Meet Elvis impersonator Rich Vickers

Rich Vickers has done very well as an Elvis impersonator. Although Rich didn't make into the final 10, he did mighty well to get to where he did.

I visited Rich's website (you'll find the link below) and he'd written the following words which I thought you might like to read. It gives a good send of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest:

"With a total of 7 Elvis competitions under my new Elvis belt, I entered the first ever EPE (Editor - Elvis Presley Enterprises) contest in Arnold and won it.

It was amazing and surreal to be the first EVER Regional Winner for the Ultimate Elvis TributeArtist search sponsored by Elvis Presley Enterprises. I won a thousand dollars and the right to compete in Memphis.

Competiting in Memphis was both exhilarating and heartbreaking. Being around EPE and the camera’s, the venue; it was an experience like none other.

My “goal” was just to make it to the top ten. Which I didn’t."
