Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY - Travis Powell, Elvis Tribute Artist, will grace the stage May 31 in an evening performance at the 11th Annual LakeGeorge.com Elvis Festival in Lake George, New York.

"I'm beyond excited to return to Lake George for this year's festival," said Powell. "The crowd at the LakeGeorge.com event is phenomenal, and I'm looking forward to giving them a show they'll never forget."
Powell will perform on Saturday, May 31, as part of the headline show, "ELVIS: It's International," which will celebrate Elvis' cultural and musical impact around the globe. The show will take place at the Lake George Forum, with doors opening at 7:00 PM.
"Travis Powell brings an electricity to the stage that you want to be part of," said Jason Sherry, president of Sherry Management, LLC, and festival director. "As a seasoned performer with a voice reminiscent of the King, Travis allows the audience to experience a flashback in time."
