Elvis Presley tribute artist Mark Shelton has a special source of motivation for taking the stage in a sequined jumpsuit: his wife, Lisa. The Newport performer channels the rock-and-roll legend in his show The King Returns to support his bride in her battle against cancer. Flanked by a full band, Shelton doles out note-for-note interpretations of hip-shaking hits from the 1950s through the ’70s — think “Jailhouse Rock” and other upbeat numbers as well as ballads such as “My Way.” Proceeds from Saturday’s concert at the Flynn MainStage also benefit the American Cancer Society and Vermont’s Relay for Life. Thank you, thank you very much.
