By Jim Watson

From the looks of it, you might assume you were in Hollywood, Los Angeles or New York. Everywhere you turn you see celebrities. Elvis, Kenney, Cher, Garth… or is it? Take a closer look and you'll find that this all-star cast is filled with some very convincing impersonators who light up the stage at Memories Theater.

Some of the best-loved musical talent in the rock and country genres comes to life right before your eyes at this Pigeon Forge venue. The looks, the voice, the mannerisms… it's a complete package that will leave you thoroughly impressed and entertained.

Ladies and Gentlemen… Elvis is in the Building

Lou Vuto has been praised for his performance as the king of rock and roll in the Elvis & Friends tour. From his trademark sideburns to the classic, tight leather pantsuits and gold chains; Lou will have you singing along to your favorite Elvis tunes of yesteryear including "Hound dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Suspicious Minds," "Don't Be Cruel" and far too many others to name.

Rockin' Rod Stewart

Dave Battah gives a command performance as Rod Stewart that will have you standing in the aisles. His wild hair and raspy voice are a perfect imitation of the legend himself. Prepare to be transported back in time with classic hits like "Maggie May," "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," "Baby Jane," "Infatuation" and other top 10 hits.

Country Legend Tim McGraw

A dead ringer for Tim McGraw in looks and voice, Todd Sullivan gives a power-packed performance of this superstar's best hits. With his strong, but mellow voice, you'll hear "Tim" belt out favorites including "Live Like You Were Dying," "Let's Make Love," and "I Like It, I Love It."

Multi-Talented Dolly Parton

When you're performing near the home town of a country music legend, you'd better be good! And she is! This Dolly Parton impersonator gives a spot-on performance as the full-figured, multi-talented country star. From her hallmark figure to songs that have made her a household name like "9 to 5" and "Hard Candy Christmas," you'll swear Dolly is standing right in front of you.

Smiling Ray Charles

With an amazing capacity to crank out hit after hit, Ray Charles was absolutely a foundational force when it came to rock and roll, blues and other musical genres. His far-reaching talent can be heard, seen and felt once again as Pete Peterkin delivers a crowd-pleasing performance as the man himself - Ray Charles. When Pete cracks that one-of-a-kind smile and lays his fingers to the keyboard, you'll relive the essence of the late, great piano player once again.
