Rory Allen
In concert with the Legendary Jordanaires
Accompanied by Victor Sawa
& The Regina Symphony Orchestra

Saskatchewan's own Rory Allen, who made music history in Regina last year with back-to-back sellouts at the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts, is thrilled to announce that the legendary Jordanaires from Nashville, Tennessee are returning to help celebrate Regina's 100 year anniversary! "We're proud that these special concerts are happening in our city during our Centennial year", said Mayor Pat Fiacco.

The Jordanaires, who backed up Elvis Presley for fourteen years, are still one of the most respected and sought after quartets in the music industry, with sold recordings with their backup vocals estimated at over 2.6 billion worldwide. "With the huge success of last year's concerts, we knew we had to bring the Jordanaires back one more time", said Rory. "What makes this event even more spectacular is that the Regina Symphony Orchestra under the direction of famed maestro, Victor Sawa, will accompany my own dynamic 13-piece band on stage this year. It is going to be breathtaking, to say the least!"

Known as a visionary with a mission to present live orchestral music to as wide an audience as possible, Victor Sawa enthusiastically agreed that the Regina Symphony Orchestra would wholeheartedly support this endeavor, stating "We are very excited and proud to be a part of these concerts".

To relive the movie and Vegas years of Elvis Presley, Rory Allen is pulling out all the stops, with a 55-member ensemble, including full costuming and stage effects - taking his show to a level not yet seen in Regina.

These historic performances will be held Friday, September 12th and Saturday, September 13th at 8:00 p.m. in the beautiful Shirley Bell Theatre, Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts in Regina. Rory Allen's CDs and cassettes, including his newest album -- For the Good Times -- will be available for sale at the concert.
