Can Can’s Sun Records Revival is an ode to the
classics—Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, all the great
musicians who got their start at the famous Memphis studio—and
local teenager Vince Mira is the perfect talent to perform such
beloved songs. At first he’s just a baby-faced kid—he can’t be
older than 16, and his acoustic guitar looks big against his slight
frame. But when that kid opens his mouth, it’s unreal. Mira
sings Cash’s classics with an eerily exact replica of Cash’s
whiskey-tinged baritone. The shock is what pulls the crowd in, but
his charisma and talent is what keeps ’em coming back. (Can Can, 94
