History
Shane Paterson, a PhD level marine scientist by training (he studied barracudas for his PhD and conducted subsequent research on ecology and conservation of reef fishes in coral-reef systems), started performing as 'Elvis' in 2005, at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas. He soon branched off on his own and began more frequently singing on the job. For six years he was the only Elvis impersonator at Caesars Palace, where he sang for several hours a day. During this time, he began working with talent agencies, helping to found and manage one and performing with greater frequency on corporate and private bookings. He has performed in every setting from private residences, restaurants, and hotel suites to massive ballrooms and arenas with audiences of thousands. He has also participated in many photo shoots, television taping, TV commercials, and music videos, and was cast by director Terrence Malick for a film with Christian Bale.
Specialties
Tributes to Elvis Presley of all sorts, from performing to meet-and-greet and media/TV/movie/commercial work and more. I also book other entertainers, including real Las Vegas showgirls. I primarily work in Las Vegas, NV, and in surrounding states but I will go anywhere: have jumpsuit, will travel!
