The King is gone, but the music and style is still alive.
Elvis CD's, LP's, casettes & videos are still selling long after his death and there are even new releases every year.
The phenomenon Elvis was and is a million dollar industry! On a couple of other pages I have info.
about Elvis himself, his albums, songs etc. This page will contain information about Elvis related
musicians, not Elvis himself.
This page is about the best Elvis impersonators,
sound-alikes and tribute artists there is. Talented people that help to keep
the memory alive.

Travis LeDoyt
Probably the best 50's Elvis impersonator/tribute artist I have seen! He looks a lot
like a young Elvis Presley, and sounds very good! Travis was borned in 1977
(the same year as me). He performs a historic concert tribute with his band,
"Tales From The Heartbreak Hotel", specializing in the 1954-1959 years of
Elvis career. I watched a re-creation (as a play act on stage) of the movie
"King Creole" starring Travis (on video), and I thought he did an amazing job,
sounding, talking, moving and looking like Elvis.
Rio - the Voice of ElvisMy favorite Elvis sound-alike artist (along with Jimmy Ellis)! Rio, from Germany have one of the best Elvis 70's voices in Europe and the world. He has been voted the best Elvis impersonator in Europe, a nd released several CD's, including "Goes Country", "Live" and "The One And Only Day - Christmas". I have all albums mentioned above, and I especially like Rio's version of "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and "Please Come To Boston". My good Internet friend, Jim Vanhollebeke, reviewed 2 of Rio's CD's. You can read the reviews here.Jimmy Ellis
Jimmy was, and still is, one of my favorite Elvis sound-alikes. I really like the way
he sings songs that Elvis never recorded in versions that still sound a lot
like Elvis. Please visit my own Jimmy Ellis page for information and links. Jimmy Ellis - At This Moment (RealAudio)
Tony Roi
A great tribute artist and also a great ballad singer. Tony
has been in "The Legends In Concert" and also made a couple of TV appearances
("All My Children", "David Letterman" (3 times), "Regis and Kathi Lee", "NBC
Today", "Atlantic City On The Move", "CNN International", "Burden Of Proof"-CNN,
"Elvis and Me").To listen to his album "Hand In Hand", you can go to www.amazon.de, just search for "Tony Roy" and click on the album: "Hand in Hand". One of my favorite CD's, great ballads! Tom GreenGreat voice! Sings everything from Elvis to opera. He does Elvis 1950's, 60's and 70's songs equaly good - sounding more like Elvis than most other singers.Donny EdwardsWorking at a local radio station in Texas, Donny picked up the nickname "the ghost of Elvis". Donny started performing in 2002 as Elvis and won a local Elvis Impersonator Contest in Lake Jackson, Texas. Since then, he has won a national contest held in Branson, Missouri and various other contests. He has performed in "Elvis, Elvis, Elvis" produced by Greg Thompson Productions of Seattle, Washington. One of the best young Elvis tribute artists I have seen!Jamie Aaron Kelley
Great Elvis soundalike and tribute artist! He has one of the best Elvis-like voices I have ever heard. He was the first
tribute artist to be allowed to perform at the Tupelo Fair in Mississippi. He has released two CD's, "Unfinsihed
Business" and "The Sun Also Rises". I have both and I think they are great! Highly recommended! Please check out
his web sites listed below for lot's of more information. Jamie Aaron Kelley - Joshua Fit The Battle (RealAudio)
Trent CarliniTrent is the star of the hit Las Vegas show "The Dream King," and the winner of the world-wide Tribute Competition to the King of Rock 'n Roll. The competition was held on August 26, 1997 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He's got the whole package: sings like Elvis, moves like Elvis and even looks like Elvis. If you can not see him live, check out his video: "A Dream King Concert", it's great!Rick SaucedoRick belongs to the top ten Elvis impersonators & tribute artists in the world, along with Trent Carlini and Travis LeDoyt (to name two others). He moves like Elvis, he looks like the older Elvis (Elvis around 1974) and he sounds like Elvis.

