The 'Gospel According to Elvis' is a musical roller coaster ride of 19 knockout hit Gospel songs performed by a seven piece rockin' band.

Southern Gospel music was the spiritual energy that illuminated the life of Elvis Aaron Presley. From his childhood, family and powerful Pentecostal singing sessions in the musical melting pot of Mississippi and Tennessee, to the Ed Sullivan Show and three Grammy Awards for Best Sacred Music, this was truly the music that "touched him and made him whole".

It's the music that now touches millions around the world.

From the opening scene set in Elvis' Memphis Pentecostal church, to the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas showroom, this is the ultimate Elvis story.

Son of a preacher, Andy Seymour grew up with this music flowing through his veins. Respectfully, he evokes the power, range and emotion of Elvis himself, through his extraordinary vocal talent.
