TRURO, N.S. — If there's anyone who can mimic the showmanship of the king of rock and roll, it's Thane Dunn.. Now, he's touring across Canada's East Coast with his Birthday Extravaganza tour, alongside his band the Cadillac Kings. His wife, Melly , joins him as the opening act.
"I won that contest, and then I quit my full-time job," said Dunn."I wanted to see what I could do with this."Since then, he has had international acclaim with his tribute shows, where he dons a glistening jumpsuit and performs Presley's hits to captivate audiences worldwide."I'm just happy because I can't cook you dinner, or fix your car. This is about the only thing I'm any good at," he said with a laugh.
"My favourite Elvis movie is a documentary from 1972 called Elvis on Tour," he explained."You see a lot of live concert footage. One of the guys I always loved, his name was Bill Baize - he was a part of JD Sumner and the Stamps gospel quartets. He was with Elvis from 1971 to 1976." "In this business, people sort of paint everybody with the same brush. If you said tomorrow, 'I'm going to see an Elvis impersonator,' well, somebody would assume that it's no good."
