Profile

Elvis Costello, is an Irish musician, singer and songwriter. Costello is considered a new wave performer with music that is a combination of pop and rock with catchy lyrics.

He first got attention in 1977 with his album "My Aim is True" which included the hit single "Alison." His second Album, "This Years Model," featured three of his most famous songs "Pump It Up," "I Don't Want to Go Chelsea" and "Radio Radio". His best known hit is the song "Oliver's Army," which is a song from his album "Armed Forces." Elvis went on to record 19 studio albums, and he is still recording and touring.

Costello plays a Fender Guitar. In 2008, Fender issued the Elvis Costello Jazzmaster, an exact representation of the late 1960s heavily modified Fender Jazzmaster guitar that Costello used to record his first 1977 album, My Aim Is True. Its features include a post-1968 neck design, a walnut stain finish and a tremolo with easier and greater travel, essential for that "Watching the Detectives" tone, or what Costello called "that spy movie sound".

With his signature oversize glasses, and the weird suits he wears, Costello sometimes looks like an older version of Buddy Holly. Costello is married to Canadian singer Diana Krall.

Elvis Costello maintain a busy tour schedule. His tour stops include Atlantic City.
