ELVIS AND MORE: ELVIS PRESLEY HAS BEEN A LARGE PART OF JAMIE’S PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE SINCE BASICALLY THE BEGINNING OF BOTH! JAMIE LEARNED TO SING BY LISTENING TO ELVIS RECORDS, WHICH HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON HIS OWN STYLE THAT CAN’T POSSIBLY BE MEASURED. WHILE HE HAS MOSTLY STEPPED BACK FROM DOING FULL-ON TRIBUTE SHOWS, THE BODY OF WORK IN JAMIE’S ELVIS RESUME IS SECOND TO NONE - AND WHAT HE CONTINUES TO DO IN THE ELVIS FAN-SPACE, BOTH IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE SCENES, IS EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IN IT’S SCOPE AND AMBITION! ELVIS ARCHIVAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY (EAP SOCIETY): THE EAP SOCIETY STARTED AS A PET PROJECT BY A GROUP OF ELVIS FRIENDS. LED BY JAMIE AND HIS FRIEND MARK SHAFFER, THEY WERE ABLE TO UNCOVER A NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD PERFORMANCE BY ELVIS IN MAY OF 1955 IN MERIDIAN, MS - EVENTUALLY RELEASED ON THE “A BOY FROM TUPELO” BOX SET! A DECADE LATER, THE SOCIETY WAS RESTARTED BY JAMIE AND HIS FRIEND (AND NOW CO-HOST) JOHN MICHAEL HEATH - AS BOTH A YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND A LARGER, MORE ORGANIZED GROUP. ONE SIDE PROJECT, DABBLING INTO THE NEW REALM OF “ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,” THEY USED IT TO COMPLETE A SONG ELVIS STARTED IN 1969, AND ONE ON JAMIE’S FIRST ALBUM - “POOR MAN’S GOLD,” AS A FURTHER LEARNING TOOL FOR BOTH THEMSELVES AND OTHER FANS. AS THE SOCIETY GROWS, THE TWO PLAN TO USE THE SOCIETY TO REACH NEW AND YOUNGER FANS AS WELL AS CURRENT FANS OF ALL GENERATIONS, TO ORGANIZE THE FANBASE IN BEING MORE PROACTIVE IN PRESERVING BOTH ELVIS AND MUSIC HISTORY FOR EVERYONE.
