospel. For contact, booking, merchandise, show schedule, and more, go to www.ricksaucedo.com.
