Host Peter McCully chats with Darren Lee of Langley who has won numerous awards for his tribute performances, including the BԪַUltimate Elvis Tribute ArtistBԪַ 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.

BԪַI 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 IBԪַll go to work fully on - hair and makeup and everything and itBԪַs, Hey itBԪַs Elvis! Another day theyBԪַll see me with a hat on my head, not shaving for a week. And then itBԪַs, Oh my God, itBԪַs Elvis! It goes with the territory and itBԪַs cool.BԪַ

LeeBԪַs 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.

LeeBԪַs fans rave about his energy and charisma on stage.

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

BԪַHe was left-handed when he was born, but my mother turned him right-handed. When he dances, itBԪַs the complete opposite of me. So, weBԪַve done a lot of shows that we call the PresleyBԪַs. ItBԪַs the two of us doing the show. We donBԪַt say you are Jesse and IBԪַm Elvis, but it was basically, what if ElvisBԪַs twin brother hadnBԪַt died at birth, would there have been two of them?BԪַ
