Shawn Klush - The Ultimate Elvis Tribute

Live at the CenterStage Showroom.

The Closest Thing to the King in Concert

Winner of BBC TV’s World’s Greatest Elvis and Elvis Presley Enterprises’ First Ever Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest! As seen on The Late Show with David Letterman and HBO’s Vinyl.

Born and raised in the small coal‑mining town of Pittston, Pennsylvania, Shawn’s love for music led him to begin imitating his musical idol, Elvis Presley. He performed throughout the famous Poconos region, followed by a tour of Canada where he entered and won the $5,000 “Worldwide Elvis Competition” in Montreal. This caught the attention of the award‑winning Las Vegas show Legends in Concert, where he starred for many years as “Elvis” in their Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas, Branson, and Atlantic City showrooms. Each January, he headlines the Elvis Birthday Tribute Tour, an extravaganza featuring Elvis’ own musicians, singers, and friends, performing in major venues across multiple cities.

Shawn has released five CDs. He has performed with Elvis’ closest friends, musicians, and singers, including JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, The Jordanaires, The Imperials, DJ Fontana, Charlie Hodge, Jerry Scheff, The Sweet Inspirations, Joe Guercio, Jerry Schilling, and Joe Esposito. He portrayed Elvis in the hit TV miniseries Shake, Rattle and Roll, which aired on CBS and VH1, as well as HBO’s Vinyl.

On Elvis’ 70th birthday, Shawn became the grand champion at the $25,000 “World Elvis Tribute Artist Competition.” He then received the “People’s Choice Award” from Gibson Guitar Co. in Nashville for “Best Concert Elvis.” Shawn was later named the “World’s Greatest Elvis” by 6.5 million international viewers on BBC1 Television in the United Kingdom. Finally, on August 16th—on the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ passing—Shawn was named the First Ever “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist” by Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, TN.

Shawn has delivered record‑breaking performances in the United States, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and South America. He was named the “Worldwide Ambassador of Elvis” at the Las Vegas Hilton, where he headlines the annual Las Vegas Elvis Fest, celebrating Elvis’ historic Las Vegas performances. Shawn is the most popular Elvis Tribute Artist in the world.
