Navarone Garibaldi might not be a Presley by blood but he apparently has the music genes running in him. In 2013, Garibaldi formed Them Guns, a synth-rock band, where he serves as the lead vocalist and guitarist. According to the band’s website, Garibaldi and Kyle Hamood, the group’s keyboardist and drummer, met as kids in Hawaii back in the ’80s. After a lifelong friendship, the pair teamed up with Chuck Holiday who serves as the band’s bass player.
Successful in their own right, Them Guns have performed at some major concert venues including California’s The Viper Room and Troubadour. And if you were wondering if Elvis Presley is one of their major musical influences, the answer is no. When asked who his musical influences were, Garibaldi revealed in an interview with Music News, “Oh man all sorts. Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Kings of Leon to the likes of the Chemical Brothers.”

And even though he is no Elvis, Priscilla Presley is still just as proud of her son’s decision to make music. “My son Navarone is his own person. He wants to do his own thing and I’m really proud of him,” she said in a 2012 interview with The Guardian. Most importantly though, Priscilla is proud of how much Garibaldi seeks to make a name for himself — without the Presley name. “He’s not riding on Elvis and he’s not riding on Lisa. We have never been, ‘Elvis this, Elvis that,’ to our children because otherwise, you’re building up something that is almost unreachable for them.”
