Question: In 1955, Elvis Presley played his first Florida concert in Daytona Beach as a member of what band?
Answer: The Blue Moon Boys.
On his first concert visit to Florida, Elvis Presley played at the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach while on tour with Hank Snow’s Jamboree as part of the band the Blue Moon Boys. Elvis wasn’t listed on the billing for the performance when the ad initially ran. He returned to Peabody Auditorium the following year as a solo artist for a one-night-only performance.
