American Crew in association with Berklee College of Music’s Institute is sponsoring a celebration of Elvis Presely for Creative Entrepreneurship through a series of educational events.
Kicking off on April 3rd for a week at the Berklee campus in Boston, the event series dubbed as Music Makes an Artist, Style Makes an Icon, has been designed to celebrate Elvis’ musical and cultural legacy and his iconic approach to artistry.
The deal, which was brokered by Authentic Brands Group (ABG), will feature panels of experts on Presley and guest speakers, as well as events inspired by his music, personal style and legacy.

The week will finish on a singers showcase that will feature vocals by Berklee’s a capella group, Pitch Slapped and ten of Berklee’s student vocalists performing classics like Hound Dog, Can’t Help Falling in Love, A Little Less Conversation and more.
