SUMMARY:Billy Currington at Hard Rock Casino – Northern Indiana
DESCRIPTION:Must be 21 and over to attend. \n  \n“Billy Currington’s latest album bears the breezy title Summer Forever\, but the talented Georgia native has spent more than a decade in the spotlight proving he’s truly a man for all seasons. Possessing one of the smoothest and most distinct voices in any genre of music\, Currington is equally skilled at delivering upbeat summertime anthems as well as exploring the complexities of life and love with a poignant ballad. On Summer Forever\, Currington’s sixth studio album\, he brings both with a collection of songs that will take the listener on a riveting musical journey and leave them breathless at the end of the ride. \n\nSince his self-titled debut album bowed on Mercury Records in 2003\, Currington has scored eleven career No. 1 singles\, most recently\, “Don’t Hurt Like It Used To.” His other hits that reached the No. 1 spot include such memorable songs as “Good Directions\,” “Let Me Down Easy\,” “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right\,” “People Are Crazy\,” “That’s How Country Boys Roll\,” “Hey Girl\,” and “We Are Tonight.” Over the years\, the self-effacing Georgia boy has amassed an impressive list of accolades. He won the “Hottest Video of the Year” honor at the fan-voted CMT Music Awards for “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right” in 2006. The same year\, he received an ACM nod for Top New Male Vocalist. His hit duet with Shania Twain\, “Party for Two\,” earned nominations from both the CMA and ACM. “People Are Crazy” took Currington’s already hot career to another level. He earned Grammy nominations for Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song in addition to being nominate for Single and Song of the Year from the Country Music Association.\n.” \n–Hard Rock Live – Event Page – Billy Currington \n  \nTicketing Information – TicketMaster  \nOfficial page at Hard Rock Casino – Billy Currington

SUMMARY:Wayne Newton + Tony Orlando - At The Hard Rock Casino
DESCRIPTION:Must be 21 and over to attend. \n  \n“WAYNE NEWTON \nLegend.  Icon.  American Patriot.  World renowned\, record-setting performer.  The Midnight Idol.  Mr. Entertainment.\n\nNo other name or person is so defining\, representative or synonymous with Las Vegas and the entertainment capital of the world than Mr. Las Vegas himself–\n\nWayne Newton. Recognized and revered around the world\, entertainment superstar Wayne Newton is known for his iconic signature song\, “Danke Schoen” in addition to countless other top hit singles including\, “Daddy\, Don’t You Walk So Fast\,” “Red Roses for a Blue Lady\,” “At This Moment\,” “The Letter\,” “Summer Wind” and “Years.”\n\nNewton has recorded and released\, to date\, an astounding 165 albums in his career.  In a volatile\, unforgiving industry where careers and successes can appear and disappear like vapors\, Wayne Newton resides atop the “Mount Rushmore of Entertainers” etched in music history.\n\nWayne Newton\, who will make his historic and triumphal return to the landmark Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino this fall\, has performed live in front of more than 40 million people during a record-setting run of 25\,000-plus shows in Las Vegas\, alone.\n\nThis remarkably gifted artist\, who can perform 13 different musical instruments on stage\, has done so throughout his career without ever being able to read a single note of music.  Wayne’s rare and unique abilities only further epitomizes the wealth of talent\, glamour and unquenchable energy that is–Las Vegas.\n\nIn addition to his live prowess on stage\, Newton has long since established himself as an accomplished and sought after actor–both on television and the silver screen–having appeared in such memorable movies as “Vegas Vacation” and the classic James Bond thriller\, “License to Kill.”\n\nBorn in rural Virginia\, Wayne knew early on\, at age four\, that he was born to entertain.  He had his first radio show at the age of six years old and then at the ripe old age of nine\, he landed his first television show in Phoenix\, Arizona–where his family had moved due to Wayne’s childhood asthma affliction.   Not to be detoured\, the now 15-year-old professional entertainer soon found himself performing six shows a night/six nights a week on stage at the Fremont Hotel in Las Vegas.  Young Wayne Newton was not legally old enough to be a customer at the casino/resort\, but the now “seasoned” performer was certainly talented enough to be entertaining nightly in the city known as the epicenter of the entertainment world.\n\nBlessed with an exceptional work ethic as well as the energy and heart to give 100% to each and every performance\, Newton also displayed an innate gift and ability to “connect” with his audience each and every night–adeptly tailoring and crafting each show to the needs and moods of each individual audience.  Wayne knew and loved his audiences and they responded in kind each night throughout the years.\n\nDeep\, heartfelt patriotism has always resided at the very core of Wayne Newton.  He has made it his duty and honor to have entertained troops in every major conflict our nation has encountered since Vietnam–where he traveled to twice.  Cited as one of his greatest personal honors\, Wayne was named the “Chairman of the USO Celebrity Circle\,” a passing of the torch from Bob Hope and the USO Commission to Wayne Newton in the year 2000.  From 2001 through 2004\, Wayne directed and participated in a total of 16 USO overseas tours.  Newton was the first performer to entertain troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.  