Elvis impersonator - Donny Edwards

Elvis impersonator Donny Edwards grew up listening to Elvis and watching his movies. What an impression this would make on his life..

His uncle had even met Elvis in person in the army - not something many can claim..

From a young age people would tell Donny he looked like Elvis. He worked hard at learning to imitate the Kings voice and his moves.

His website says:

"In May 2005, when �The Young and The Restless� daytime soap opera was scouting for the look and sound of Elvis, Donny was offered the job immediately after he auditioned. He surprised many of his fans as they watched their favorite soap opera only to see Donny Edwards on the show with a singing part."

And then he started winning awards - one after the other.

"His incredible look, singing, humbleness, charm and southern speaking voice will make you feel like you are with the King".

Trent Carlini, Elvis impersonator on youtube

If I could have found Trent Carlini, Elvis impersonator, performing Polk Salad it would have been great - sorry. I have shown both Shawn Klush and Brandon Bennett performing this song so it could have been a great opportunity for you to compare the three I have profiled so far.

Nevertheless, i found this very slick montage piece on youtube -

Elvis impersonator - Trent Carlini

Meet another Elvis impersonator who made it into the final 10 of the first ever Ultime Elvis Tribute Artist competition in Memphis.

Trent Carlini was born in Chicago to parents who immigrated to the United States from Italy. At the age of five he became a fan of Rock' n Roll and began playing guitar at 10 years old. Music had become a major part of his life within just those short years. He attended school in Italy and then moved back to the U.S. in 1987, making Florida his home. "One could always find Trent, performing in local clubs!" his website states.

After the death of Elivs in 1977 a change in Trent's muscial direction took place and he decided to become an Elvis impersoantor, trying to recreate the syle of the man he'd so admired and who had had a huge impact on his life. Trent's star really began to shine in 1988 when he was chosen to star in the Annual Birthday Tribute to the King at the Star Plaza Theater in Indiana. And that was it - Trent has been a truly sought after Elvis impersonator ever since.

"Today, Trent Carlini is living his dream of re-inventing the phenomenon in his Las Vegas show, "The Dream King." In this production, Trent takes the audience through a magical journey of the King's career: from the hip-swiveling 50's, through the unforgettable army and movie years, through the hot-leather years of the '68 Comeback, all the way to the Las Vegas years of the 70's. The Trent Carlini production show is the best and only successful tribute to the "King of Rock 'n Roll" on the Las Vegas Strip and in the world." read more at his website http://www.thedreamking.com/bio.htm
