Experience the Magic: Relive Iconic Performances Tonight

Step into a world where legends never fade—where every note resonates with nostalgia and brilliance. Join us for an unforgettable evening as Lamar Peters takes center stage to honor the music that defined generations.

From Child Prodigy to Master Performer

Growing up surrounded by melodies from icons like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and the Beatles, Lamar Peters always knew he was destined for the spotlight. Born in Astoria, Queens, Peters recalls his early days performing alongside his father, Gregg Peters, the first official Elvis Tribute Artist in New York City. By the age of nine, young Lamar had already made waves as a backup dancer in his father's shows, laying the foundation for what would become a lifelong passion.

As Peters matured, so did his ambitions. At just eighteen, he ventured out independently, crafting his unique interpretation of the legendary performer. "Even if my dad wasn’t involved in music," Peters reflects, "I believe I’d still be drawn to entertainment. There’s something about this craft that calls to me." His dedication has paid off handsomely; today, he ranks among the top Elvis Tribute Artists in the state, earning accolades and admiration wherever he performs.

A Night to Remember: When Legends Collide

One of Peters’ most anticipated performances is "Elvis Meets Sinatra," a concert co-starring Jesse Posa, a renowned Frank Sinatra impersonator. Scheduled for May 3rd at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, this event promises to transport audiences back to the golden era of music. All proceeds benefit the Westhampton Rotary Club, adding a charitable dimension to the celebration.

Peters emphasizes the significance of such events: "This isn't merely a show—it's a chance to relive cherished memories while supporting a worthy cause. Fans can expect nothing less than pure magic when Elvis and Sinatra unite under one roof." With its blend of nostalgia and philanthropy, this performance stands out as both entertaining and impactful.

The Art of Transformation

Becoming Elvis Presley requires more than memorizing lyrics or mastering dance moves. For Peters, it involves immersing himself entirely in the persona of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. "It starts mentally," he explains. "You shed your identity and embrace his—his mannerisms, voice, even his Southern charm." A thick black pompadour, authentic sideburns, and hours of meticulous preparation complete the transformation, allowing Peters to embody Presley fully during each performance.

He humorously recounts moments when people question his profession. "They ask what I do for a living, and I proudly tell them they're looking at it!" Despite the effort required, Peters finds immense joy in his work. "There’s no greater feeling than stepping onto that stage and becoming someone else entirely."

Building Connections Through Music

Collaborations with fellow tribute artists enrich Peters’ experiences, though not all partnerships prove harmonious. "Some are incredibly humble, while others genuinely believe they are the person they portray," he notes. Fortunately, his collaboration with Jesse Posa proved seamless. "We connected instantly—it felt natural." Together, they create a synergy that elevates their performances beyond mere imitation.

Peters cherishes these opportunities to interact with other performers. "Music brings people together in ways nothing else can," he says. "Whether it’s sharing stories backstage or creating magic on stage, there’s always something special about those moments."

Capturing the Essence of Nostalgia

Peters’ repertoire spans Elvis Presley's illustrious career, from rockabilly classics like "Hound Dog" and "Don’t Be Cruel" to lesser-known gems such as "Just Pretend" and "Kentucky Rain." While he enjoys performing well-loved hits, Peters holds a soft spot for rare tracks that evoke powerful emotions within listeners. "The best part of any concert isn’t necessarily the songs themselves—it’s watching the audience reconnect with memories tied to them."

When fans approach him after shows to express admiration, Peters remains humbled. "No one will ever surpass Elvis," he insists. "My goal isn’t to claim superiority but to celebrate his genius authentically." He concludes with heartfelt enthusiasm: "Every night, I get to pay homage to my idol—and that’s truly magical."
