about

Who We Are

TROUBLE is an established Elvis Tribute Band that has an absolute passion and love for the music of Elvis and performing live. With the authenticity and Professional performance this is a must for the true Elvis fan who would like to relive a few of the magic moments of "The Kings" Career. Whether it's the early years, the 68 Comeback Special or the Career defining Las Vegas era, there is something here for everyone.

Rob Hodges

Keyboards/BV's

Rob is a fantastic addition to the band with a talent for playing with feel and passion. This comes across from the moment the show starts and he stands for the performance and becoming part of the entertainment.

Rob has been playing keyboards and singing in function bands for many years and playing everything from the Beatles, Soul and Motown, through to Pink Floyd.

From an early age, Rob was an Elvis fan always wanting to be one of the Jordanaires. His family had an LP box set of all the Elvis classics which was on almost continuous play and heavily influenced not only his passion for music but also his love for Elvis. Rob and his brothers would pretend to be the Jordanaires, singing the harmonies that are so important to the Elvis sound and progressing into the Stamp Quartet in the later years. Due to a fortunate opportunity and having worked with Darren Boyce before, Rob jumped at the chance to join Elvis In Trouble knowing that the professionalism and passion would take him on a fantastic journey. He has enjoyed every minute of it so far, delivering the authentic keyboard sounds of the Elvis sound, learning track’s that have their own intricacies as well as reproducing the vocal harmonies that he learned years ago.

We are proud to have Rob on board as he raises the bar to enhance the performance and plays all the tracks from memory adding spontaneity to our performance.

Darren Boyce

Vocals

A truly talented performer, with vocals to match and that unmistakable Elvis tone. His sound, moves and authentic costumes (made by none other than B & K Enterprises and The Lansky Brothers, tailors to the King), are guaranteed to transport you back to some of the greatest moments of the king’s career…and he can carry the leathers off too!

Darren gained some fantastic reviews in a very short time for his performances as Elvis in TROUBLE with comments comparing his voice, moves and demeanour as a true tribute to The King. However, having been centre stage in the corporate world for the last 21 years and delivering to large audiences, it’s not surprising that the passion & drive transcends his performance in TROUBLE.

His love of all things Elvis was due to his Grandmother, who was smitten like many in their time, by the voice and the good looks of “The King”. From this love Darren heard many releases of Elvis, and at the age of seven performed Blue Suede Shoes for his Nan, including all the huh-huh’s and lip curls.

Tony Wells

Drums

Tony started his fascination with drums at a very early age in the mid to late sixties, largely due to the fact that his mother was a Beatles fan and would constantly play their records.
Tony quickly formed his first band with some school friends and played a handful of gigs at youth centres and school halls.

During the eighties, Tony’s love of playing also found him helping out other bands short of drummers, due to a serious amount of talent and the extreme ease with which he works with other musicians. Tony has recorded for a variety of well known artists.

Tony was introduced to Max Hunt, who several years later was to give Tony the call with an invitation to join TANTALUS. Tony temporarily left Tantalus, at least as a full time member in April 2004 after performing a reliable, steady and solid roll in the band throughout the most stable period in the band’s existence but rejoined again less than a year later. Tony has a wide taste in music including The Beatles, Deep Purple – Ian Paice, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Sting and Elvis Presley. Tony is “Elvis In Troubles” drummer after recently being auditioned and showing the showmanship, cheekiness and ability to provide the right feel for the different era’s that the band covers as well as fitting in with the team.
