A trio of tribute artists will pay homage to the King of Rock and Roll at a concert in Ladner next Wednesday.
The Elvis Elvis Elvis, An American Trilogy show will take place at Genesis Theatre and will feature performances from Chris Connor, Ted Torres and Brandon Bennett.
Connor, who hails from Manchester, England, will perform as '70s era Elvis with songs like Suspicious Minds, Polk Salad Annie, Just Pretend and You've Lost that Loving Feeling.
Connor has been an Elvis tribute artist for about five years. He took it up after following advice from friends who heard him singing Elvis at karaoke bars, he says in an email to the Optimist.
He says his goal and dream was to perform an honest and respectful tribute to Elvis.
"To be doing so and gaining fans worldwide is just overwhelming," he says.
Connor sang at the Penticton Elvis Festival last June and says he's happy to be coming back to Canada to perform for the fans here.
"His style was one of a kind and had never been seen before and will never be seen again. He truly was the King of Rock and Roll."