Great tribute artist! He's got the Elvis look, the moves and he sings very
good. He did a very nice version of "I Want You I Need You I Love You" at a
concert that I watched on video a while ago.
Scot Bruce
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, where he was an air-personality at the top 40 FM radio station
Z-FUN 106 and a drummer, Scot has lived in Los Angeles since 1990. While pursuing his career as a
musician/actor (and having been a musician and a big Elvis fan all of his life) he started doing a
1950s' era Elvis show as a way to survive the lean times. The result was a surprise to Scot, what was
meant as a part-time "gig" to supplement his income blossomed into a full-time career.
Because of his uncanny resemblance to the young "King" and his ability to sing, strum a guitar, and
swivel his hips, his live show has taken him all over the world to places like Japan, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Malaysia (where he had the privilege of performing for the King and Queen), Mainland China,
Australia and several countries in Europe and South America. He regularly plays concert dates across
the United States. As Elvis, Scot has appeared in music videos with Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill, and Tasmin
Archer, as well as on the FOX TV sitcom "Partners." Scot has also been heard as the "Resident Elvis" on
the highly rated Los Angeles morning radio show "Mark and Brian" on KLOS FM.
Most recently, Scot has appeared in a recurring role on the hit soap opera "Days of Our Lives," a Pizza
Hut commercial, and as the lead role in three successful productions of "Idols of the King": the
prestigous Barter Theater in Virginia, the Tennessee Repertory Theater in Nashville, and ArtPark in
upstate New York. If you saw the "True Hollywood Story: Elvis in Hollywood" on E! Entertainment
Network, that was Scot playing Elvis in the recreation scenes. He is also a regular cast member of
"A Really Big Shew" the Tribute to the Ed Sullivan Show." Aside from "Being Elvis," Scot has also
been seen as a night-club crooner on "The Bold and the Beautiful." Scot is a song-writer, and
(whenever possible) performs an acoustic guitar/harmonica solo act in the local pubs, and plays the
drums with an LA-based rock-a-billy band. Two of Scot's original songs were used in Riverdance
Pictures' 1999 film "On the Turning Away." Scot Bruce - G.I. Blues (RealAudio) Scot Bruce - Baby, Let's Play House (RealAudio)Gary Wayne BridgesA great singer that can really sound like Elvis in the 70's. His version of the Elvis song "Help Me" sounds almost exactly as Elvis own version! I also have his wonderful LP "For The Love Of Elvis '88", where I think he sounds like a mix of Elvis (around 74-76) and Rick Nelson (in the 70's and 80's). Great record, which included 10 songs never recorded by Elvis.I got this new information e-mailed to me (2002): Gary continued performing Elvis into the 1990s. He toured throughout the U.S. and Canada with members of Elvis' original group, including J.D. Sumner, Charlie Hodge, etc. Gary was a pall bearer at J.D.s funeral and is referred to in J.D.s book as the best in the business. Gary went to Nashville to record for Warner records and an accident cut his career short. He is planning a come back of his tribute to Elvis for August of this year (2002). Gary is now a successful producer of themed tribute shows that perform in casinos around the U.S. GWB - Help Me

Doug Church - The Voice of Elvis. He began his Elvis career in the United
States Air Force in 1983, winning the talent contests held annually by the
Air Force, competing against hundreds of other contestants. Since then he have
had a fantastic career and won several contests. He has a voice that is so
close to Elvis that in some songs (Elvis songs, studio, from the mid 70's) it's hard to hear the difference. Doug
belongs to the top ten Elvis tribute artists in the world! Doug Church - Susan When She Tried (RealAudio)

John BarronElvis sound-alike from Germany. He has made two albums (when this was written): "My Love To You" and "Tales", and also a CD-single "John Barron Meets Bill - The Memphis Session". I have all three, and I think they are great! Rene ShumanRene is from Holland and sings all kinds of music: Rockabilly, Blues, Country, Gospel and Rock and Roll. He has released several albums and singles, and has worked with The Jordanaires, Mike Stoller, and Phil Everly among others. He sounds a lot like Elvis did in the early 60's, one of the better Elvis sound-alikes I have heard. Great voice!Dean ZA young tribute artist that has a great Elvis-like voice, and looks a little like a young Elvis.Frankie AllanFrankie Allan did one of the best Elvis tribute songs that I have ever heard. It was called "Just A Country Boy" and was first(?) released on the single "JUST A COUNTRY BOY/I NEED YOU EVERY HOUR" on ROCKFIELD UP, UK pressing from 1977. You can also find "Just A Country Boy" at the CD "We All Wanna Sound Like Elvis" (this CD also contains one recording by Ral Donner and one by Vince Everett, and a lot of other artists).

He was the star of the big hit show "The Elvis Story" for many years.Jonathon Von BranaStarred as Elvis in "Legends In Concert" in Hawaii, and now has his own show in Hawaii called "Blue Hawaii". More Elvis look-alike than sound-alike. Moves a lot on the stage, which is fun to watch. One of the "coolest" Elvis tribute artists I have seen.Johnny EarleAn amazing artist! One of the best tribute artists there is. He can really sound like Elvis (Elvis in the 50's and early 60's). He has recorded with The Jordanaires, Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana. He has impressed many with his great voice - including Lisa Marie Presley, who has named him "Mr. Rock n' Roll". He has also toured with the country legend Carl Perkins. Johnny Earle - Anyway You Want Me (RealAudio)
Sivle Nora"Sivle Nora caused many people to wonder if indeed Elvis was still alive. The appearance of Sivle helped ease some of the grief that Elvis fans suffered and by the same token it took people's minds off the negative stories being written about Elvis. I would like to think that in some small way the legacy of Elvis Presley was extended in a very positive way by Sivle Nora." The nice words above was said by Mr. Steve Chanzes. The name "Sivle Nora" was taken from a book named "Elvis Where Are You?" written by Steve. Some people say Sivle's real name is David Darlock, others say it's not. Sivle chosed to keep his real name a secret. Steve produced and released the album "Sivle Sings Again" in the early 80's (1981, I think). These recordings are today very hard to find. Sivle Nora - Loving You (RealAudio) Sivle Nora - Are you Lonesome Tonight? (RealAudio)Ronnie McDowellRonnie is not really an Elvis impersonator, he can "impersonate" his voice so that he sounds like the young Elvis (50's and 60's), but he does not dress like Elvis or tries to move like him. Ronnie has several talents. He is a performer, songwriter, sculptor, sign painter, animation artist, watercolor artist, and caricature artist, as well as a musical creator and a talent manager.