President George H. Bush honored Wayne with a private reception at the White House in 2001 to salute him\, thank him and show the nation’s gratitude for his unwavering patriotism.  Wayne Newton summed up his feelings about those who served with this quote:  “Entertaining our men and women of the Armed Forces overseas has been one of the true highlights of my entire life.”\nWayne was also recognized by the United States Department of Defense when they bestowed upon him its highest civilian award for being the ONLY American entertainer to have performed in ALL of the respective countries of conflict.  Wayne was deeply honored by this special acknowledgment.\n\nLas Vegas–never a city to be outdone–made its own history when it saluted Wayne Newton by making him one of only two people to receive the city’s own Medal of Honor.  In addition\, he was also named the “Ambassador of Goodwill” by the state of Nevada.  The honors continued when Las Vegas McCarran International Airport’s main thoroughfare was renamed “Wayne Newton Boulevard.”  Las Vegas continues to honor Newton by naming him one of the “Top Three Entertainers of the Century–in Nevada and around the World” along with his dear friends and fellow performers\, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.\n\nWayne Newton has an embedded star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the very first one etched into the Las Vegas Walk of Fame.\n\nAs you can see\, Wayne Newton is “Mr. Las Vegas” for good reason.  And he remains ever-present in the city he helped make famous.\n\nYou’ll find him either on stage at The Flamingo\, tending to his world famous Arabian horses\, or in attendance at either a Las Vegas Golden Knights NHL hockey game or Las Vegas Raiders NFL football game…or ultimately doing something meaningful and important to help and support others in his city or for his country.\n\nAs one notable entertainment mogul once said:  “Las Vegas without Wayne Newton is like Disneyland without Mickey Mouse.”\nTONY ORLANDO \nTony Orlando is one of America’s most endearing and beloved iconic entertainers. 2022 finds Tony bringing his exhilarating energy\, warmth and humor to a tour of live concert shows across the nation as he celebrates over six decades in the entertainment business. He is recognized by his peers and the public – as simply the best! Grammy Nominee Tony Orlando has sold millions of records\, including Five #1 hit records: “Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Ole Oak Tree\,” “Knock Three Times\,” “Candida\,” “My Sweet Gypsy Rose” and “He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You).” He has 2 Platinum and 3 Gold albums and 15 Top 40 Hits. “Tie A Yellow Ribbon” was the #1 Billboard top song of 1973 and became Orlando’s theme song and grew into an American anthem of hope\, homecoming and renewal. Tony has performed for our armed services around the globe and raised millions of dollars for veteran organizations. His tireless work on behalf of our veterans led to his being named Honorary Chairman at the 40th Anniversary at the NAM-POW’s Homecoming Celebration at the Richard M.

Most recently\, on November 8th\, 2022\, Branson\, Missouri Mayor\, Larry Milton declared ‘Tony Orlando Yellow Ribbon Day’ & presented a proclamation to Orlando during Branson’s Veterans Homecoming Week. In 1993 he began his free Veterans Day Homecoming Celebration at his Yellow Ribbon Music Theatre in Branson\, Missouri for 20 years. He is credited for helping bring some 175\,000 veterans every year during the week of November 11th. Orlando kicks off his sixty years in music and entertainment with a series of new projects\, including the release of “Timeless: The Big Hits” on (via Time Life)\, that features re-recorded versions of his million-selling songs as well as a bonus track\, “America Is My Hometown.” Tony debuted the new track on 77 WABC Music Radio during his weekly radio program\, “Saturday Nights with Tony Orlando”\, which airs from 10pm to midnight and streams worldwide on 77 WABC\, which was also the first station to play Orlando’s debut single\, “Halfway to Paradise” when in his teens Tony was the first vocal pop artist to sign with Epic Records and hit the national music charts in 1961. Tony’s musical career has spanned reaching the pinnacle of success in recording\, television and the live stage. He has performed to millions of adoring audiences\, from entertaining troops on U.S. bases and in Iraq and around the world to Carnegie Hall\, Las Vegas and the White House. Tony has performed for five U.S. Presidents. He is the recipient of The Bob Hope Award for excellence in entertainment from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society honoring his efforts on behalf of our nation’s veterans. 2023 is the 50th Anniversary of ‘Tie A Yellow Ribbon’ and the celebration of the NAM-POW Homecoming. Tony has been a part of their annual homecoming reunion for the past 50 years and has been invited to perform that song again at the Nixon Library since it welcomed the POWs home at the Cotton Bowl with Bob Hope in 1973. Few entertainers have excelled in so many realms as Tony has: a top selling recording artist\, songwriter\, concert headliner\, network television star\, Motion Picture actor\, Broadway performer and author. Tony was also General Manager and VP of CBS-Music Division April-Blackwood Music from 1966-1970. He represented such songwriters as James Taylor\, Laura Nyro\, Blood Sweat and Tears and signed and produced Barry Manilow’s first recording and represented James Taylor’s music publishing while working for the legendary Clive Davis.

