s 1 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, September 11,1991 9 Arts & Entertainment Don't Step on My Blue Suede Shoes Elvis Presley Comes Back to Life During Performance at The Castle Elvis lives. At least in many hearts he docs. And certainly he appears to have been rc-incamatcd in the prime of life whenever Randy Friskic performs his acclaimed acclaimed 'Tribute to The King' on stage. Appearing next Saturday, Sept. 21, at Rumours Lounge in the Castle Hotel, Friskic and his travelling four-piece band and vocalists might even fool a die-hard Elvis fan into believing believing the the King was back. A good-looking dreamboat in his own right, Randy Friskic is quite capable of inspiring as many swoons in an audience as did his departed idol. Friskic looks, sounds, sneers and moves his hips in such a sensational sensational interpretation of Elvis Presley, that appreciative audiences audiences have rushed the stage on occasion. Bom in Niagara Falls in 1962, Friskic exhibited an early early interest in The King of Rock 'n' Roll. As a grade three schoolboy, Friskic made an Elvis Elvis puppet and sang j Blue Suede Shoes. Friskic's life-long fascination fascination with the star continued. He attended Elvis concerts as early as age 12. And soon after joining joining his father's band, Randy has been singing professionally for most of his 29 years. As a slightly overweight teenager playing in a band with his older older brother, he started honouring honouring Elvis through on-stage impersonations. impersonations. Public response to Friskic's Elvis impression convinced him he could put a full-time effort into a show devoted devoted solely to Elvis's work. Soon Friskic auditioned for the 'Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!' show. He gained a role in the show and thrilled thousands with his singing talent. He was asked at Expo '86 to do his own show. His current current Tribute to Elvis eventually evolved. Recreating the steady phenomenon phenomenon that Elvis Presley stirred up for three decades, Randy Friskic sends chills up the spine singing classics. Front the 50's, when the legend began, there's Heartbreak Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, and Teddy Bear. From the '60's it's Now or Never, Little Sister, Sister, and Return to Sender. From the 70's Randy sings Burning Love and Suspicious Minds, among other hits. The Tribute to Elvis performance, performance, in Rumours Lounge, is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. Sat. Sept., 21.
