JUSTIN SHANDOR - Since the passing of The King almost 42 years, there has never been a tribute artist that has so captured the look, moves and especially the sound of The King more than Justin Shandor. According to The Jordanaires (Elvis’ regional background singers, which Justin has performed with on several occasions), "Justin has the raw talent that shot Elvis to the top. His likeness to The King is so close that at one time Graceland emailed a casino where Justin was performing and told them they could not use a real picture of Elvis to advertise their event. It was a picture of Justin!”. In August 2010 Elvis Presley Enterprises held a contest in Memphis and invited the top Elvis tribute artists worldwide. Justin came in first place and Graceland named him the “World’s Ultimate Elvis!”. He is the only Elvis tribute to make the front page of USA Today and was recently featured in French Vogue Magazine.
