About Mike Cole & Always Elvis
Contents
Mike Cole is an Elvis Tribute Artist with strong ties to both Melbourne, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand. He performs as “Always Elvis,” a show that recreates the energy, voice, style, and aura of Elvis Presley across his major eras.

He was recently awarded International Elvis Artist of the Year in 2023 at a major European Elvis festival.
