Tribute to Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley - Wednesday, 28 January 2015
Paying tribute to two of the biggest icons of the fifties and sixties, Johnny Cash and Elvis, and celebrating Elvis’s recent 80th birthday.
Elvis impersonator and Deep velvet voiced vocalist extraordinaire Lionel Hunt salutes the King, along with Hugo Kleinhans, Megan Du Toit (as June Carter), Andrew Warneke (on double bass) and Devon Van Rooyen. A scintillating tribute in the trademark entertaining Centrestage style!
Jailhouse Rock, Blue Suede Shoes, That’s Alright Mama, Teddy Bear, Hound Dog, Don’t Be Cruel and All Shook Up are some of the early rock n roll Elvis material covered.
Johnny Cash is immortalized by evergreens such as I Walk the Line, Boy Named Sue, Ring of Fire, Get Rhythm, Folsom Prison Blues and Cocaine Blues amongst others.
Fellow longtime country and Johnny Cash fan Hugo Kleinhans acts as inspiration and musical director for the show.
