Elvis Spectacular

Actor, entertainer, recording artist and ultimate Elvis tribute artist, Shawn Klush, is set to headline Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, August 15th. The magic of the Elvis Tribute Artist Spectacular starring Shawn Klush starts at 8:00pm

Tickets to see the recipient of the “World’s Greatest Elvis” Impersonator go on sale Friday, May 16th at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Klush’s fans can also purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Saturday, May 17th, subject to availability.

Born and raised in the small coal-mining town of Pittston, Pennsylvania, Shawn’s love for music led him to begin imitating his musical idol, Elvis Presley. He performed in the famous Poconos region followed by a tour of Canada where he entered and won the $5,000 prize in the “Worldwide Elvis Competition” in Montreal. This caught the attention of the award-winning Las Vegas show, Legends in Concert where for many years he starred as ‘Elvis’ in their Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas, Branson and Atlantic City show rooms. Each year he stars in the “Elvis Tribute Artist Spectacular Birthday Edition Tour”, an extravaganza with Elvis’ own musicians, back-up singers, and friends, in major venues in the US and headlines the Elvis Tribute Artist World Tours.

Shawn has released five CDs. He has performed with Elvis’ closest friends, musicians and singers such as JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, The Jordanaires, The Imperials, DJ Fontana, Charlie Hodge, Jerry Scheff, The Sweet Inspirations, Joe Guercio, Jerry Schilling and Joe Esposito.

On Elvis’ 70th birthday, Shawn became grand champion at the $25,000 “World Elvis Tribute Artist Competition”. He then received “The People’s Choice Award” from Gibson Guitar Co in Nashville for “Best Concert Elvis”. Shawn was then named the “World’s Greatest Elvis” by 6.5 million international viewers on BBC1 Television in the United Kingdom. Finally, on August 16th, on the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ passing, Shawn was named the ‘First Ever’ “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist” by Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, TN. Shawn has record breaking performances in the US, Switzerland, Canada Australia, the UK and South America.

Shawn was a featured performer on the Late Show with David Letterman performing to over 8 million viewers on CBS. He portrayed Elvis in Shake Rattle & Roll on VH1 and CBS, appeared on the TV series Impractical Jokers and What we do in the Shadows and portrayed Elvis in the HBO TV series Vinyl produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger.