SUMMARY:The Killers Concert- At HardRock Casino
DESCRIPTION:Must be 21 and over to attend. \n  \n“The Killers are a Las Vegas-based four-piece who formed in 2003\, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers\, drummer Ronnie Vannucci\, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades for their artistic achievement\, including multiple Grammy nominations\, American Music Award nominations\, MTV Video Music Awards\, NME Awards and more. Their first album\, Hot Fuss\, was released in 2004 to worldwide acclaim. The album contained the singles “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me\,” in addition to the anthemic song “All These Things That I’ve Done\,” which has since been referenced by the likes of U2. The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss\, playing more than four-hundred shows\, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album with legendary producers Alan Moulder and Flood. The result\, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sam’s Town\, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200. A b-sides collection entitled Sawdust was released in 2007\, followed by their third studio album\, Day & Age\, which was released to widespread critical praise in 2008\, anchored by massive single “Human.” The Killers released Battle Born in September 2012\, which saw them expanding their world tour into countries they’ve never visited before\, and finally were honored to perform at the world-renowned Wembley Stadium\, one of the most monumental and significant shows of their career. After a decade of making music\, in November 2013\, The Killers released a “Best Of” collection\, Direct Hits\, which featured two incredible new songs alongside classics from the band’s revered catalogue. The band\, who have sold over twenty-five million albums worldwide\, and headlined all of the world’s top festivals (Coachella\, Lollapalooza\, Glastonbury)\, released their chart-topping album\, Wonderful Wonderful\, in September 2017. It garnered the band their first No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart the week of its release in the U.S.\, as well as topping the charts in the U.K.\, Mexico\, and Australia. In 2020\, The Killers released Imploding The Mirage in 2020; hailed by critics as one of the best records in the band’s already stellar catalog\, the album was the band’s sixth consecutive number one in the U.K.\, and Brandon Flowers’ eighth U.K. number one overall\, making the band the first international act to receive six consecutive #1’s in the United Kingdom. Imploding The Mirage also went Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart\, making it their sixth Top Ten album in America.  In 2021\, The Killers released their eight album\, Pressure Machine\, a quieter\, character-driven document of life in small town America inspired by frontman Brandon Flowers’ upbringing in rural Utah. In 2022\, they embarked on their largest\, sold out tour to date\, playing stadiums in North America and beyond. ” \n–The Killers Event Page \n  \nTicketing Information – TicketMaster  \nOfficial page at Hard Rock Casino – Event Page

SUMMARY:Diana Ross at Hard Rock Casino - Northern Indiana
DESCRIPTION:Must be 21 and over to attend. \n  \n\n“ \n“Singing is my beautiful delicious obsession” – Diana Ross \nDiana Ross defines an icon.  A national treasure with a magnificent legacy that has changed the course of music history and popular culture.  Ms. Ross is a creator of life\, an alchemist of an unprecedented career that has made her the most successful recording artist and entertainer of all time. \nIn 2021\, Diana Ross did it again\, bringing the world together with the release of a new Grammy nominated album titled Thank You.  “This collection of songs is my gift to you with appreciation and love. I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to record this glorious music at this time. As I walk my path\, you are in front of me\, we are one. These songs are from my heart and it brings me such joy to share them from me to you. I would like to thank everyone who participated in the making of these recordings and those that inspired me to create ‘Beautiful Love’ memories.” \nMs. Ross co-wrote\, produced and masterfully curated the album with songs of collective sprite and togetherness. \nMs. Ross headlined the world’s biggest music festival\, Glastonbury in 2022 drawing a crowd that becoming the most viewed performance ever at the festival and set the record for the largest TV audience in the history of the music event with over 3.1 million viewers in the UK. \nHer dream began as a young girl in the North End section of Detroit. In a city where she would help to create a national cultural movement and become the premiere artist at the renown Motown Records.  Her extraordinary journey from the leader of The Supremes to her solo career has inspired and empowered countless musicians\, artists\, celebrities\, and young dreamers. \nThe Diana Ross magic has touched music\, fashion\, stage\, film\, and TV.  