  • Jay Dupuis Live As ELVIS” with the King Creole Orchestra St
    Golden Opportunity “Jay Dupuis Live as ELVIS” With the King Creole Orchestra St. John Theatre, Reserve LA December 14, 2019 (Saturday) 7:00 p.m. $32.00 per person (includes ticket and transportation) $25.00 per person (Ticket only) Departure: 5:00 p.m. – Center for Primary Care & Wellness Departure: 5:30 p.m. – Ochsner Kenner Jay was born on the evening of October 18, 1974 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he lived most of his childhood life. Growing up in a house where his father was a professional musician made it very easy for Jay to follow in his dad’s footsteps. It was no surprise that Jay had an ear for music but, at the early age of three, his mom put on a record of Elvis Presley singing ‘Hound Dog’. As he listened, his eyes lit up and his hips started to move as he smiled with excitement. Begging his mom to play it over and over, Jay became a huge fan of the King of Rock ‘n Roll. Shortly after, Jay would put on performances for his parents, family and friends at social gatherings. “I would put on white pants and a white dress shirt to mimic a jumpsuit, flip up my collar, pretend I was the King and put on a show in my parents living room. I was never shy.” When Jay wasn’t imitating Elvis, he was doing extensive studio work, surrounded by professional musicians, or on stage performing in front of live audiences. Elvis has always been one of the biggest influences in his life and entertaining career, he can’t remember a time where he wasn’t an Elvis fan.
