“Graceland will welcome fans from across the country and around the globe for the annual celebration of Elvis Presley’s Jan. 8 birthday this week,” writes Bob Mehr in Monday’s (1/2) Memphis Commercial Appeal. “Marking what would have been Presley’s 88th birthday, Graceland will host a variety of events to celebrate the rock ‘n’ roll icon, including the annual Elvis Birthday Proclamation Ceremony, a Memphis Symphony Orchestra concert with Terry Mike Jeffrey, and a Conversations on Elvis panel, plus several shows and screenings commemorating the 50th anniversary of the King’s ‘Aloha from Hawaii’ concert.” On Jan. 6, “the Memphis Symphony Orchestra will present its annual Elvis Pops Concert live at the Graceland Soundstage. Musician and singer Terry Mike Jeffrey and his band will join members of the MSO for a special birthday salute featuring music from all eras of Elvis’ career.”
