Justin Shandor as ELVIS

July 3rd

8:30 pm

Capitol Main Stage


With a voice that has been compared to Luciano Pavarotti, not only does Justin have the pipes, he has the whole package! In fact, his mannerisms and moves are so identical to that of Elvis, it's impossible for even the biggest Presley fan to identity a single flaw or inaccuracy in his performance. He is such a close match to the King that a few years back, USA Today put Justin on the front page. He is basically the type of performer that you have to see to believe.

While much of his success as an entertainer has no doubt resulted from his unbelievable God-given talent and ability, part of it is also a testament to Justin's hard work and deduction to self-fulfillment, to his craft, and to keeping the legacy of Elvis Presley accurately and respectably alive.

He began professionally impersonating The King when he was 16, and has spent the last nine years practicing and perfecting upon his already remarkable skills and instinct. Now, at the ripe ol' age of 26, with a voice that no amount of lessons alone could ever spawn, Justin is one of the foremost Elvis impersonators in the world.

Although Justin Shandor has enjoyed the majority of his success and notoriety impersonating The King of Rock 'N Roll, he is far more than an Elvis Tribute Artist. Justin is also a very gifted musician, playing many instruments including the guitar and piano, in addition to  writing his own amazing songs.

In 2010 he won Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at The annual Graceland-sanctioned competition  and his all-out version of Elvis Presley's "Polk Salad Annie" brought first prize. He performs in Vegas and all over the world shaking up audiences with his remarkable talent.

The Little River Band

July 4th

7:30 pm

Capitol Main Stage

Little River Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975.  It was originally a blend of musicians who had enjoyed success in other Australian acts. They immediately claimed their place in America as one of the great vocal bands of the ’70s and the ‘80s.

Between 1976 and 1983, chart success in America includes the following singles: It's a Long Way There, Help Is on Its Way, Happy Anniversary, Reminiscing, Lady, Cool Change, Lonesome Loser, The Night Owls, Take It Easy On Me, Man On Your Mind, We Two, and The Other Guy.

Little River Band’s worldwide album and CD sales now top 30 million. They also set a record for having Top 10 hits for 6 consecutive years…the first band to achieve that mark. They were also inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame at the 18th Annual ARIA Music Awards of 2004.

Their current lineup brings new energy and arrangements to the classic hits, making new memories for the audience out of each live performance.
