This is a great show dedicated to Elvis’ 1950s performances and features past winners of the Elvis tribute artist contest that happens every year. Happening live at the Graceland Soundstage it’s a great event to start off Elvis Week!

Gospel was one of the genres that Elvis had the most love for and can be seen as a huge influence on his music and style. Also taking place at the Graceland Soundstage, this show is a celebration of that influence, with music that continues to inspire the masses.

With the top 10 finalists set to compete, judges will crown the new Ultimate Elvis, who will walk away with the prestigious title and a grand prize of $20,000.
