FRANK WERTH www.KingOfFate.com Hays, KS

My purpose of being an ETA, (Elvis Tribute Artist) is simply because it has been a way for me to thank Elvis for everything he has done for me. I never met the man in person and neither do I have to. In my heart, our souls have connected through the power of God and the purity of his music. Having said all that, I would like to tell you a little more about myself. My first time walking on stage scared me to death. There were many times when I would get physically ill. I constantly remind myself, as well as the people around me, that this is Elvis' tribute, and that I will always perform with the utmost respect in honor of the King. Today my job as an ETA is to never let the people forget about this Legend, and King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley.
