Southern California\u2019s long-running, annual Elvis Presley<\/a> birthday celebration is coming to the Venice West.<\/p>\n

The show, co-founded in 1986 by Southern California musicians James Intveld and Ronnie Mack, and the late Los Angeles raconteur, producer, music writer and public-access television host Art Fein, will happen 6:30-11:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8.<\/p>\n

For nearly four decades, the Elvis Birthday Bash has featured rock, country, alt-country, gospel, blues, and rockabilly artists for a night of 20+ acts, most backed by Ronnie Mack\u2019s legendary Barn Dance Band. It has also served as a launching pad for roots artists such as The Blasters, Rank and File, Lucinda Williams, The Dave and Deke Combo, Rosie Flores and James Intveld.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event hosted by Deke Dickerson, Dave Stuckey and Grey DeLisle, will include performances by Ronnie Mack & The Legendary Barn Dance Band (John McDuffie, Paul Marshall, Marty Rifkin, Skip Edwards & David Raven), James Intveld, Billy Vera, Lynda Kay, Carla Olson, Tom Kenny, Lil\u2019 Mo and the Dynaflos, Count Smokula, Joe Finkle, Carl Sonny Leyland, I See Hawks In L.A., Brian Hogan, Rip Masters, Justin Curtis, Alias Means, Nocona, Dylan Thomas, Rick Shea, Lisa Finnie, Groovy Rednecks, Talkin\u2019 Treason and Danette Christine.<\/p>\n

Lisa Finnie, producer of this year\u2019s Elvis Presley Birthday Bash, assembled the acts and said many are repeat performers who also appeared on Fein\u2019s public-access television program. Each act will perform two Elvis Presley songs.<\/p>\n

The event has been hosted at several venues throughout L.A., including The World Famous Palomino Club, The House of Blues, Club Lingerie, The Music Machine, The Avalon Hollywood, The Fonda Theatre, The Write-Off Room, and The Echo and The EchoPlex.<\/p>\n

It has traditionally been a non-profit event, supporting local charities such as the Los Angeles Mission, the Union Rescue Mission, and the Los Angeles Firemen\u2019s Relief Association. Proceeds from the 2026 event will be donated to the Alzheimer\u2019s Association in memory of Fein, who passed away in July 2025 and battled dementia.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, we chose the Los Angeles Fire Relief because of the fires, but this one is to honor Art because he was such an important driving force of the Elvis show and an important figure in Los Angeles roots music,\u201d Finnie said.\u201dMost of the performers, if not all, on the show want to honor Art Fein, as he was so supportive of their work.\u201d<\/p>\n
