coming to rock and
roll Blyth Elvis style

"Huron County, get ready
to rock and roll as Pete
Paquette is coming to town."
Paquette is bringing his
Elvis tribute show "The Elvis
Concert" to the stage of the
Blyth Memorial Hall on Sat-
urday, April 9.
In this all-new show for
the 2016 season, Paquette
will be backed by the full
band The Rockin' Royals and
the sensational Tonettes.
Expect to hear the songs
from Elvis' Vegas era, which
was from 1969 through the
1970s, including "Suspicious
Minds", "Kentucky Rain; "In
the Ghetto" along with other
classics mixed in with some
of the more obscure songs.
Paquette fell in love with
Elvis' music many years
ago. This love manifested
itself into Paquette becom-
ing an Elvis Tribute Artist,
getting his start in the bud-
ding Elvis festivals and
competitions which took
hold approximately ten
years ago. Paquette
remarks, "Of all of the
awards I received in Elvis
competitions, the ones
from Collingwood are some
of my most cherished."
Because you
love your life.

Collingwood holds the larg-
est competition in the
world. Paquette's first
Collingwood Elvis award
was in the non-professional
competition followed by
twice winning the Grand
Championship to be
crowned Canadian Champ.
In his show, Paquette
performs the songs respect-
fully with his own interpre-
tation to celebrate the
music and bring out the
concert feel. As one of the
people who works and trav-
els with him states, "There
is only one Elvis, but Pete's
interpretation of Elvis
comes through with the
passion that he shows on
stage through his voice, his
looks, his moves and his
charisma."
For six years Paquette
toured across Canada with
his first show "Elvis the
Moments': Unlike most pre-
dictions by the venues, the
average age of the audience
tends to be from 30-60
years old, with both much
older and much younger in
the mix. The concerts are
often seen as an intergen-
erational experience where
the older fans introduce
Elvis to the new generation.
Paquette is proud to be able
to bring these types of
experiences to his audi-
ences time and time again.
His shows are highly antici-
pated by those who have
experienced his perfor-
mances, making new fans
not only of Elvis, but of
Paquette himself.
Pete Paquette has opened
his own company, Paquette
Productions. This gives
Paquette control over what
is delivered as a show. He
states, "Production is who I
am now," explaining that it
has been an exciting jour-
ney from participating in
the early competitions to
becoming a business man.
Having his own production
company also allows
Paquette the opportunity of
showcasing new artists and
shows under his banner.
This is exciting as he knows
MADE YOU
LOOF
how his own shows have
won over audiences to the
classic music of the past and
he enjoys being a part of
that growing movement of
bringing back the experi-
ences and memories. The
slogan of his company is,
"Bringing you the best in
entertainment."
Paquette is thrilled to
bring his new show to Blyth.
He has performed in Blyth in
the past, but this time it will
be a new production with
"The Elvis Concert". Paquette
advises those who plan to
attend to be prepared to sing
along, laugh, cry and feel the
performance.
