2025 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contestants
Below are a list of all of the registered competitors for the 2025 Charlotte Motor Speedway Elvis Festival & Auto Fair
AUSTIN Pugh
Austin Pugh is an US Army Veteran from Lancing, Tennessee. Music has always been an essential part of his life. This began at an early age when his parents would take him and his three sisters around to churches to sing gospel music.
He has always been an Elvis fan, not only as an entertainer but also as a great humanitarian. He never forgot where he came from and he did so much for others. As Austin continued to study Elvis live performances, he became fascinated with his ability to captivate an audience through the beauty of a song. He decided to pay tribute to the King by trying to recreate this and keep his legacy alive. His first award as an ETA came from Tupelo where he won the People’s Choice Fan Favorite award in 2024. It was an honor to receive this, especially in the birthplace of Elvis Presley. He has also been a top five finalist at several other qualifiers. He plans to continue performing as an ETA sharing the legacy of the music and the man behind the jumpsuit to all generations.

He has won numerous Fan Favorite Awards, and considers it an honor that the FANS love and believe in him so much! This past June Liam was crowned the 2024 Ultimate Elvis Tupelo Festival Champion.
Being an Elvis Tribute Artist is a passion, and his goal is to pay tribute to the greatest singer of all times in the most authentic, respectable way possible. He hopes to make Elvis proud each time he steps on the stage, while giving the fans a ‘feeling’ of what it was truly like to be at an Elvis concert!
He considers it an honor to carry on the legacy of a man who was kind, loved his parents, gave anonymously, and loved his country. Faith and God were at the forefront of all Elvis did, and those values Liam admires, as much as he does Elvis’s music.

BOB WHitson
As someone who has a natural talent for doing voices and impressions. The KING of Rock’N’Roll is the one that I most respect and admire. I am to give people an authentic Elvis show as possible, capturing his vocals, look, and the style of Elvis. I want to give people an experience that they’ll always remember; an experience that will make them feel like they’ve been transported back to the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’.
