He has earned the approval of Elvis’ friends and family, who have said:

“Matt is incredibly gifted & handsome, with incredible energy and sex appeal.” – Joyce Bova (Longtime Elvis Girlfriend)
He has even been heard on SiriusXM’s ELVIS RADIO!
Backed by a sensational all-star band, Matt Stone MESMERIZES fans into blue-suede bliss as they’re HYPNOTIZED into thinking Elvis is BACK IN THE BUILDING at the PEAK of his prowess!
