Dec 4th, 2025
7:00pm - 7:00pm
Where
215 E. Main St.CharlottesvilleVA

Thursday, December 4th at 7PM at the Paramount Theater

Elvis is in the building this Christmas as Matt Lewis takes the stage along with Charlottesville’s own Big Ray and the Kool Kats.

Featuring holiday hits from the King of Rock and Roll, performed by the tribute artist USA Today called “The Best in Las Vegas!”

From “Blue Christmas,” to “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Santa, Bring My Baby Back to Me,” and many more, your holiday spirits will be lifted. You’ll also enjoy the classic Elvis repertoire with songs from his rockabilly era, the 1968 Comeback Special, and of course the Las Vegas years.

Matt Lewis has traveled the world with his Tribute to the King, and when on the East Coast and during this Christmas tour, you’ll see him backed by the 12-piece Long Live the King Orchestra, also known as Charlottesville’s very own Big Ray and the Kool Kats. Big Ray and the Kool Kats will also open the show with some holiday favorites and maybe even a little Motown.
