Shea Arender, a Louisiana/Mississippi native got his first
shot as an Elvis Tribute Artist at the age of 12 on Commodore
Cruise line of New Orleans. Being from the south USA, Shea
also was exposed to a similar music influence as Elvis,
Gospel, Jazz and traditional Rhythm and Blues. Shea got a
degree in international business but had a desire
to further his musical education such as vocalization, music
theory, songwriting & 1700 - 1800's Classical.
Anita Wood Brewer, mother of Shea's sister-in-law, dated
Elvis seriously in the pre-army years (1950's) and with
all of her stories intrigued Shea to the point that he would
perform Elvis regularly. He enjoys performing all eras of
music the 50's 60's and the 70's. Being a past grand tribute
champion, his love for the music shines through in all of
his live performances.
He
has taken his love for music all over the world with him,
as his journeys have lead him to countries like Brazil,
Italy and Puerto Rico. He says in his own words " It 's
amazing in the response you get from fans internationally.
Their passion for Elvis and his music is incredible. I have
met a lot of wonderful people and I want to do the best
performance I can to keep the music alive"
