Out of the thousands of imitators all over the world…Justin Shandor is THE Graceland-endorsed Elvis Artist! So dust off your blue suede shoes for the World’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute concert Saturday, August 10! You must purchase your tickets by August 15th. After falling in love with the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll at the tender age of 8, Justin Shandor quickly caught on to every Elvis tune, serenading his grandmother at any opportunity. At just 16 years old, Shandor began his career impersonating The King at the Elvis-a-Rama Museum in Las Vegas. In 2010, Graceland named Shandor the World’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist and in February 2013 he made his national TV debut, performing “Can’t Help Falling in Love” during Elvis Week on the David Letterman show. Don’t miss your chance to hear some of the greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll hits of all time, including “Jailhouse Rock”, “Blue Suede Shoes” and “Suspicious Minds” as if they were being sung by the King himself!
