ABOUT RILEY JENKINS
Riley Jenkins, known to fans as the “Tennessee Dynamite,” is one of the most electrifying young Elvis Tribute Artists in the world today. With explosive energy, raw authenticity, and a voice that echoes the spirit of "The King" himself, Riley brings the magic of Elvis Presley’s early years back to life on stage — from the rockabilly swagger of Sun Records to the smooth charm of the 1960s.
Born and raised in Tennessee, Riley's love for Elvis started when he was just three years old. What began as a childhood fascination quickly became a life-long passion, nurtured by family and driven by a deep respect for the legacy of Elvis Presley. Since then, he’s captivated audiences across the country and around the world — including Australia’s Parkes Elvis Festival — with performances that are not just tributes, but full-fledged time machines.
Riley has racked up a list of impressive accolades throughout his career. He’s a Top 5 Finalist of the 2024 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at Graceland. He is also the Grand Champion of both the 2025 and 2023 Nashville Elvis Festival, the 2024 Branson Elvis Festival, and the 2019 Elvis FANtasy Fest. In 2021, he was honored with the “Heart of the King” Horizon Award, recognizing rising stars in the Elvis tribute world. From 2023 to early 2025, he brought Elvis to life nightly in Branson, Missouri as part of the Tony Award Winning Broadway Musical "Million Dollar Quartet" at The Shepherd of the Hills Playhouse Theater.
Whether he’s rocking a packed theater or thrilling fans on a festival stage, Riley Jenkins brings unmatched charisma, youthful passion, and a showstopping tribute to "The King of Rock ’n’ Roll." This isn’t just a performance — it’s a revival of an era.
