• Blue Suede Christmas at Chuck Mathena Center

  Elvis is coming to the Chuck Mathena Center for the holidays!

With his uncanny resemblance to Elvis, you will definitely want to hear the renditions of his Christmas songs including “Santa Bring My Baby Back” and “Blue Christmas.” The voice. The guitar. The swiveling hips. It’s Elvis all the way!
