Elvis Cantú

Elvis Cantú is a Wild Records recording artist that hails from the great state of Texas and plays a traditional style of wild Rockabilly that always gets people moving and shaking. The instrumentation consists of electric guitar, upright bass, and drums, and when these guys hit the stage, the energy that follows quickly fills the room with light hearts and dancing feet. A night with Elvis will most assuredly be a night that you will never forget.  

He rocks the house every single time! Sactown Swings loves Elvis Cantú. He plays fun, danceable tunes that always keep us on the floor.
