Thane Dunn Biography

"International World Grand Champion Elvis recreator" (Collingwood Elvis Festival Grand Champion 2009). Thane Dunn has caused quite a stir among fans of the Late "King of Rock and Roll", Elvis Presley. He's been called the "full Elvis package", from his natural resemblance to his amazingly Elvis-like voice, he has the moves down pat but what really makes his show special is his charasmatic personality and his Presley-like sense of humour. He has the ability to make audiences feel as if they are watching the real thing live. If you never got a chance to see Elvis in concert this is as close as you'll get.

He has been able to work with Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis along with actual people who performed with Elvis in concert such as the Imperials who were with Elvis from 69-71. He has also performed with Elvis movie co-stars like Darlene Thompkins from Blue Hawaii to Cynthia Pepper from the movie Kissin Cousins. One of his proudest accomplishments was getting the thumbs up from Ronnie Tutt who played drums for Elvis on tour all through the seventies. He has filled casinos and theatres across North America.

All of Thane's costumes are exact replicas. From the jumpsuits made famous by Presley in the early seventies, Thane's collection includes most of these suits featured in the movie "Elvis On Tour" and of course the infamous "Aloha from Hawaii American Eagle" suit. Thane also wears the black leather suit worn by Elvis in the '68 Comeback special which is an identical replica of the original. All of his stage jewelry and boots are the same as Elvis wore in 1972. There are no wigs or glued-on sideburns, it's all real and even the scarves that are passed to the ladies are the same. No expense has been spared to give you the full "Elvis Experience".

Thane is backed by the eight piece Cadillac Kings. They have the Elvis TCB band's sound down pat and combined with Thane's voice you would swear it was the real thing. They are a hard-workingband and you'll hear every little note that Presley's band played onstage. There is even a man who gives Thane his water, catches the guitar, passes Thane teddy bears and puts scarves around his neck for the ladies; he stays very busy during the show.

This is a show for the whole family and if you only ever see one Tribute to Elvis make sure its this one. You will believe Elvis never left the building.

Thane & his Cadillac Kings travel worldwide and are available for casinos, theatres, arena shows, and corporate events. Contact Thane at: info@thanedunn.net
