Sean Sharp and Charlie Cole, IV - Elvis Impersonation Contest - Lumberton, NC - February 25, 2006
At the recent annual Elvis Impersonation Contest in Lumberton we were privileged to meet two up and coming ETA's in Sean Sharp and Charlie Cole, IV. The free event is sponsored by the Lumberton Parks & Recreation every year as a way of giving back to the community. The special host was Keith Henderson who also performed. There were many good adult contestants but I was quite impressed with the kids who have never had the chance to see Elvis perform live. Sean is an 8 year old and Charlie is 10. How amazing that they even know who Elvis is in this day and time much less perform in his style. I hope to see them both again next year. Angie Sumter, Lumberton, NC

Sean Sharp - Feb. 11, 06 - Oakboro Music Hall, Oakboro, NC
This weekend I attended an event in my hometown and received the surprise of a lifetime. The opening act for the scheduled Bluegrass band was an eight year old Elvis Impersonator! He hit the stage with a medley of Heartbreak Hotel/Hound Dog/All Shook Up and immediately won over this town. He sang several other songs before turning the stage over to The Grascals (www.grascals.com), Dolly  Parton's opening band. He was impressively dressed and really belted out the songs with a stage savvy I would never have expected from a child of his age. He was polite when I spoke with him later in the night and he even directed me to his website at www.seansharp.4t.com. When I visited the site I was surprised by the amount of time he spends doing this all around the area. He even has his own fan club! Plans are already being made for Sean to return and I assure you I will make sure I am there again. I hope that when he returns we'll get to see even more of what he does. Way to go little guy!

SEAN SHARP- Lake Park Fall Festival, Indian Trail, NC - November 2005
My family recently had the pleasure of watching a fine young man by the name of Sean Sharp perform at our local festival. With an exceptional stage presence and wonderful costume this 8 year old dynamo was even able to capture the attention of our daughters. They happily stayed for the entire performance and competed to capture a much coveted tossed teddy bear! When he completed his performance they were each able to receive an autographed photo and even a copy of a CD he has just recorded. Who would have known we could find such talent literally in our own backyard. He has a wonderful voice and should be able to go far with whatever he wants to do in this business. You can also visit him on the web at www.seansharp.4t.com . Good luck Sean!

Sean Sharp - Pageland Watermelon Festival - July 16, 2005
This year's Watermelon Festival featured a Tribute to Elvis Presley from 7 year old Sean Sharp. WOW! I was amazed to see a child of his age perform songs such as "Wear My Ring", "Treat Me Nice", "Jailhouse Rock" and a medley of "Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog and All Shook Up" plus many others. And talk about charisma; when he removed the purple scarf from his neck and asked "Who wants this?" he had an immediate crowd response. He later passed out another scarf and then specifically called two other ladies to the stage for kisses. What a heartbreaker this little guy is gonna be. In his white fringe suit with beads flying after each shake of the hips he left everyone wishing he had more time on stage. After he left the stage he visited with festival goers gathered around the stage to sign autographs and pass out photos. You can check his schedule at www.seansharp.4t.com to see if he will be in your area. If he is make sure you catch the show; you'll be glad you did.  Sandra Crowley , Pageland, SC

Sean Sharp and Alex Swindle, 2nd Annual Freedom Rings Concert, Mauldin, SC, July 2005
Talk about DOUBLE TROUBLE ! These two young dynamos were excellent at Rick Wade's recent Freedom Rings concert in Mauldin, SC. Seven year old Sean Sharp and 11 year old Alex Swindle opened the night's performance with unexpected charisma and talent. What a delight for those in attendance. Each has several contest wins already under their wide Elvis belts and showed everyone that they will be there to bring the next generation of Elvis fans wonderful memories for years to come. Keep an eye on these two as they will definitely be the up and comers of our Elvis Tribute Artists.

SEAN SHARP, Italian Festival.  May 2005
What an unexpected surprise at our local Italian Festival. Seven year old Sean Sharp came to perform and we were all just blown away by his talent. From the "2001/That's Alright Mama" to "Can't Help Falling In Love" this little guy was just wonderful. He made all the ladies feel special by passing out kisses and I was even lucky enough to receive one of his Teddy Bears. He gave me a signed photo after the show and told me I could even visit his website. My daughter snapped the attached photo just before he left the stage. If you ever get a chance to see him make sure you do. I'll certainly be keeping up with his schedule now from his website at www.seansharp.4t.com . Well done Sean. Diane Lawson , Ft. Mill, SC

Meet the Boy King, aka Elvis imitator Sean Sharp



Elvis' legacy is in no danger of dying out -- at least in Union County.

