Host Peter McCully chats with Darren Lee of Langley who has won numerous awards for his tribute performances, including the 91ƵUltimate Elvis Tribute Artist91Ƶ award at the prestigious Elvis Presley Enterprises competition in Memphis, Tennessee.

Lee had a successful run in Las Vegas performing nine shows a week for 11 years as a star in the American Superstars Show, as well as a show in Maui for 4 years.

McCully asked Lee about his resemblance to Elvis, and asked if he gets strange looks now and again when out at the grocery store.

91ƵI have a normal job where I drive a truck for a restaurant supply company. If a restaurant needs a stove or an oven or napkins or dishes or whatever, I deliver it. There are days where I will have a show that night, and so I91Ƶll go to work fully on - hair and makeup and everything and it91Ƶs, Hey it91Ƶs Elvis! Another day they91Ƶll see me with a hat on my head, not shaving for a week. And then it91Ƶs, Oh my God, it91Ƶs Elvis! It goes with the territory and it91Ƶs cool.91Ƶ

Lee91Ƶs tribute to Elvis is a celebration of the music and legacy of one of the greatest entertainers of all time. His attention to detail is impeccable, from his signature jumpsuits to his trademark hip-shaking dance moves.

Lee91Ƶs fans rave about his energy and charisma on stage.

Robin Lee, Darren91Ƶs brother is also an Elvis tribute artist.

91ƵHe was left-handed when he was born, but my mother turned him right-handed. When he dances, it91Ƶs the complete opposite of me. So, we91Ƶve done a lot of shows that we call the Presley91Ƶs. It91Ƶs the two of us doing the show. We don91Ƶt say you are Jesse and I91Ƶm Elvis, but it was basically, what if Elvis91Ƶs twin brother hadn91Ƶt died at birth, would there have been two of them?91Ƶ
