tribute show
Honoring act onstage
A tribute show is a live performance in which musicians recreate the music and often the appearance of a famous artist or band.
Unlike cover bands playing varied material, tribute acts focus exclusively on one artist: a Beatles tribute show, an ABBA tribute show.
The performances range from casual appreciation to meticulous impersonation of costumes, instruments, and stage presence.
