Get “All Shook Up” with The Ultimate Elvis

DAYTON - All Wheels Weekend has always included live oldies music. But Dayton has never seen anything like what's coming Friday night.

A new community stage has been built (by Roman Schmidt of Summit Construction) that will be assembled on South Second Street near Clay Street. At nine o'clock, that stage will light up with a show direct from Las Vegas.

"The Ultimate Elvis" (a.k.a. Justin Shandor) brings his Las Vegas show to Dayton for 90 minute concert on the new community stage, which will be set up on South Second Street in front of the Dayton Memorial Library.

Shandor has been singing Elvis songs since he was 10. In 2010, a contest was held in Memphis to find out who was the best Elvis Presley tribute artist in the world. Shandor won, and was named "The Ultimate Elvis!" He has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and has traveled the world with his band.

Shandor portrays both the "early" Elvis of the '50s and early '60s, as well as the "later" Elvis of the late '60s and '70s.

Elvis died in 1977, nearly a decade before Shandor was born. Elvis impersonators have proliferated since then, but Shandor has risen to the top, and has played to crowds of thousands.

On Friday night, "The Ultimate Elvis" will play favorites from "Hound Dog" and "Heartbreak Hotel" to "Suspicious Minds" and "Kentucky Rain."
