Grammy Award winning composer Mike Stoller will participate in a 35th Anniversary Tribute event to Elvis Presley, to be held at American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre on Sunday, August 19.

Stoller is best known as one half of the legendary songwriting team of Leiber and Stoller. He received a Drama Desk nomination for his music for the Broadway musical The People in the Picture, and his songs have been featured in numerous Broadway shows including Million Dollar Quartet, All Shook Up, and Smokey Joe’s Café.

The tribute event will begin with Stoller signing copies of his book, Hound Dog: The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography, at 1pm. A screening of the Presley-starrer Jailhouse Rock — featuring numerous Leiber & Stoller tunes — will begin at 2pm, followed by a Q&A with Stoller.
