After a four day audition, he signed with a show called, “Elvis, Elvis, Elvis”. This show covered the three eras of Elvis’ career and Stuart played the 1968 version of the King. For two years, he crooned movie songs and ballads with the tour, which took him to exotic locales in Asia and all over North America. Recently, he has also performed with such greats as the Jordanaires, Bobby Curtola and the legendary ‘Twister’, Chubby Checker.

“that was the best rendition of ‘How Great Thou Art’ I have heard in a long time”, Ray Walker of the Jordanaires, 2003 With 15 years of performing to his credit, Stuart now performs solo with his own show, “In Memory of the King”, thrilling audiences. He performs at private parties and public events singing favorites from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Differing from other Elvis tribute artists, Stuart prefers to let his sincerity hold center stage. Watching him perform is a lesson in endurance.
