There are those of us who firmly believe Elvis Presley is alive and well and working as an Elvis impersonator, and it seems we’ve found a kindred spirit in Branden Powers, co-owner of The Golden Tiki at 3939 Spring Mountain Road. Powers — who’s never been one to shy away from a good story — was in a local dive bar in February when he encountered a singer whose physical and vocal resemblance to The King were uncanny, according to Powers. But you be the judge. “Cocktails with The King” will feature this performer from 2-6 p.m. Saturdays starting this weekend at The Golden Tiki. Happy hour specials include $5 mai tais, and other drinks and food for half price. For the record: Elvis would be more than 80 years old, but who knows? Maybe he cleaned up his act and is remarkably well preserved.
