Library hosts free Elvis tribute concert at Dover High School auditorium

Don't Be Cruel. Put on your Blue Suede Shoes, and get All Shook Up. Elvis is coming to the library.

Enjoy a free concert from one of New England’s top Elvis performers on Saturday, July 26, at 2 p.m. in the Dover High School auditorium. The concert, sponsored by the Dover Public Library, is part of the 2025 Summer Reading programming.

The concert features impersonator Rick Anthony, a dynamic entertainer who zoomed into big-time entertainment practically overnight. Born in Lawrence, MA, Anthony began paying tribute to the late Elvis Presley for audiences when he was 14 years old at a school lip-sync contest. He borrowed an Elvis-style jumpsuit, a terrible wig, and took home first place. He decided to use his own theatrical talents and studied the voice and energetic performance style of Elvis to create his own high-quality performances. Through the years, Anthony has achieved many awards and performed for audiences throughout New England, Florida (including Walt Disney World), Canada, and as far east as the Azores, Portugal.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit the library’s website at library.dover.nh.gov or call 603-516-6050.
