The Ultimate Elvis Experience, An EPIC show starring two of the most popular Elvis Tribute Artists in the world today, Shawn Klush – ‘Graceland’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist’ and Moses Snow – ‘The New Prince of Rock N Roll’!
SHAWN KLUSH: Actor, Entertainer, Recording Artist &amp; Elvis Tribute Artist! 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 $5,000.00 prize in the “Worldwide Elvis Competition” in Montreal. 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 throughout the UK &amp; EU. Shawn has released 5 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 $25,000.00 “World Elvis Tribute Artist Competition”. He then received “The Peoples 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, the anniversary of Elvis’ passing, Shawn was named the ‘First Ever’ “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist” by Elvis Presley Enterprises at Graceland in Memphis TN. Shawn has record breaking performances in the US, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, the UK, EU and South America. He was named “Worldwide Ambassador of Elvis” at the Las Vegas Hilton where he headlined the annual Las Vegas Elvis Fest, celebrating Elvis’ historic Las Vegas Performances. 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 &amp; Roll’ on VH1 and CBS, appeared on the TV series Impractical Jokers, ‘What we do in the Shadows’ and portrayed Elvis in the HBO TV series Vinyl produced by Martin Scorsese &amp; Mick Jagger. He also sang in the recent movie ‘Priscilla’.
MOSES SNOW: Entertainer, Singer and Multi-Instrumentalist…Fans are calling Moses Snow him ‘The New Prince of Rock N Roll’! Moses is the youngest performer ever to be named Grand Champion at the prestigious ‘Images of the King’ competition in Memphis TN. Also, while in Memphis, at the World Championships, he received the prestigious Heart of the King ‘New Horizon Award’ for best new Elvis Tribute Artist who embodies the Heart of the King, paying tribute to the greatest entertainer of all time, in a sincere, tasteful manor with the utmost respect for Elvis’ legacy. Moses always strives to give the most authentic and respectful tribute to Elvis Presley possible. His moves, facial expressions, eye contact and smile are very reminiscent of the young 1950’s Elvis. Moses transports us to what it may have been like to see Elvis in the beginning, when he exploded on to the stage with raw passion, talent, charisma and an energy that had never been witnessed before. Moses Snow the new ‘Prince of Rock N Roll’. Moses took 3rd place again in the 2025 Elvis Week’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at Graceland naming him the 3rd best in the world.

Side Street Studio Arts, in conjunction with the City of Elgin and the Downtown Neighborhood Association, announces the third annual AREA 22: Arts, Crafts, &amp; Oddities Fair on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 1–7 p.m. on Riverside Drive in downtown Elgin.
Now in its third year, AREA 22 brings together fine art, handmade goods, and the strange, curious, and unexpected for one unforgettable summer afternoon along the Fox River. The outdoor fair will feature a juried lineup of artist-vendors exhibiting and selling their work, live art and sculpture-making, music and entertainment, local food and beverages, and creative experiences for all ages.
Free admission. Free parking. Rain or shine.
“AREA 22 is where downtown Elgin gets weird, wonderful, and wildly creative for the day,” said Side Street Studio Arts co-Founder and Executive Director Tanner Melvin. “It is a full-on celebration of artists, makers, collectors, families, and curious people who want to discover something they have never seen before. Come ready to shop, explore, make things, and leave with a story.”
AREA 22 will also include the unveiling of Elgin’s America 250 public artwork, a permanent sculpture inspired by young Elgin artist Nathan Adeosun’s hopeful vision of a future America rooted in diversity, compassion, creativity, and shared purpose.
“As we build toward our future home at 62 S. Grove Ave., hosting an event right at our back door on Riverside Drive makes perfect sense,” said Melvin. “AREA 22 is an opportunity to celebrate the artists, small businesses, community partners, and creative energy that make downtown Elgin such a special place. We are especially proud to unveil Nathan Adeosun’s America 250 sculpture during the fair—a powerful reminder that young people in our community are already imagining and shaping a more hopeful future.”
Visitors can explore original artwork, handmade crafts, oddities, and one-of-a-kind finds while enjoying food and drinks from local vendors. AREA 22 is designed for seasoned collectors, first-time art buyers, families, curious passersby, and anyone looking for a distinctly Elgin way to spend a summer Saturday.
Side Street Studio Arts advances engagement in the arts by providing inclusive access to exhibition, performance, education, and advocacy resources, because art is important.
