To honour Elvis’ musical ability and stage presence, the Unplugged competition is looking for musicians to perform an Elvis song as a cover or arrangement, on real instruments – without a backing track. Special consideration is given to originality with a twist. Enter as a soloist or as a duet at the Parkes Elvis Festival.
