Dan Ranalli Elvis Presley Tribute Artist

08/21/2023

This article appeared on the Pittsburgh Tribune Review website on Sunday... not sure if it was in the actual paper though. This is a write up about myself and two other Pittsburgh area ETAs. Along with the contact made from this writer, so many other things have popped up regarding my show that one may call coincidental... but I don't believe in that word. Everything happens for a reason. So... It may be time to just go ahead, keep myself from finding a reason to stop the progress, and just go back on the road one last time.

Jamie Harris of Monongahela already had a hobby to occupy his spare time — he was a competitive powerlifter. But when he tore his pectoral muscle off the bone in 2000, he had to reevaluate things. “I was a jail guard at the Shuman Detention Center at the time,” said

An interview this afternoon took place between the Pittsburgh Tribune Review newspaper and Dan Ranalli. The interviewer is trying to put a story together about local Pittsburgh area Elvis Tribute Artists. With Dan being labeled as “the most famous/accomplished” ETA in Pennsylvania, the interviewer sought hard after him, according to the interviewer. The interview took approximately 30 minutes of time.

The story is supposed to run in the Wednesday edition of the Trib to coincide with the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death. We hope that if it does indeed appear in the paper that the writer is as professional as can be and presents not only Mr Ranalli, but anyone else interviewed in a proper and positive light. Guess we shall see on Wednesday. This has once again sparked interest in doing the “Comeback Tour” that seems to keep being put on hold. Let us know what you think.

Small update… 1st concert possibly at the Spartan Auditorium at Montour High School, McKees Rocks (Pittsburgh) PA!!! My old stomping grounds. “The Hilltop”. While the school has been completely revamped and looks nothing at all inside like it was when I was there… it’s still Montour and I miss roaming those hallowed halls.

Will be in talks with the staff at Montour soon. If need be… we will add a 2nd night but 1st… lets get the first one hashed out. Fingers crossed for this to be the stepping stone of the “Comeback Tour… Take 2” thanks to Covid cancelling October 2020’s start.

No matter where we are we hope to see all of you there!!!

Ladies and gentlemen…

First of all, thank you all for being a member of this page. And of course, welcome to all of the recent newcomers.

Thanks to Covid the “Comeback Tour” that was set to begin on October 24, 2020 was postponed and then eventually cancelled. So it has been a while since we’ve posted here. But I come to you with some news…

Over the last few weeks we have seen restrictions get lighter or disappear. And over those last few weeks I have been in discussion with my people about whether or not to go ahead and start another tour plan. We have decided to go ahead and begin talks with certain venues. This time it may be tricky in some areas. We won’t know until we research and discuss with those venue managers. But we will start to plan and figure and work on a new tour schedule. Just like it was supposed to be in October 2020… we will start things off right here in Pittsburgh. Where? Well… we will update as time goes by. It’s a different world we live in now thanks to a “bad cold”. But once we have things started and worked out we will give you the updates.

It’s been a long time being retired. And I’m really looking forward to going back up on a stage to give you, the Elvis fan what you want, what you deserve. As I have mentioned before throughout my entire career… I promise to give you more than 100% of my effort to bring you the absolute best Elvis Presley experience you could ever hope for.

Ok folks… will keep you all posted on what’s happening as the days/weeks go by. Again… thank you to all of you for your continued support. We hope to see all of you, old friends new friends and meet many more as we go along. Have a great rest of today and remember to always TCB⚡️!!!

I would like to say welcome to all newcomers to this page. I greatly appreciate all of your friendships and support for my Elvis Presley Tribute Show.

Unfortunately the tour that was planned to start on October 23, 2020 was postponed thanks to our wicked stepmother Coronavirus. I planned to start in January (last month) but restrictions have still kept all of us in the entertainment world from allowing us to do our job and entertain you, and it sucks!!

Even still today, Feb 4... we are still battling restrictions, but there may be some light at the end of the Corona tunnel. I will be looking into states with little or no restrictions, theatres who have had to “evolve” during this time etc and restart things in the direction of entertaining you... the Elvis Presley fan. I’m not sure exactly where or how to start just yet, but I will figure this out and my Elvis Presley Tribute Show WILL come back to you... out of my 9 year retirement. As we figure things out, the wheres, the hows, the whys and of course the whens... I will have all info posted right here for you. I do miss the closeness of a live audience. The give-and-take process of love and appreciation between myself and the audience, the smiles, the tears, the ability to quiet the minds of 100s and 1000s at one time and forget about personal and worldly problems etc. I promise you only the absolute best in each performance by giving more than 100% of myself to you. I am looking forward to the challenges ahead.

So again... thank you all for your friendship and support and I hope to see you all real soon on stage in a town near you.

Just for sh*ts n giggles I just finished watching the 1977 Elvis CBS Special. I’ve seen it a million times of course but... every time I do... I always shed a tear or 2. I remember when it first aired in October of ‘77... my 6 year old body did NOT move a muscle from the living room floor directly in front of the TV!!! Miss the crap outta him.

It also makes me realize that the “Comeback Tour” was scheduled to start Oct 23... just 2 months from now and how much I miss performing for everyone and how thanks to politics... it’s postponed til who knows when now. I really hope to get to everyone everywhere again real soon and bring back the Elvis memories we all have. I miss the stage.
