Impersonators vs. Tribute Entertainment:
What's the difference?

Tribute Bands and Solists

A tribute band (sometimes tribute group) is a musical group created in order to specifically play the music of a well-known band, often one which has disbanded or ceased touring. A tribute band rarely includes any members of the original band whose music is being honored.

The typical tribute band differs from a cover band that simply plays songs by other artists by striving to capture every nuance of the imitated artist's actions and appearance for a perfect imitation. Some tribute bands imitate the appearance but re-interpret the original works in a particular genre or for comic effect. For example Dread Zeppelin plays Led Zeppelin songs in a reggae style with a lead singer who looks like Elvis Presley, while Gabba perform the songs of ABBA in the style of The Ramones.


Impersonators

An Impersonator is someone who imitates or copies the behavior or actions of another. Generally speaking, an Impersonator is an entertainer who impersonates a celebrity, generally for entertainment, and makes fun of their recent scandals or known behavior patterns.

For example, an Elvis impersonator is someone who impersonates or copies Elvis Presley either as a hobby, career in entertainment or occasionally for fun. Elvis Impersonators can range in ethnic background, size and talent.
Professional Elvis impersonators can work all over the world as entertainers and are in great demand due to the unique iconic status of Elvis. There are even a number of Radio stations that exclusively feature Elvis Impersonator material.
