20th “Elvis Bash”: For the 20th consecutive year, “The Elvis Birthday Bash,” a tribute show to “The King Of Rock ‘N’ Roll,” is being presented at 3 p.m. Jan. 24, State Theatre Center For The Arts, Easton. The concert pays homage to the Elvis Presley with two performers, one portraying the young teen heartthrob and and the other presenting Elvis during his Las Vegas performance years. Scot Bruce recreates Elvis’ early years. Mike Albert, above, assays the 1970s’ Elvis. From “Hound Dog” to “Suspicious Minds” and just about every Elvis hit in between, it’s a tribute to the King that will leave you screaming for more. CNN has called Scot Bruce “the closest they can get to Elvis in the flesh.” Oprah Winfrey has said, “Mike Albert not only looks like Elvis, he can belt it out.” When these two men take the stage, perhaps for one night only, Elvis has certainly not left the building. Tickets: State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton St., Easton; statetheatre.org, 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132

Hit them up: The Hitmen, above, bring their concert tour to the State Theatre Center For The Arts, Easton, at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 23. The group is led by Gerry Polci and Lee Shapiro, who toured with Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, played on hit albums with them, and sang lead vocals. When they met in 1973, along with Valli and songwriter-producer Bob Gaudio, Polci and Shapiro helped to successfully transition the Four Seasons’ sound from 1960s’ doo-wop to 1970s’ pop with mega-hit songs like “Who Loves You” and “Oh What A Night.” Spurred by the success of “Jersey Boys,” the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical based on the Four Seasons, the two former Four Seasons brought together an A-list group of musicians. The Hitmen perform songs from the Four Seasons songbook, plus other megahits that members of the group played on and performed. Tickets: State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton St., Easton; statetheatre.org, 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132
