Artist History
Branson, Missouri's premier Elvis stylist, Jesse Garon Presley has been performing Country, R n B, Blues, and Gospel songs since he was just a little boy down in Tupelo, Mississipi. Born Clarence P. Anderson back in 1968, he started seeing visions and hearing voices at a very early age. He quickly realized that he was, in fact, the reincarnated soul of Elvis Presley's still-born twin brother, Jesse Garon, who was buried right there in Tupelo. The young Jesse decided right then and there that he was the rightful heir to the throne of Rock and Roll and devoted his life to it's calling. His "Rhinestone Memories Theater" in Branson has become even more popular than John Davidson's in recent years, and it's there he can be found when he's not on the road. Although his long-time touring band, The Chi-Town Ramblers, recently disbanded, he is back and badder than ever with his new outfit, The Percolators. |

Press Reviews
"It was like some horrible train wreck. I didn't want to watch, but I couldn't turn away"-some girl. "That boy is a warmer shade of ivory"-Brian "Table-Top" O'Reily. "Jesse Garon Presley is living proof of reincarnation!"-Shirley MacLaine
"Jesse is NO Elvis...If we are to believe what we read, then we would believe that Jesse is Branson, Missouri's leading Elvis impersonator, an that he has been singing the music of the delta since he was a child. Okay, I can buy that. My own children have been singing since they were little also. I would not, however, put them on a professional stage...the fat boy Elvis look...only works now for women over fifty-five...the band gets points for trying...though not played with a gret deal of virtuosity or skill...I would definitely think some rehearsal time, and perhaps less whiskey and beer, are in order...Bottom Line: This is disastrous and embarrassing for those of us who really do love old style rockabilly and truly do kneel at the alter of the King of Rock n Roll" - Chris K "Pro Critic Radio" - Godsofmusic.com
