THE MAIN STREET MUSEUM OF ART is indescribably pleased to announce the long awaited opening of its All Elvis Art Show and a REALLY COOL OPENING RECEPTION with live music from seven and nine PM.
Saturday the Twenty-seventh of August, Nineteen Ninety-four, from six o’clock til eleven. with a special appearance, at nine of Elvis Aaron Presley with his four piece band.
Thats right, by an astounding coup of such Machiavelian dimensions that we are embarrassed to discuss them publicly, The King himself will at long last end his voluntary seclusion and re-enter the entertainment profession with a special concert in White River Junction to kick off his World Tour: “Elvis, Come Back ’95”
Mr. Stephen Connolly and his band Blue Suede Shoes will be in attendance and boy, they are really something to see; and Willy D and his Bluegrass Mutineers, a country band with a thrash-metal inclination, will provide an opener for this spectacle at seven o’clock.
