LAUREN ALAINA TO HELP ELVIS PRESLEY’S GRACELAND
KICK OFF THE HOLIDAY SEASON


Lauren Alaina will help Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis kick off the holiday season by “flipping the switch” for the annual lighting celebration on Friday, November 18, 2011. The kickoff to Graceland’s holiday celebration will be broadcast live on Elvis.com at 6:00 PM, CST.

The extensive display will include hundreds of blue lights along the driveway, a life-size Nativity scene, Santa and his sleigh and much more originally displayed at Graceland by Elvis and the Presley family.
Lauren Alaina, a Rossville, GA native, and the American Idol Season 10 runner up, released her debut album Wildflower and it landed at No. 2 on the Billboard’s Top Country Album chart and an impressive No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200. She became the youngest female artist to debut this high on the Billboard charts since LeAnn Rimes' debut 15 years ago and is the best-selling country female debut since 1996. Her current single “Georgia Peaches” is making its way up the country charts.
