Graceland's Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Cody
Slaughter to Headline New England Elvis Festival
2012, Aug. 31 - Sept. 2 in Manchester, N.H.
(1888PressRelease) Returning for the fourth year
in a row, the highly popular New England Elvis
Festival will celebrate The King of Rock 'n' Roll
in all his glory August 31 through September 2 at
the Radisson Hotel in Manchester,
N.H. Manchester, N.H - Cody Slaughter will be
headlining the fourth annual gathering of Elvis
fans from the U.S. and Canada. He was the winner
of Elvis Presley Enterprise's Ultimate Elvis
Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis during Elvis
Week 2011. Cody was also honored with the Horizon
Award as the best new Elvis Tribute Artist at
2011's Heart of the King Awards in Las Vegas.
Cody portrays Elvis in the touring company of
Million Dollar Quartet, The Musical, featuring
the music of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl
Perkins and Johnny Cash. "Cody is in great
demand since becoming the newest Ultimate Elvis
Tribute Artist, so everyone is excited he will be
appearing during our New England Elvis Festival,"
said Jason Sherry, president of Sherry
Management, LLC and festival director. "Cody's
schedule will not allow him to perform anywhere
else in New England during 2012, except at our
show, so we expect the most fans ever at this
year's festival." Rick Huntress, 2011 New
England Elvis Festival Champion, will also bring
his special interpretation of the "Greatest
Entertainer of All Time" to an enthusiastic
festival audience. Rick is a resident of
Londonderry, N.H., and has been one of the most
popular Elvis Tribute Artists in the Northeast
since 1991. He honors Elvis by performing under
the name, The King's Image. Rick is also a
pre-qualified finalist for the 2012 "Ultimate
Elvis Tribute Artist Contest." Produced by Elvis
Presley Enterprises, the contest is a pinnacle of
recognition for Elvis Tribute Artists that have
dedicated their lives to honoring and preserving
the memory of Elvis Presley.

"Because of our terrific line-up of performers
and special events all weekend, tickets will go
fast," said Sherry. "The big event will be the
Saturday night show. This year's theme is 'Back
to the Beginning' and Cody and Rick are sure to
bring down the house with some great music that
night. Following the big show, guests will attend
the after-hours party, Disco Fever, where
everyone will be boogieing until 130 am. I
encourage all fans to visit our website as soon
as possible to purchase their tickets." The
Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest is another
exciting event during the New England Elvis
Festival. Preliminary rounds are scheduled for
Friday, August 31 and Saturday, September 1, with
the final round Sunday afternoon, September 2.

Artists that bring the most inspiration to Elvis'
gospel songs. JD's Tavern in the Radisson Hotel

Hours Party and then the Wrap Party Sunday night,
