Europe's Tribute to Elvis winner in 2013 Elvis Tribute Artist Contest finals

Europe's Tribute to Elvis winner, Ben Thompson, earned a Top Five place at the Ultimate Elvis finals during Elvis Week 2013.

Ten of the top Elvis tribute artists in the world competed tonight at a packed house at the Cannon Center in downtown Memphis where the 2013 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist was announced. The winner was Dean Z, the winner of the Rockin' Elvis Fest at Pala Casino.

Ben has been a committed Elvis fan from a young age and has always loved listening, watching and learning about Elvis. He takes great pride in making sure his tribute to Elvis is respectful and sincere. He performed his first tribute in January 2012 during a local festival in London. His performance was well-received and encouraged him to become an Elvis tribute artist. Being able to compete in Memphis during Elvis Week is a dream come true. 

Ben will be a featured performer at the 2014 Europe's Tribute to Elvis festival to be held in Blackpool between the 4th and 6th July, 2014.
