He will be telling stories including days spent in the legendary Jungle Room recording hits and being on call for when the King wanted to get his gospel groove on.

He has produced and signed the likes of artists such as, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, Barbra Streisand and many other legendary names.

Even after hundreds of hits and over one hundred million album sales, Tony to this day still seems to be defined by his time with Elvis.

Tony will be kicking off his first photo shoot for his new iconic coffee table book in the historic Jungle Room while appearing at Elvis Week 2015.
