ELVIS, the King of Rock n Roll, returns to the stage once again, this time at the Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo, this and next weekend.
The spirit of Elvis is captured in this new Rocktainment Production, Elvis Now & Forever, featuring Doug Weich as Elvis and accompanied on stage by his seven-piece band, MSG.
The band includes, Wade Wight on keyboards and backing vocals, Nicole Couto-Leite on piano and backing vocals, Jill Murray Brown on bass, Graham Buckle on drums, Andy Turrell as lead guitarist, Tammy Saville and Marion Loudon as female vocals and John Skuy on acoustic guitar, perc and backing vocals.
Based in Ballito, on the North Coast of KZN, Doug Weich realised his calling to be an Elvis Tribute Artist, taking inspiration from Elvis vinyl LP records at a very young age. Climbing through the ranks as an ETA, Doug has certainly cemented his place as one of South Africa’s top Elvis impersonators. He has performed around South Africa and at Rhumbelow over the last two years with his shows namely, Walking in Memphis and Elvis through the Ages. With his voice, moves, outfits and charisma, Doug’s shows are a must see.
Go along for a night to remember, filled with music and memories from yester year, re-live the Vegas Years in the early 70s and pay tribute to the King in remembrance of his passing 37 years ago on 16 August 1977.
Show dates are Friday 29 and Saturday 30 August at 8pm and Sunday 31 August at 6.30pm, and again the following weekend on Friday 5 September and Saturday 6 September at 8am, and at 2pm and 6.30pm on Sunday 7 September. The venues open 90 minutes before show for a picnic dinner. Take your own food picnic basket. Braais will be available should you wish to cook some meat.
