Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then they can bring the curtain down…
I was standing there, the stage was bare, and emptiness was all around…just like the lines from "Are You Lonesome Tonight”. But no need to bring the curtain down yet, because at the 2024 Niagara Falls Elvis Fest “they” came back, and in a big way!
Kudos to the stage sound and light crew for the fabulous backdrops that created a Vegas feel to ETA headliner performances. The photos in this post were taken from Level 4 and Level 2 and are not too bad considering they were taken with my iPhone. The bright overhead and side stage lights, and the fog, can create problems if you want clear, crisp photos (just compare the empty stage photo to the performance photos to see what I mean). To keep the integrity of the photos, I have kept the size small. If you want to zoom in, just click on the photo. Descriptions are included in hover mode. Cheers! C.M.
Headliner Cote Deonath gave a stellar performance at the 2024 NFEF.
Headliner Ted Torres Martin gave a fantastic performance at the 2024 NFEF. To the delight of fans, Ted graciously allowed lots of time for photo opts.
Fan favourite on and off the stage, Matt Cage, gave an awesome performance at the Sunday evening show.
Headliner Cote Deonath’s brilliant performance and the Las Vegas style backdrop heightened the excitement.
During his thank you speech to the audience, organizer Tony Busseri revealed that the weekend headliners said they would be back next year, and every year, as long as the Niagara Falls Elvis Festival is running. This is music to the ears of all ETA fans.
It would not be a proper post if I did not include Headliner Dean Z. I have several photos of Dean at the 2024 NFEF, but none of him on stage this year, so I am including two from his 2022 appearance. Perpetual fan favourite, Mr. Nice Guy to everyone, and the ultimate performer, Dean has performed several times in NF shows and other events in Canada.
