The Gospel Show will present a soulful tribute to Elvis's spiritual roots and his lifelong connection to his twin brother, Jesse, who died at birth. This performance, held in the Historic Mausoleum, will feature the harmonious voices of The Orange County Threshold Choir, known for their a cappella lullaby-like songs performed at the bedsides of those in tender stages of life along with rhythm and blues, jazz-soul singers Charlotte Pope and Tomi Wright.
