The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest is Back

During Elvis Week 2007, EPE introduced the first-time event, the 2007 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest. Twenty-four of the best tribute artists from around the world traveled to Memphis to compete during the event for the title of Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist of 2007, where Shawn Klush of Pennsylvania was announced as the winner.

EPE is bringing the contest back again in 2008 and once again looking for the Elvis tribute artist that "best represents the legacy of Elvis Presley." Tribute artists will receive the opportunity to compete in preliminary rounds of the competition in various locations around the world for their chance to win a spot in the semi-finals that will take place in Memphis during Elvis Week 2008 in August. Due to popular demand, all contestants will be, once again, backed by the EAS Band out of Chicago, IL.

EAS wants to personally thank Ryan & Rhonda Wood, Ace Crye and the entire staff of the E.P. Expo in Yuma, AZ. It was an incredible, massively

successful weekend and we all had a BLAST.  70 degree weather helps too!

EAS also wants to thank Bob West who performed two fantastic, energy filled shows and had the house rockin'. It was like old times backing a long time, good friend. Bob was pleasantly surprised at the new, full sound of the band. EAS looks forward to working with Bob in the summer of 2008!

Lastly, we would like to thank Dean Z, who also performed a great show Saturday night. It was great seeing Dean and performing with him again. All of the headliners and contestants were class acts and each one contributed to the overwhelming success of the second E.P. Expo. Plans are already in the work for E.P. Expo 2009 in February 2009.
