You are Our Ultimate…
Thus commented ETA fan Kristy Wan Lum on Ted Torres Martin’s Facebook page. Although Ted will not be competing this year at the Ultimate competition, fans can catch Ted’s title-worthy ultimate performances at two Memphis venues in August:
On August 10th, Ted will be returning to the place that he has been performing for the last two years, the world famous Hernando's Hide-A-Way.
“A lot of people have been asking me if I will be returning to Hernando's for quite a few months now, so here's your answer! Glad to be back to perform this intimate show for so many great people which always feels like being around family. I will be bringing you a different show where I will be performing lots of Elvis!/Classic Country/Rockabilly/and even some of my original music that I have written and recorded over the last year and a half (to be released in the near future).”

Also during Elvis Week 2022 in Memphis, on August 12th, Ted will be performing in “Aloha from Memphis” at the Halloran Centre, in celebration of the upcoming anniversary of “Aloha from Hawaii”.
“Hi friends! If you missed the “Aloha from Hawaii” concert being featured in the new movie, “Elvis”, as many of us did, then you won't want to miss our production of "Aloha From Memphis" during Elvis Week 2022 at The Halloran Centre on August 12, 2022, at 3pm. Help us celebrate the upcoming 50th Anniversary of one of Elvis's most acclaimed performances. We will be taking the audience back to 1973 with this fantastic production, an experience everyone will want to be a part of. It will also be the prototype for a brand new production I will be releasing in the near future. Elvis fans will not want to miss this very special production!”

Editor’s Note: I had the pleasure of interviewing ETA Ted Torres Martin for SIDEBURNS: The Ultimate ETA Fan Magazine in 2018 and seeing him perform in at the 2022 Niagara Falls Elvis Festival. Ted is a fantastic performer; and if I were able to be in Memphis this year, I would be going to both of his shows. Ted took a moment from his busy schedule to answer my question, “What is your favourite song in the “Aloha from Hawaii” concert?” Ted’s answer…
“My favourite song from the Aloha Concert has to be “It’s Over”. As a musician and having studied classical music for years, melodies are very important to me. The melody to this song is very captivating…just beautiful.”
For your enjoyment, I have included the following videos that show why Ted Torres Martin is the “ultimate” ETA. Have a great time at Ted’s two Memphis shows during Elvis Week 2022 in Memphis, you lucky fans that purchased tickets!
