Don't let the name "A Tribute To Conway Twitty" fool you! Yes! His tribute to Conway Twitty is everything you would expect it to be! However, there is a lot more to Travis James than meets the eye! He does a "Las Vegas-style" performance in a small, but pleasant setting. It's what makes this Pigeon Forge show different from any others. Because Travis James is an Impersonator, the second half of the show is really impressive! He sings an array of top music hits made famous by musicians John Conlee, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr., Hank Williams Jr., and John Anderson. Songs include Mega-Hits like "Rose-Colored Glasses," "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Swingin" and more! And though he uses his voice to sound incredibly like other people, he has a beautiful voice of his own. During an honorable salute to our veterans, those who have served in our military are recognized before he does a magnificent rendition of "More Than Just A Name On The Wall, originally performed by the Statler Brothers. During a 15 minute intermission he changes clothes and comes back as Elvis Presley! And although there is an excellent Elvis impersonator, Doug Thompson, on staff at the Main Event Theater, Travis James' does an excellent job in his own right!

 Great Family Show |
Another thing that makes this show great is that while you walk into the Main Event Theater expecting a state-of-the-art show, you walk out with having made new friends and even getting to know Travis James personally! This man is very personable! He has the art of storytelling down to a "science!" He's an open book about his own life as he reveals personal stories about his his family, and unusual experiences on the road. All the while, the entire audience is doubled over with laughter! The ladies are exasperated as he moves from the stage to hold hands and sing directly to them while teasing their husbands. Next, he brings husbands and wives closer together as he calls them to dance while singing the slow, but romantic "Crazy In Love." He invites everyone in the audience to turn to those around them, say "hello," and shake hands! This is the place where the strangers you walked into the theater with become your friends!

My personal experience here is one I will remember always! I brought my 90-year-Old mother to the theater because she had been a Conway Twitty fan for years. My mom has some Dementia but it didn't stop Travis James from treating her like a "queen." During his Conway Twitty segment he was joking about the wig he was wearing. Mom, who was sitting on the second row, interrupted abruptly saying, "Why don't you pull your wig off?" With shock in his eye and a smile on his face, he replied, "I might do that later!" As he attempted to move forward with his song, my mom interrupted again saying, "Look! I'm wearing a wig!" At that moment she pulled her wig right off her head! Travis James then stopped the show and started to "split-a-gut" with laughter. The whole audience then began "to roll!" As Conway Twitty, he sang to her, and held her hand. Later, during the "couples" waltz, he danced with her. Then soon after, during the show, just as he promised, he took off his wig for my mom!! It's just who Travis James is....HE LOVES PEOPLE!!
Travis James has some very impressive credits! These include performing with the Jordanaires, and D.J. Fontanna. He's also performed opening acts for folks like Ronnie Milsap, Diamond Rio, and Vince Gill! Other achievements include interviewing with Oprah Winfrey, and releasing his own album entitled, "A Pair of 38's."
