Our Elvis, Brian Lee Howell, and his wife arrived early to set up. The performance was a surprise, and they cooperated fully. His performance was wonderful; he took a request at the end and gave the dedication to our friend as requested. He stayed for photos with all of us and was very polite and patient with all of our photo requests. Several were happy to buy CDs from him. We had lots of people watching from the balcony and other parts of the motel. It was a fun performance - everything we hoped for.

Brian is a true performer!! He was very entertaining and got everyone involved in the act. I loved the audience being "whooo-ed" by him and how he simply made everyone feel like they were having a good time! I was very pleased and hope to have another need for either "Bringing it Back" productions and Brian Lee Howell or gigmasters again!!!

Haley & Brian Lee Howell were excellent to work with! Brian is extremely talented and did his 50's show for a state conference that I was hosting. Even beyond his talent, I was most impressed with the professionalism of the booking, etc. Many thanks to Brian & Haley!

Great entertainer and wonderful folks to work with! An incredible voice and a polished performer, Brian really connected with all ages of folks in our group, and made terrific use of the entire space. His website is helpful, and manager, Haley, offered us some great ideas. Her follow-through was first rate, and from the time we booked until the night of the performance, I felt we were in good hands. The photo session afterwards was a bit hit, yet was low-keyed. Brian’s ability to take requests delighted our group, and really impressed me! These folks know their craft and know how to work with customers. It was great fun! Highest recommendation!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 25, 2010•From Germantown, TN
The only way to describe "Bringing it Back" productions is perfect all around. Very professional in all ways. Since it was a surprise for a bride and groom it needed to be timed just right. Elvis entered exactly on time, made the exact speech I requested, sang the songs requested and "left the building" at exactly the time planned. If I ever needed an Elvis in Memphis or any other city I would not consider calling anyone but "Bringing it Back" productions.

Haley was very prompt with replying to my emails. She was so easy to work with. Brian did a great job at the wedding, and my daughter was thrilled and so surprised. The guests loved the show. It added such a fun aspect to the reception. I highly recommend Brian Howell.

Brian Lee Howell was a FANTASTIC entertainer! Our group absolutely loved him. He was energetic, professional, talented and cute. His wife, as manager, was equally nice. Both were eager to help and please. After the show, Brian stayed and signed autographs, posed with our people with photos, and everyone was charmed. He was a great entertainer!

Trade Show•Reviewed on February 26, 2010•From Branson, MO
Brian and Haley are THE nicest people. They are truly wonderful to work with. They performed at a reasonable rate and delivered exactly what was promised. The costumes were great, Brian's look was wonderful and his impersonation was very good. I have absolutely no complaints, but I do wish Brian was a better speaker. I'd asked him to read a little "thank you presentation" to a group of our guests, which he graciously did. If you're looking for an Elvis impersonator to talk and interact like Elvis, Brian' not your guy. However, if you're looking for someone to sing and look like Elvis with energy and great manners, then Brian is your guy!

I will your numbers ran to 10, because you certainly deserve them across the board. First, my hat has to fly off to Haley, who was professional in so many ways without losing a gentle human touch. Next, Brian Howell made a family more than smile, he made them unbelievabley happy. And , from their words, HE'S FANTASTIC !!

Recap from my mom:
The three walked in and we had Elvis positioned ready to blast the music which brought everyone into kitchen area. He was wonderful and had everyone clapping and smiling. He did your message beautifully and Dad love it. He stayed for many pics and I will send them to you. Jim loved it and everyone here did too. Hampton was here and got to see elvis. Hampton loved having Patton and loved Elvis. He thinks Uncle George had a great party. It was fun and George loved it!!! We love you and Scott and so. Missed you being here--Elvis was a great messenger!!Love Mom

Sweet 16 Party•Reviewed on October 22, 2009•From Southaven, MS
My experience with "Elvis" (aka Brian) and his wife Haley was awesome! I booked them for a surprise sweet 16 birthday party for my daughter, and they were accomodating in every way. I kept in touch with Haley frequently via e-mail ,and she and Brian were great about keeping the whole thing secret until the last minute. Haley answered all of my questions promptly...a true professional on all levels. "Elvis" is quite a talented performer, and he spent extra time with the kids answering questions and taking pictures to everyone's delight. I would definitely book him again in the future.

The attendees were really tickled and thrilled that "Elvis" was in the house! Brian was very interactive with the audience which was really a treat for these people. We had folks here from France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Japan, Spain, South Korea, Canada and the U.S. I believe several of them took the time to visit Graceland later in the weekend after the performance. Brian's performance was great PR for Memphis. We would definitely hire him again in a similar situation. He performed for just the right amount of time.

Baby Shower•Reviewed on August 23, 2009•From Memphis, TN
"Bringing It Back" Productions was such a pleasure to work with. They were extremely accommodating and made the whole experience so easy with great communication and ideas. Both Haley and Brian Lee Howell were very friendly and gracious people to work with. Brian is very talented with a great voice and acute knowledge of everything "Elvis." All of the guests at our shower were very impressed with the whole package from his singing and wardrobe to his personality. I would highly recommend Bringing It Back to anyone in need of a "true Elvis" and a fun time. Many thanks to Haley and Brian for making the whole experience exactly as I had envisioned.

Brian was absolutely awesome!!! I couldn't have asked for anything better. We pulled the surprise off without a hitch. It was definitely worth the money. All of us couldn't stop talking about it for days. Brenda said it was her best birthday ever. You can tell that Brian really enjoys his job. "Bringing It Back" Productions kept in contact with me from the time I booked the gig until the day he performed. They were quick to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an Elvis! The whole thing was perfect. As Elvis would say "Thank You Very Much".
