"Lil Elvis" Paul Hunt - Sportsman's Lounge - Schenectady

Born and brought up in Schenectady, N.Y., Paul's cousin Sharon introduced a six year old Paul to Elvis when she played "Hound Dog for him and taught him how to jitterbug in her room that was covered from ceilling to floor with Elvis' pictures. At nine years old, Paul's father and mother separated. Elvis Presley became Paul's father figure and like a father, Presley inspired his protege` to put his very essence into every performance. When Paul told Elvis he performed his songs, Elvis Presley told a young Paul Hunt, "thank you for the compliment, but if you remember to always be you and do you, you'll begreat." That backstage meeting with Elvis in 1971 in Boston Gardens became Paul's charge in his singing career. Paul Hunt performs with a full bodied four-octave range that captures the spirit that is the The King of Rock & Roll, but echoes the King's advice to always be himself . Paul strives to create a presentation that embodies the heart and soul of Elvis for his audiences from the '50s to the present.. Now with many life changing performances behind him Paul still puts his everything into each show. Paul has performed everywhere from the main strip in Vegas to The Big Apple and Canada. He has turned down an opportunity to tour with Frankie Valli, been given thumbs up by multi-Grammy winning country legend Ronnir Milsap for his version of the Milsap hit "Lost in the 50's Tonight," and done configurations from solo to eight oiece bands. In 1999, Paul recorded the Presley hit "Can't Help Falling in Love" for Pickwich Records for an oldies tribute compilation album at the RCA subsidiary's Woodstock Studio that was distributed throughout Europe. Paul plays both as a solo act or backed by a full band .He also plays guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. His repertoire includes a wide range of material from Roy Orbison to Frank Sinatra and top-40 hits from the golden age of rock and roll. He has evolved into a magnetic personality who never forgets the father figure who told him so long ago to put himself into his music. "Sometimers I feel like there is a presence there with me when I perform, whether it be spiritual or otherwise. If I brought back a memory or put a smile on someone's face during a performance, I feel I have fulfilled my heartfelt destiny as a entertainer".
