About Jody
Four decades of honoring The King — one unforgettable performance at a time.
Born to Honor The King
Jody McKewen was born and raised in Elvis's own Northeast Mississippi — and the connection runs deeper than geography. Jody's grandmother and Elvis's mother, Gladys, were cousins, meaning he was quite literally raised around all things Elvis.
In the summer of 1975, when Jody was just 11 years old, his grandmother and Elvis were both patients at Baptist Hospital in Memphis at the same time. Jody was invited up to Elvis's floor — and that evening, as Elvis was being discharged, he took Jody and his father to a Memphis Southmen football game. It's a memory that has never left him.
Elvis's stepbrother Ricky Stanley became like a brother to Jody, and that bond has endured across generations — Ricky's daughter still calls him Uncle Jody to this day.
For over 20 years, Jody performed throughout the Mid-South before relocating to Florida in 2004. The voice, it seems, runs in the family. Today he performs throughout Florida and across the United States, bringing the full power of Elvis's legacy to every stage he graces.
What Sets Jody Apart
The Voice
A natural baritone with the range and soul to deliver every era of Elvis — from the raw energy of "Hound Dog" to the emotional depth of "If I Can Dream."
The Moves
The hip swivel, the knee drop, the pointed finger — Jody studied every nuance of Elvis's physicality and brings it to life with the spontaneity of a live performance.
The Experience
Authentic costumes, professional lighting, and a showmanship that commands every room. From intimate venues to grand theaters, Jody delivers a complete Vegas-caliber production.
"Jody is more like Elvis than anyone I've ever been around. Being with Jody is just like being with Elvis...without the money."
A Lifetime of Elvis
Long before the jeweled jumpsuits and sold-out theaters, a young Jody McKewen stepped onto a high school stage in Northeast Mississippi and discovered his gift. Growing up in Elvis country — with a family tie to The King himself — performing Elvis wasn't just entertainment. It was personal.
Decades later, that same passion drives every performance. The costumes have gotten more elaborate, the productions more polished — but the heart behind it all remains exactly the same. As Jody likes to say: the voice runs in the family.
