Joe is back from a sun-soaked holiday in Tenerife, and while most
people return with souvenirs and a tan, Joe came home with a
massive appreciation for cheap, tacky, and absolutely glorious
live entertainment. Driven by a tip from an Instagram
follower, Joe tracks down Leslie "Elvis" Moore, who moved to the
island 16 years ago to become one of Tenerife's most recognizable
Elvis Tribute Artists. Les is an old-school professional who
thinks a podcast is a radio show, and spends thousands of Euros
on custom jumpsuits, only to occasionally rip them open while
attempting a dramatic karate kick.

After the interview at a local pub, Joe tags along as Elvis’s
roadie for a private gig at a Scottish family's rented villa in
the mountains.

From wardrobe malfunctions and aggressive chest-grabbing to Elvis
literally walking into a swimming pool mid-song, it’s a chaotic,
sweet, and strangely beautiful look at the realities of the life
of a tribute artist. Explicit.
