Immediatek's DiscLive Signs Seven Week Recording Deal

Elvis Tribute Artist Kraig Parker Will Release Instant DVDs

RICHARDSON, Texas (EWORLDWIRE) Oct 13, 2005

He looks like Elvis. He moves like Elvis. And he sings like Elvis. And DiscLive, Immediatek's live recording unit, will capture Elvis tribute artist Kraig Parker's performances on its new instant DVD product.

This new technology will deliver the keepsake of a lifetime to the fans who watch Parker perform with the legendary Stamps Quartet at the State Fair of Texas on Oct. 16, 2005, and then for over 80 November and December performances in Branson, Mo.

DiscLive has partnered with Michael Jenkins, executive producer of Parker's major shows, and NextShow Entertainment of Fort Worth, Texas to produce the DVDs. Jenkins'website, nextshowentertainment.com, features streaming video of many of Parker's performances.

Parker has truly mastered the mannerisms and sounds of the King. He is the only tribute artist Loanne Parker, widow of Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, has ever seen perform. He is so good that he is managed by Charles Stone, Elvis Presley's tour producer from 1970 - 1977.

"Kraig is absolutely amazing," said Zach Bair, CEO of DiscLive and Immediatek. "Seeing him perform, I was taken aback by his talent. He is so much like the real thing that it's spooky. Fans were screaming and coming up to the stage as if he were really the King."

Bair added that the instant DVD product will be in high demand and is perfect for such a visual performance.

The limited edition DVDs will be available to purchase online prior to the performances at www.disclive.com, and on Parker's website at www.thekinglives.com. Fans can purchase the DVDs onsite after each performance.

The special concert appearance at the State Fair of Texas takes place on the Chevrolet Main Stage at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2005. The concert is free with State Fair admission.
