To all my fans and friends I would like to announce that Jack Foltyns "Elvis 68" will be shown in the beautiful Sierra Hills of California. "Elvis 68" will be playing at the Sierra Repertory Theatre at the end of September through the beginning of October. I want to thank Sara Jones for bringing us there and that she had faith enough in us to have my band and myself and a couple of dancers to put on the quality show all of you are so use to. With faith anything can happen. When I brought Elvis 68 to Richardson it was a show that had such close ties to me personally. Every piece of music meant so much and thank God for a band that held me together through the small audiences with a passion to play and perform. Yet I felt this show was special for reasons outside of just being a regular Elvis show.
When Elvis did the 68 special he was at a crossroads with movie career and performing live. What he did that Christmas night for the viewers was let people know that he was still here and he was still rocking! I think alot of times we need something in our lives to let people know that we are still here. That with persistence and faith in the man above anything can happen. Well I'm still here and still rocking and won't let you the fan down
I am happy to say that the band will travel with me and rest assured we will knock them dead out there. I am very humbled that they would ask us and guess what? What you will be seeing in August will be the show we will be performing for them. I want all of you to know that what you will be seeing is something special in the making from beginning to end because you wont see the same show twice!
All of you have made it possible for me to keep moving forward! I would love all of you to come and see us in California and show them that great Jack Hospitality thats second to none.
I would hope that anyone who would want to volunteer their time we can sure use you for our August show. Whether that would be seating people, helping with concessions or merchandise just let me know. We will make sure you get to see the show for free.
As I wrote in the program when I we did the show "Elvis 68" its basis is love! Even through love lost there is creativity gained. Its what made the show possible. Powerful Statement! Reread that one. Each song has meaning from "True Love Travels On A Gravel Road" to "Can't Help Falling in Love" I wanted to take you on a journey to Jack's soul. Its funny I feel like I know all of you and all of you probably know what I feel or felt at times through music. When things became the most bleakest is when you became more aware of it. I remember Lori Vick coming to me one night after a Christmas show I did at the Eisemann in Richardson and just asked me point blank "Are you okay?, You dont seem yourself". Ill never forget where I was what I was wearing when she asked that. Sweat pouring down me, in the lobby and just point blank wanted to know what was wrong with me. With a woman you can't hide anything. She knew what was going on with me just like alot of others. Why? Because you care and the love you have shown for me has been incredible!
There is a great song that states "That A Heart Without love cannot live". That really makes a bold statement. We can only be as good as our hearts let us and sometimes when things feel darkest is when our hearts become more hungry for what we want the most. When you have love in your heart anything can be made to be beautiful but when you have love for yourself everything is beautiful.
As I always said there is no me without you!
So here is to all of you who have made this possible. Who kept on believing in me and the quality of shows we put on. This maybe just a step but its a great big fat baby step! So please make your reservations I want to make this comeback a comeback of all comebacks!! You know me Ill probably have to figure how to jump into a ring of fire!

The Comeback
Hi Ladies and Gentlemen
It has been a while I know! Of course all of you realize what had happened in my life the past year after my last show. It was a very humbling experience to be a caregiver and give up all you had to make one persons life better. You start to appreciate life alot more and understand why we are put on this earth. Its funny that as a person we stray away from things that would disturb us but in the same sense you feel almost instinctive into doing things you normally wouldn't do. For all who don't know what I mean, take just everyday things you do and all of a sudden not be able to do it and have someone else do it for you. Its at that time your mind goes into a different mode. For me it was like taking care of my child or a wife that you really loved. Through it all there were many obstacles and defeats. You lose so much personally from people you love, friends you had and a career you were striving for. All of that now that I look back at it was far from the truth of what I was doing. Being responsible for someones life was the pure truth. And I am here to say that Jodi Forrer is better than she ever was and healthier than ever!
I wanted to share that all with you because I also realized that performing is something that I do, something that God instilled in me. My brother once told me while I was in one of those funks and he said, "You know Jack you were on top once, God doesn't make mistakes he will put you on top again!" He also said, "I'm not even a woman and I would marry you!" I think he meant that as Jodi is a dear friend can you just imagine if it was someone like a family member. That all made me feel I was doing Gods work in a way.
So! The comeback! Now is the time to start new again and ladies and gentlemen this show is for you!! All Elvis! All Month! A different show every week! I really would love to see all of you come out! Opening night is special for all the fans and I would love nothing but to pack that place up. Its at a beautiful church still very intimate and it just has a great energy. And what better place to make new beginnings than at a church!! I would like to start a subscriber list so that the people who have been diehard "Jack" fans get a price break for tickets if you decided you wanted to come see more than one show!
Also Sunday is a show like no other. We always have the Why Not Jack brand. My Sunday show is a show called "WHY NOT YOU" Believe you me through this journey tearful and joyous at times, learning that life is about "YOU" and what you can do to make life better for YOU! By coming to this show you will feel inspired to do something that will guide you back on the path of YOU!! All of you have impacted me through the years and I would like to share that with you. By coming to see one of the shows, the Sunday show is free to you.
August is a month that I wanted to make special for you, and show the love I have for all of you who have supported me through so much. I have nothing but respect and admiration. So lets make this the best one yet!
