In just a short time after starting his performing career, Shawn Klush was voted the “World’s Greatest Elvis” by 6.5 million international viewers, was named the “First Ever Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist” by Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, TN and was a featured performer on the Late Show with David Letterman. Shawn’s love for music led him to begin imitating his musical idol, Elvis Presley. Shawn has released four CDs and CD singles. He has shared the stage with Elvis’ closest friends and musicians, including Elvis’ very own backup singers, The Sweet Inspirations. Shawn recently sold out a 15 city tour of Australia and has record-breaking performances in the U.S., Australia, Switzerland, Canada, the U.K. and South America. He was named “Worldwide Ambassador of Elvis” at the Las Vegas Hilton where he headlines the annual Las Vegas Elvis Fest, celebrating Elvis’ historic Las Vegas performances. If one thing is fair to say, it is that Shawn Klush is “The Closest Thing to the King in Concert.” Recently, Shawn Klush appeared as Elvis on the HBO original series Vinyl and received rave reviews for his performance from publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine.
