Musician and Paducah native Terry Mike Jeffrey will be performing with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra this weekend. 

Jeffrey is an Emmy-nominated singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, and will perform “The Songs of Elvis” at Vectren’s Opening Night Pops concert at the Victory Theatre. Shows are at 7:00 pm on Saturday, October 10th and 2:00 pm on Sunday, October 11th.  

Terry Mike is especially known world-wide for his presentation of Elvis Presley’s music. In recent years, with the unique blessings of Graceland/Elvis Presley Estate and the original orchestra charts from the official Elvis archives, Terry Mike and his band have presented their salute to the King, minus the impersonator element. 

Jeffrey told "The Greg Dunker Show" this week that he's done shows like this in several places across the country.

"Whatever city we're in, it's their hometown orchestra. We did Bowling Green, for example, this past June, I guess it was. We perform with their orchestras and we've done this in Denver and Jacksonville and Knoxville, and of course, Memphis, we do it annually," Jeffrey said.

Jeffrey said Elvis did numerous songs with orchestra, but many of them weren't singles or original songs. But some singles were composed with orchestra in mind, and songs performed during these shows include: “In the Ghetto", Love Me Tender," “Kentucky Rain," “Heartbreak Hotel," “Jailhouse Rock” and “All Shook Up.”

In spite of all of his work out-of-town, Terry Mike and his wife and long-time band member, Debbie, still reside in of Paducah.

Adult tickets start at $25, and can be purchased by calling the Evansville Philharmonic Box Office at 812-425-5050, by ordering online at www.evansvillephilharmonic.org, or purchased at the door, two hours prior to the concert. See the website www.evansvillephilharmonic.org for more details.
