Elvis coming to Nelsonville Feb. 18 via Pomeroy

Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville is hosting nationally recognized Elvis tribute artist Dwight Icenhower on Feb. 18 at 8 p.m.

Icenhower was raised in Pomeroy and began his Elvis career by singing karaoke at a local fair when he was 16, according to a news release. Now, he's one of the very few Elvis tribute artists who have made a full-time career out of keeping the legend alive. Born four years after the King passed away, he has studied every move that Elvis made and has mastered the '50s, '60s and '70s eras of Elvis' career.

Icenhower has performed all over the United States and is planning to perform across the world soon. He's had the opportunity to share the stage with some personal friends of Elvis including DJ Fontana, The Jordanaires, The Sweet Inspirations, Cynthia Pepper, Julie Parrish, Charlie Hodge and Joe Esposito. According to the release, Icenhower has sometimes even been mistaken for Elvis himself.
