  SPECIAL GUEST AND JUDGE 1

We have a very special lady joining us for the entire festival, all the way from Hollywood we are delighted to welcome actress, model, stunt woman and former girlfriend of Elvis Presley, the beautiful Mindi Miller.

Mindi first met Elvis in March 1975, what ensued was a relationship which can only be described as life changing in every way. Elvis asked her to cancel her planned move to Europe and stay and be his girlfriend and travel and join him on tour - she accepted !!!!

Mindi will happily tell all of the fans about her experiences with Elvis and is very excited to be coming to the UK to meet you all. Mindi has also kindly agreed to help judge our contest, we cannot wait to see her at Harbor Lights 2019 xxx

MC, BRITISH HEADLINERS AND BAND 

Our Event will be compered by experienced world class MC Mike Nova and will also showcase rising British stars Emilio Santoro and Tommy Holland. Tommy has recently completed a highly successful season with "Legends" in Blackpool and in November 2017 appeared in the Shawn Klush world tour, The 2017 King of Britain winner is an incredible signing for the festival and we are delighted to bring him to you. Emilio Santoro picked up the 'Gold Lame' award at the Porthcawl Elvis Festival in 2017, an award previously won by Ben Thompson. Emilio is tipped by many as a future global star and we are so proud to put him on the big stage, he has some very special shows lined up. Providing the music for Harbor Lights will be Juan Lozano and the Graceland band featuring Mills and Boone, a long established combination with world class musicians throughout the band, a recipe for success we are sure you will enjoy.

AMERICAN HEADLINERS 1 &2...TRAVIS & TAYLOR

Recently added to our schedule are American superstar ETA's Travis Powell and Taylor Rodriguez, both these guys have placed top 5 in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest in Memphis Tennesse, Travis in 2014 and 2016 and Taylor in 2017 which puts these guys officially amongst the worlds best. We are honoured and priviliged to add these 2 incredible performers to our schedule and they are very excited to be coming to the UK 

 AMERICAN HEADLINER 3...JAY DUPUIS

The 3rd and final part of our American Trilogy has unquestionable pedigree, in 2013 he was grand champion at the Tupelo Elvis Festival, a special honour indeed in the town where Elvis was born. In 2014 he achieved what many ETAs dream of, he managed to reach the very top of the mountain and was recognised by Elvis Presley Enterprises as the Worlds Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist. He has subsequently starred in many Elvis related shows and festivals and is well known by Elvis fans for his incredible attention to detail and outstanding vocals and look.

Jay has said he cannot wait to be with us as a headliner at Harbor Lights 2019 and we feel the UK fans are in for a real treat
