Cherokee Casino held flashback weekend18 August 2016(PRESS RELEASE) -- Flashback Friday took on an entirely new meaning, as Cherokee Casino - Fort Gibson offers their weekend-long version, with tribute bands that played Aug. 12-13. On Aug. 12, local artist Brent Giddens became 'An Echo of the King' in an electrifying Elvis tribute show at 3 Rivers Tavern, inside Cherokee Casino Fort Gibson, at 9 p.m. Bad Moon Rising offered a raw, bayou rendition of Creedence Clearwater Revival, beginning at 9 p.m. on Aug. 13. Both shows are free to the public. Giddens is an Elvis tribute artist who competed in national competitions, including Elvis Presley Enterprises worldwide competition where he earned the champion title in 2010. The artist's high-energy show features all the eras of Elvis' career. His uncanny ability to entertain an audience and sultry re-creation of Elvis' voice are unmatched. Hailing from Cleveland, Oklahoma, Giddens' southern roots bring the essence of the King's charm and charisma to the stage. With multiple costume changes and looks, Giddens offer the true feeling of being in the audience at an Elvis show. His show is highlighted by the King of Rock and Roll's introduction to the world in the 1950s, the hits from some of Elvis' 33 movies, the famous 1968 television appearance that marked Elvis' return to live performances and, of course, the concert years that are now so symbolized by the powerful vocals, high-energy stage performances and the legendary jumpsuits. In 1993, five talented musicians came together to form one of the most exciting tribute bands around today, Bad Moon Rising. Lead vocalist Brian Eldredge captivates audiences with show-stopping performances nationwide, effortlessly capturing the spirit that is Jon Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival. For more than 25 years, CCR has held the title of "America's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band." No other group in pop music history achieved the crossover success that CCR did. The music and lyrics are timeless, allowing fans of all ages to sing and dance to their songs just as much today as they did a quarter of a century ago. Fans of rock, country folk or rhythm & blues alike, all find something to love about Bad Moon Rising's authentic rendition of CCR.
