TGB – The Elvis Presley Tribute Band ist eine Hommage an die Band TCB, welche an der Seite des King of Rock n Roll in den 70er-Jahren musizierte.

Die Band TGB (The Groth Band) wurde im Januar 2022 durch den Schlagzeuger Benjamin Groth als Masterprojekt zusammen mit René Wettstein (RenElvis) ins Leben gerufen. Wie das Original aus den 70er-Jahren besteht sie aus aus Drums, Bass, Gitarre und Piano, welche durch Backingvocals und einer Horn- Section mit Tenorsax, Trompete und Posaune ergänzt wird.

Eine eindrückliche Kombination, was natürlich auf die professionellen Musiker und die 25-jährige Erfahrung von René als Elvis Tribute Artist zurückführen ist.
