Gino Monopoli is simply one of the best Elvis tributes in the world. It might be easy to write Gino Monopoli off as just another Elvis wannabe, until you meet him and see him perform his “Elvis! Elvis!” show. It’s not the costumes, hairstyle or moves that make his show so good. And it’s not the voice, the music, or the facial expressions that take you back to 1956. It’s his attitude, body language and interaction with the audience, especially up-close, with his cordless microphone, where he likes to be. That’s when your brain will try to convince you that Elvis is in the room and it’s not 1977 yet. Gino Monopoli has been called a “superstar tribute artist” because he takes the tribute concept to a whole new level, a level far out of reach of the thousands of “impersonators” out there. For every minute of every show, he is Elvis, capturing the look, sound and animal magnetism of the world’s most recognizable celebrity and communicating with his audience as only a true world-class entertainer can. His efforts have paid off handsomely, with more than a year of advance bookings across Canada and the U.S. The Toronto-based artist calls it “a privilege and an honour” to bring what has been termed “the essence of Elvis” to his audiences. His tireless efforts to make each performance better than the last pays homage to “the King of Rock’n’Roll”. The band is hot, the songs are great and when Gino Monopoli hits the stage, Elvis is there too, if only in spirit. Gino has previously performed at the Bandshell in 2012. |
