Elvis is in the building Saturday, Aug. 5, at 7 p.m. when Chance Tinder performs at Sound Bites Grill Sedona.
With more than 25 years of experience as an Elvis Presley tribute artist, Tinder doesn’t simply imitate or sing the songs; he acts the way Elvis did, moves the way Elvis did and adds the slender nuances of expression that only an actor can add after invested hours in studying for his role.
According to James Brown, “I knew Elvis, we were brothers, and Chance of Kentucky Rain is Elvis on that stage … I should know!”
In their salute to Elvis, Chance Tinder and Kentucky Rain, consisting of Jimmy Ray Valentine on guitar, Trace Mortimer on bass, Keith Wells on piano and Tommy Corbin on drums, recreate an Elvis concert.
Tinder knows his role well: He’s performed Elvis over 7,000 times as part of the Las Vegas celebrity look-alike production shows, Legends in Concerts & American Superstars, from 1990 to 2000, as well as Casino Arizona’s Showstoppers Live from 2000 to 2012. That’s two shows a day, six days a week, for 12 years.
Today, Tinder continues to tour both nationally and internationally with his Salute to Elvis tribute show.
More than the everyday Elvis tribute artist, he’s an accomplished actor, recreating a legendary character and is seen on stages across America, Europe and Asia.
Come to Sound Bites Grill Sedona on Aug. 5 for this dinner concert.
Sound Bites Grill is at the Hyatt Pinon Pointe Shops in Uptown.
Dinner packages for this show are available. Sound Bites Grill serves its full menu during the show.
