His outfits are exact replicas of Elvis which cost in the thousands; no cheap Halloween costumes here.

He will also pose for pictures and make your party unforgettable. He has played with some of Elvis’ original band members who call Gene a wonderful showman with a God given true Elvis voice.

True Elvis fans follow Gene’s shows all over. Gene has been contacted for many jobs that have unfortunately gone to other Elvis Tribute Artists simply because they didn’t want to pay for the performance. Some Elvis Tribute Artists will do shows for free just to say they did it, but Gene puts a value on his performances and cannot do them for free; of course some charities are given consideration.

ENTERTAINING IS GENE’S PROFESSION, WHICH HE TAKES SERIOUSLY. SO FOR THE BEST IN ELVIS ENTERTAINMENT, FOR OVER 20 YEARS, CHECK OUT GENE DINAPOLI AT ONE OF HIS SCHEDULED EVENTS, OR CONSIDER HIRING HIM FOR YOUR EVENT. NOT ONE CUSTOMER HAS EVER BEEN DISSATISFIED!!!!!!!!!!
