Elvis 2

Ben Klein aka Elvis will be doing a live performance at the Sechelt Legion on June 17, 2023.

Ben is an Award Winning Elvis Tribute Artist and Benjamin “Lee” Klein was born on January 3, 1981, in the same week as Elvis, only 46 years later.  Growing up as the only child of musical parents, he has been singing, dancing and acting all of his life. Through the years, he also learned to play drums, bass guitar, piano and acoustic guitar.

 In 2002, he bought a ’50’s Elvis CD for his Dad, Randy, who was an Elvis tribute artist before Ben was born. Then realizing his own resemblance to the young Elvis, he borrowed the CD, found movies and videos, and decided to listen, watch, study and practice. Ben has the looks, the voice, the moves and more! He sincerely feels that if Elvis could say one thing to him it would be to perform his music, especially Gospel, with as much passion as he can. His desire is to do just that, while being as authentic as possible, and honoring God.

Ben has won eight (one of them Gospel) 1st place titles . . .  

  • The Coeur d’ Alene Idaho Casino
  • Two at the “Elvis Lives” Festival Penticton B.C.
  • The Elvis Festival at Collingwood Ontario and Kelowna B.C.
  • Springfield Illinois
  •  “Tribute to the King” in Milwaukee Wis. (also won People’s Choice Award)
  •  Lincoln City Oregon

  • “Images of the King” in Marquette Iowa
  • Two at Council Bluffs Iowa, and
  • Two at the “Tribute to the King” Competition in Milwaukee Wisconsin,
  • Two at the Penticton B. C. Elvis Festival.

 
That same year he performed in the exclusive tribute show  “Good Rockin ” Elvis Day Festival in Memphis, the first ever, presented by Elvis Presley Enterprises and Elvis International Magazine.

 In 2007 he became a member of the elite E.P.E. Top Ten Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artists in the World!!  He finished in 5th place!

 In Memphis on August 14th, 2008, he once again not only made the top 10 but took 4th place in the Ultimate Contest!
