EAS has graciously accepted an offer to, once again, perform with Legends in Concert star & good friend

Ryan Pelton, May 29th, 30th & 31 at the Potawatomi Casino Northern Lights Theater in Milwaukee, WI. 

EAS looks forward to getting back with Ryan and performing shows throughout the summer.

Visit www.ryanpelton.com for more information about this incredible ETA & Entertainer.

EAS wants to personally thank Ryan & Rhonda Wood, Ace Crye and the entire staff of the E.P. Expo in Yuma, AZ. It was an incredible, massively

successful weekend and we all had a BLAST.  70 degree weather helps too! Missing our connection in Los Angeles and almost being diverted to Milwaukee due to a snow storm

in Chicago was the only negative thing about the weekend. But they had grilled cheese at the Mexican Restaurant that sponsored the event....so I was happy. Life is good.

EAS also wants to thank Bob West who performed two fantastic, energy filled shows and had the house rockin'. It was like old times backing a long time, good friend.

Bob was pleasantly surprised at the new, full sound of the band. EAS looks forward to working with Bob in the summer of 2008!

Lastly, we would like to thank Dean Z, who also performed a great show Saturday night. It was great seeing Dean and performing with him again.

All of the headliners and contestants were class acts and each one contributed to the overwhelming success of the second E.P. Expo.

Plans are already in the work for E.P. Expo 2009 in February 2009.

EAS has officially signed on to once again be the official band of the incredibly successful Windsor Elvis Fest in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

EAS looks forward to the 2008 event to see how the festival organizers top themselves this year!

Here is their official press release:

ExSpence Account Showband returns to Windsor in 2008!
Windsor Elvis Fest is thrilled to confirm that the #1 rated Elvis tribute band in the world is returning to Windsor for the 3rd year in a row.

Here’s what band leader Jason Parks has to say about us…..”Every aspect of this festival was incredible and it seemed like every other day

something new was coming up that helped take the festival to the next level. We anticipate 2008 being even more successful.”

The ExSpence Account Showband (EAS) was selected as the official tribute band accompanying the finalists in the 2007 Ultimate Elvis Tribute

Artist contest finals with Graceland / E.P.E. This talented group of musicians and vocalists have the ability with their musicality and timing to

make it seem like they have been playing for any Elvis Tribute Artist (ETA) for years. ETA’s and audiences alike just love them!

EAS would like to welcome the new permanent additions to the EAS family.

Rick Crenshaw and Donita Crenshaw officially joined the group in September, 2007.

Rick takes over the bass guitar duties while adding his vocal and his wife Donita adds to the female vocal team.

This new sound has propelled EAS to a higher level of vocals that is now unmatched in the industry.

EAS is officially better than it ever has been in the history of the band.
