Hiring the right performers for a gay pride festival, LGBT wedding or other special event is an integral component towards creating a thoughtful and meaningful experience for your guests. There are many reasons to hire an Elton tribute artist for your LGBT events – and even more compelling reasons to hire Crocodile Rockstar for your LGBT event:

  • Elton John is a musical icon and has become an exemplary LGBT leader. In addition to being a long-time out and visible gay celebrity (publicly out since 1976), he’s been an outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ community fighting stigma and being n an outspoken activist that inspires people from all walks of life. For example, The Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised over $600 million with the goal to end AIDS for all, focusing on hard-hit and vulnerable communities all around the world. 

This aspect of Elton John’s contributions to the LGBT community makes hiring an Elton tribute artist for your LGBT event a meaningful choice.

Importantly, Crocodile Rockstar Elton artist Beazley Phillips is an LGBT artist who gives back to his community. Beazley performed at the Gay Games (at Wrigley Field) in 2006; he and his husband raise money for LGBT nonprofits like the Center on Halsted and TPAN; performing for LGBT politicians, marching with the LGBT Hall of Fame in the Chicago Pride Parade, and being an active part of the LGBT community.  

Choosing an artist who is an out, visible part of the community, shows you care enough to hire a performer for your LGBT event. Your guests will appreciate this important aspect.
 
  • Beazley creates the looks for his costumes himself, starting with thorough research of Elton’s originals, finding obscure videos and images that showcase different aspects of each costume. Once he’s chosen a costume, he often spends months planning, sewing, and constructing each costume. A self-taught costume maker, he spends hours learning techniques like working with feathers, worbla thermoplastics, craft foam, hand-dyeing sunglass lenses and customizing shoes. Some costumes have taken over 400 hours to create. The costumes are works of art and visually spectacular, which makes his Elton visual experience something different than many others.

Here are a few examples of his costumes next to Elton’s originals (and see more costumes here):
  • Elton’s music crosses age barriers and is another compelling reason to have Crocodile Rockstar at your event. People of all ages love Elton songs! From I Guess That’s Why They Call it The Blues to The Lion King, Elton’s repertoire spans over 5 decades, making him one of the best selling musicians of all time. People love to sing along and dance to Elton’s songs because they are recognizable and relatable. 
  • Lastly, Crocodile Rockstar is appropriate for all ages and the team works hard to make each appearance appropriate for the audience. Crocodile Rockstar played at Lurie’s Cancer Center for Children, which brought joy to many young patients as well as their care providers. ​
