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!
