This 7th installment of the annual San Francisco birthday party for David Bowie and Elvis Presley will be like none other that has preceded. The 2016 event was held on January 9, one day after the new Bowie album “Blackstar” was released on his birthday. The world was stunned the following day on January 10, 2016 to learn of Bowie’s death. The months since then have seen many Bowie tributes and events. The annual Bowie & Elvis Birthday Bash returns, and uniquely among other events, presents the music, image and legend of these two iconic artists who each changed popular culture as none other, and now are both no longer with us.

SPECIAL FEATURES AT THIS YEAR’S EVENT

* Live performance with surprise special guest

* Contest for “best dressed” – any look that is inspired by any elements of the lives of Elvis Presley or David Bowie. Prizes for best dressed male and female.

* Arrive early for rarities – the first half hour will feature rare tracks and visuals from the two legends

* Birthday cake!

* New drink specials conjured up by the Castle crew

David Bowie and Elvis Presley…sharing a birthdate and a record label (RCA Records & Tapes), these rebel, rebels caused a lot of pelvises to rock and roll. Here's a chance for fans of either or both acts to celebrate their music, personas, and lives.

Dress up! Comeback in leather, come out in lame’. Fashion? Turn to the left. Rockabilly to glam and beyond… put on your red shoes and Let’s Dance in Blue Suede Shoes, Blue Hawaiians or Blue Jeans. Jumpsuits to spacesuits. The papers want to know whose shirts you wear!

Well it's a one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma'am! Thank you very much. To be played at maximum volume.
