Introduction
I wish to thank Jamie Joslin for sending along the following introduction to ETA Al Joslin’s bio. Jamie also sent the recent video below that shows the professionalism her husband brings to each Elvis tribute performance:
Al does what he does as an Elvis Tribute Artist because he loves Elvis. Even if he never sang or performed an Elvis song, he would watch and listen to Elvis constantly. He just happens to have an amazing Elvis voice and has learned to incorporate Elvis’s mannerisms and looks into his show to give his audience the complete Elvis experience. He does his tribute to Elvis in an effort to represent Elvis in the best way possible. Jamie Joslin.
Al Joslin is a multi award-winning Elvis Tribute Artist who has taken his show across the country for the past 12 years. He is considered one of the top Elvis tribute artists in the business, having won first place at the 2016 Ultimate Orlando, and finishing in the top 5 in the world at the 2017 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis. He also won 2nd place at the 2017 Las Vegas Elvis Festival! He recently won first place at the Elvis Fantasy Festival in Portage, IN. This victory earned Al a spot to compete for the 3rd year in a row at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis. Al loves performing every era of Elvis, and considers it the highest privilege to give tribute to the greatest entertainer of all time.
His inspiration came after visiting Graceland for the very first time when he was 17 years old. Al started performing Elvis tribute shows shortly after graduating from Mississippi College, where he played wide receiver on the football team. He puts the same energy and passion from his football playing days into performing his Elvis tribute show. Al has been impacted by Elvis and his music in such a powerful way, and it is his number one goal to give a respectful and sincere tribute to his enduring legacy.
Al is married to his beautiful wife, Jamie, who is an attorney. They reside in the Houston, TX area with their two daughters. On May 13, 2020, Al and Jamie Joslin celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary. Everyone at SIDEBURNS Magazine wishes them many, many more years of wedded bliss.