He has also released several singles with own material in the seventies and eighties. Nowdays Robert entertains audiences throughout Ontario with his "Showcase Of Stars" show.Matt Lewis

Tom is a really talanted Elvis tribute artist from UK. He has done his tribute to Elvis for
over 20 years. Winner of the SUN newspaper's quest to find the best Elvis look and sound-a-like,
Tom was up against all the UK's top Elvis impersonators. Dressed as a soldier he sang "G.I. Blues"
and won outright, to become "The Suns Elvis" (Undisputed king since 1989). Tom was also given the
largests part on "Stars in their eyes" Elvis special, a one hour musical tribute to Elvis's
career. At the web sites listed below, you can listen to audio clips, see pictures etc. The official web
site even has video clips!
From Santa Rosa, California, Rick Lenzi has been an Elvis Tibute Artist since

the Elvis Entertainer world. He tours all over the world with his fantastic portrayal of the 1950's
Elvis. He is the winner of the "Images of Elvis 2000" contest!. He even looks
like a young Elvis. Ryan is also touring with the award winning Las Vegas production, "Legends in Concert".
Eddie is one of the best Elvis tribute artists/impersonators there is. Gordon
Stroker from the Jordanaires, Charlie Hodge (Elvis friend and bandmember) and
JD Sumner are a couple of persons that think highly of Eddie. Since they all
have worked with Elvis, they know what the are talking about. 
Larry is known from the hit "The Big El Show" in the 70's. He's now retired from the Elvis business since many years.
In 1977 he released the LP "In Concert", and in 1978 another LP, "Viva Las Vegas". I also have all (3) 45 rpm records
released by him, including "Alabama Girl/I Love You Because" (not the Elvis tune). Larry was also known for looking like
Elvis (the 70's Elvis) and sounding like Elvis (live in the 70's). Speaking of the last part: sounding like Elvis,
I would recommend the "Viva Las Vegas" LP. It's really good. His first LP, "In Concert", had not the same standard though.
This is one of the few guys who actually looks and sounds like Elvis.
Thane is a great Elvis fan and talented performer. His band The Cadillac Kings
are a seven (7)-piece band that authentically re-create Elvis's TCB band.

of Elvis Presley! His parents were friends of Elvis and the "Memphis Mafia", and as a little boy he
often visited Elvis at Graceland.
Andy (Atty Buitenhuis) is a very talented singer from the Netherlands. I have two of his CD's, and
I think that he has a fantastic voice that sometimes remind me of Elvis. The first CD I got by Andy was "Memories",
which was a tribute to another very popular dutch singer: Jack Jersey. Andy sounded just like Jack! The other CD
I have by Andy is his latest (when writing this Feb. 2004), "The White Andy". It features some older covers and a lot of
really great new written music. If you like artists like Jack Jersey, Terry Lee, Ral Donner, P.J. Proby or Elvis,
I'm sure you'll like Andy too. Feel free to check out my fan web site for Andy (link below) for bio, pics and audio
clips.

Since exploding onto the scene in early 2005, Justin Edwards has performed at clubs, casinos, private parties,
specialty events, and shows. Justin started singing some of Elvis' songs two years ago (2003)

play the guitar and sing his songs. Soon he bagan to capture small audiences with his "Sound of Elvis".
Numerous performances for private and even public events as well as award winning contests soon followed.

In 1995 Art immigrated to the United States, and with his "Sound of Elvis" show he continues to be the "voice
of choice" as he tours the USA and Canada. Recent rave news reviews claim: "...Art is not an Elvis caricature-
he plays guitar and sings songs with passion and intensity..." and "...He sings like Elvis, looks like Cary
Grant and speaks like Arnold Schwarzenegger..." or "...astounding vocal similarity to Elvis Presley...".
Though Art continues to respectfully present the voice and heart of Elvis Presley during his shows, he can also
skillfully sing renditions of artists such as Frank Sinatra, Glen Campbell, Marty Robbins, Andy Williams,
Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot and Vic Damone. Art's Elvis Limousine was featured on the recent CBS
mini series "Elvis". The Limo is available for special events as well as part of Elvis tribute shows. You