Sean Sharp, who's 7 and lives in Indian Trail, is an award-winning Elvis impersonator. He's already got four years of experience under his wide Elvis belt.

Sean's mom, Lynn, said she and her husband, Warren, like Elvis, one of man artists they listen to. As a baby, Sean often was rocked to sleep with Elvis tunes playing in the background.

When Sean was 3, he chose an Elvis costume out of a catalog to wear for Halloween. It arrived early, and Lynn and Warren let him put it on for an Elvis impersonator show they were attending, thinking lots of fans would come dressed like the king.

But Sean was the only one in Elvis attire. After the show, the Elvis impersonator told Sean if he came to another show, he'd put him on stage.

So the Sharps made sure to be at the next show at Ovens Auditorium, and Sean made his Elvis stage debut.

"It was just the guy on stage and my 3-year-old son," Lynn said. "We could just see there was something that changed in his eyes in that moment."

Four years later, Sean has won the youth division of Elvis impersonator contests in Cornelia, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala. He's a regular at area nursing homes, fairs and festivals.

Sean said his favorite Elvis song is "Jailhouse Rock." He has three Elvis suits -- a red one, a black one and a white one. His repertoire includes 16 songs, which he memorizes by listening to them over and over.

"He's got a fabulous memory for stuff like that," Lynn said.

He's also added Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" to his song list, and he sometimes throws the tune into his Elvis performances.

Sean's favorite part of being a young Elvis?

"Getting up in front of people and dancing," he said. He also consorts with fellow Elvis aficionados in the Elvis Fan Club of Matthews-Mint Hill, of which he is a member.

Sean, a first-grader at Union Academy, also likes Conway Twitty and Reba McEntire, but usually falls asleep at night to Elvis.

Sean will be performing several times in the upcoming months, and if you'd like to see his show he'll be at Monroe's Blooming Arts Festival at 12:15 p.m. Sunday and the Monroe Square Gardens Generations Fair at 11 a.m. on May 14.

You can keep up with Sean at www.seansharp.4t.com.

ARIK CHRISTOPHER & WILLIAM STILES. Newnan, Georgia. January 22, 2005

A trip back in time with the stage production LEGENDARY. This production was written by Arik Christopher and proved to be a wonderful success! Arik's VERY uncanny resemblance to Elvis in the 50's added that extra something special to his performance of the songs made famous by Elvis in the start of his career. From his jet black pompadour, striking blue eyes, his awesome voice and moves, he helped the audience relive the past! Arik not only proved his singing abilities in this performance, but he also showed everyone that he can ACT! With full stage props and dancers during a 60's set, it was like a Broadway Production! Arik's part of the show also included a Gospel set which he sang BEAUTIFULLY! Arik portrays 50s & 60s Elvis so wonderfully, you sometimes have to tell yourself it's not Elvis you are watching! ~There was a special guest performance by Little Elvis, aka Sean Sharp from NC. He was cute and gave the audience a nice treat! A very talented little 7 year old, keeping Elvis's memory alive!~The last portion of the show featured William Stiles, recreating Elvis in the 70s.

He doned two BEAUTIFUL jumpsuits, The Powder Blue & The Memphis Suit, which sparkled immensely! He sang some well known Elvis power tunes and was remarkable! William very closely resembles Elvis in the 70's which helps to make a great performance even better! William is headliner at Memories Theatre in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. To get to know more about these awesome entertainers visit them at: www.arikchristopher.com , www.memoriestheatre.com , www.seansharp.4t.com . A night I and many others won't soon forget! Legendary will be a touring production, and I can't wait until the next one! ~Cortney Amador, Newnan, GA

SEAN SHARP Elvis Night with the Charlotte Checkers,
Charlotte, NC February 2005

On February 18, I attended a special hockey promotion for "Elvis in the Building" hoping to be entertained by some ETA's I had not yet seen. Sean Sharp was the one to catch my attention. He is a 7 year old who lives in nearby Indian Trail, NC. This particular arena is also known as "The Old Coliseum" and is the same building where Elvis performed many concerts. This photo of him was taken directly behind the area where Elvis' stage was set up. Sean's parents told me he's been dressing and acting like Elvis since the age of three. He performs at local festivals and fairs and spends lots of time entertaining in area nursing homes and assisted living centers. He is also the 2004 David Lee "Elvis In Dixieland" Youth Champion. Sean was a great performer and a delight to chat with. This is truly the future of ETA's and amazing to see someone so young enjoying the music and memories we treasure. You can check him out for yourself at
