ABOUT THE ELVIS CHALLENGE

Kentucky Rain Band's Elvis Challenge is returning to the Historic Everett Theatre for its fourth year in 2025! The Elvis Challenge is an evening of fun, surprises, and a one-of-a-kind tribute to the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. Prepare to see a variety of Elvis Impersonators from the Seattle area and beyond compete to see who will be crowned the king! You'll be serenaded by contestants with Elvis' greatest hits, all backed by a live band: the Northwest's #1 Elvis Tribute Band, Kentucky Rain Band.

​

Do you have what it takes to be crowned "THE KING"? Sign up beginning January 27, 2025 and compete in this year's Elvis Challenge! The deadline for signups is April 18, 2025.

​

Each year, the Kentucky Rain Band donates a portion of the proceeds of the Elvis Challenge to  the Everett Gospel Mission. The Band is proud to have supported the work in the community of the Everett Gospel Mission, providing food and shelter for those experiencing homelessness in the Everett area.
