The six day conference "Then Sings My Soul: Elvis and the Sacred South" features performers from around the country, including Mississippi storyteller Jerry Clower, who is this year's host of the festivities, and the Stamps Quartet, who served as Elvis' back-up group in the 1970s, when the King was at the height of his career. Vernon Chadwick, director of the Elvis conference and an assistant professor of English at Ole Miss, said, "This year's conference has a much richer offering than last year. We hope that the response to this year's conference is as good as last year's." In keeping with the religious theme, a large part of the conference is devoted to gospel music.
