Oliver Steinhoff (GER)
There is no such thing as THE ‘best’ Elvis impersonator, as
this is a matter of personal taste, but Oliver Steinhoff (Germany) is
certainly one of the internationally recognised and multi-award-winning
impersonators.
Oliver Steinhoff has been honoured countless times ‘WORLDWIDE’
as an Elvis tribute artist. He has been an Elvis impersonator for over
20 years and has an unmistakable voice that sounds deceptively real
– just like the original. He was the first Elvis impersonator to
be named Elvis European Champion twice and Canadian Elvis Champion five
times. He is also one of the top 10 performers at the ULTIMATE World
Championships in Memphis, Tennessee.
At the German Elvis Festival 2026, we can once again look forward to
seeing the internationally acclaimed Elvis impersonator, who brings
the legend back to life.
