Sometimes “Father” does know best – especially when it comes to creating a new entertainment genre.

His unique creativity and vision have spawned the longest-running self-produced award-winning production on two coasts, “Legends In Concert.” In Las Vegas, the history-making show is now in its 21st year at the Imperial Palace. In Atlantic City, it has been running for 19 ½ years and is currently playing at Bally’s Park Place, where it has been for the last 11 years. In addition, off springs of the show are appearing all over the globe at any given moment.
John’s accomplishments have also given way to his founding a major production company in the state of Nevada, On Stage Entertainment, Inc.

After he retired in 1994 he decided he wanted to stay in the music world that he knew and loved so he decided to create an event in Collingwood Ontario, as a tribute to Elvis and all the thousands of fans he had performed for over the 3 ½ decades, paying tribute to the man known as The King of Rock and Roll. As well as other tribute artist that he met along his musical journey.
So in 1995 he conceived, conceptualized, organized and implemented the “Canadian National Elvis Tribute and Convention”, in Collingwood Ontario the very first event of its kind in Canada and today it is the largest event of its kind in the world. He and his partner the late Jackie Currie created and organized the event in 1995 and 1996 and 1997. In the later part of 1996, they created the Winter Tribute Festival in Huntsville Ontario at the world-famous Deerhurst Resort, a beautiful 5-star resort and in 1998 he did the Elvis event in Orillia Ontario and then onto Burl’s Creek where they ran the 5th annual Canadian National Elvis Tribute and convention, Burl’s Creek is where the Rolling Stone recently performed in their only Canadian performance in 2019.
Billy continued on from there to create Classic Cars and Legendary Stars in Brampton Ontario as well as tribute events in Kingston Ontario and Fort Erie Ontario where he established the first World Tribute Artist Championships in 2003, and created many more tribute event in many other communities all for the fans and to help promote Tribute Artist in General.
