Introduction

In response to a recent post about ETA Garry Wesley’s show in Brantford, UK resident, Andy Holland, wrote the following comments: We met Garry in Memphis at Elvis week 2019, a really nice guy. He gave my son Tommy Holland, who is an ETA, some great words of advice and encouragement.

When I saw the words, “who is an ETA”, I went to YouTube to check for videos of Tommy. After watching the following videos, I wanted to know more about the talented young ETA, so I asked if Tommy would send his ETA bio to post on SB Mag.

I wish to thank Andy Holland for sending Tommy’s bio and photos to be posted on SIDEBURNS Magazine. We wish Tommy continued success in his ETA career, and a very happy birthday to his dad, Andy, who is celebrating his birthday today.

Bio

Since breaking onto the Elvis Tribute scene in 2015 at just 19 years old, Tommy Holland quickly established himself in and around his home town of Bolton.

In 2016, he entered his first ever contest, 'King Of Britain', winning the gospel section and gaining the overall runners up spot, only to return 12 months later and win the coveted title of King of Britain 2017.

2017 became a defining year with Tommy making his debut as the resident Elvis in the long running Trevor Chances Legends Show in Blackpool.

Later that year, Tommy worked with Shawn Klush and Dean Z after securing a spot on Shawn Klush's UK Elvis World Tour, returning again on the same show in 2018 at the Manchester Arena!

In 2018 he started to produce his own shows, selling out venues of over 200, as well as performing in countries such as Holland.

In 2019, Tommy was one of the headline acts for Harbor Lights 'Images of The King' qualifying competition and Festival. He went on to secure 5th place in the Memphis 'Images Of The King' world championships. While in Memphis, Tommy also performed at the Graceland complex.

Tommy continues to travel the country bringing his dynamic tribute to Elvis, not just to the usual audiences, but also playing to crowds of up to 3000 at music rock festivals.

With impeccable attention to detail, ETA Tommy Holland faithfully recreates the sound, the look, the feel of the concert movies, 'That's The Way It Is' and 'Elvis on Tour', as well the iconic “'68 Comeback Special” and the movie years genre.
