A tribute act is a
music group,
singer, or
musician who specifically plays the music of a well-known music act, often one which has disbanded or ceased touring. Probably the largest class of tributes acts are
Elvis impersonators, individual performers who mimic the songs and style of
Elvis Presley; however, most tribute acts are groups (tribute band or tribute group) and are tributes to a group. For example
The Iron Maidens are an all female band that pays tribute to
Iron Maiden. A tribute band rarely includes any members of the original band whose music is being honored, although guest appearances occur.