Ms. Ross’ international achievements were acknowledged by the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in Washington D.C. (2007). The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences bestowed its highest honor\, The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award\, in 2012. \nHer portrayal of Billie Holiday in the classic film Lady Sings the Blues produced an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe Award.  Starring as an aspiring designer in the 1975 romantic comedy Mahogany\, the role was a perfect opportunity to personally sketch and design all the fashion in the timeless film.  \nAs a stage actress\, she won Broadway’s top honor with a Tony Award for her one-woman show\, An Evening with Diana Ross. The same show was later broadcast as an award-winning network television special. \nIn 2017\, the American Music Awards presented Ms. Ross with the Lifetime Achievement Award. In 1993\, she earned a Guinness World Record for her success in the United States and United Kingdom by having more hits than any other female artist on the charts with a career total of over 75 hit singles. \nHer voice\, described as “honey” and “angelic\,” has produced 14 Top ten albums\, 18 #1 songs and over 100 million streams\, downloads and sales around the world. \nIn what has been described as one of the greatest live concert performances\, Diana Ross drew a crowd of over 800\,000 people to New York’s Central Park on July 21 & 22\, 1983.   Soon after the show began on July 21\, pouring rain and heavy wind threatened to put an end to the show\, but she pushed on for much of the set\, urging the drenched crowd to remain calm and stay with her. Eventually the storm put an end to the performance\, but not before she promised her fans that she would return the next day. True to her word\, she performed the entire concert again on July 22nd for the people of New York City. \nAlways in pursuit of new levels of excellence and becoming the best of the best\, no one has done it better than Diana Ross. \n“As you hear my voice\, you hear my heart. ‘Let Love Lead the Way.’ I am so happy to have music as a part of my life. For the many moments of traveling and singing songs to you and loving you\, these new songs came from all our years together. I am so\, so grateful. Thank You for all the blessings in my life that you have given me. I have always felt your beautiful love. Thank you to my children and all my family. Thank you to all those that have made this incredible journey possible.” – Diana Ross “ \n–Hard Rock Casino – Northern Indiana main page (2/27/2023) \n  \nTicketing Information – TicketMaster  \n

SUMMARY:Smokey Robinson at Hard Rock Casino - Northern Indiana
DESCRIPTION:Must be 21 and over to attend. \n  \n” \nAcclaimed singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson’s career spans over 4 decades of hits. He has received numerous awards including the Grammy Living Legend Award\, NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award\, Honorary Doctorate (Howard University)\, Kennedy Center Honors and the National Medal of Arts Award from the President of the United States. He has also been inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame. \nBorn and raised in Detroit\, Michigan\, Robinson founded The Miracles while still in high school. The group was Berry Gordy’s first vocal group\, and it was at Robinson’s suggestion that Gordy started the Motown Record dynasty. Their single of Robinson’s “Shop Around” became Motown’s first #1 hit on the R&B singles chart. In the years following\, Robinson continued to pen hits for the group including “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me\,” “Ooo Baby Baby\,” “The Tracks of My Tears\,” “Going to a Go-Go\,” “More Love\,” “Tears of a Clown” (co-written with Stevie Wonder)\, and “I Second That Emotion.” \nThe Miracles dominated the R&B scene throughout the 1960’s and early 70’s and Robinson became Vice President of Motown Records serving as in-house producer\, talent scout and songwriter. \nIn addition to writing hits for the Miracles\, Robinson wrote and produced hits for other Motown greats including The Temptations\, Mary Wells\, Brenda Holloway\, Marvin Gaye and others. “The Way You Do the Things You Do\,” “My Girl\,” “Get Ready\,” “You Beat Me to the Punch\,” “Don’t Mess with Bill\,” “Ain’t That Peculiar\,” and “My Guy” are just a few of his songwriting triumphs during those years.  \nHe later turned to a solo career where he continued his tradition of chart-topping hits with “Just to See Her\,” “Quiet Storm\,” “Cruisin’\,” and “Being with You\,” among others. \nHe remained Vice President of Motown records until the sale of the company\, shaping the label’s success with friend and mentor Berry Gordy. Following his tenure at Motown\, he continued his impressive touring career and released several successful solo albums. Recently\, Robinson appeared on “Make It Better” from Anderson Paak‘s album Ventura and Rita Wilson’s Now and Forever: Duets album joining for “Where Is The Love.” \nDuring the course of his 50-year career in music\, Robinson has accumulated more than 4\,000 songs to his credit and continues to thrill sold-out audiences around the world with his high tenor voice\, impeccable timing\, and profound sense of lyric.” \n\n–HardRock Casino – Northern Indiana (2/27/2023) \n  \nTicketing Information – TicketMaster  \n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Fearsome Fable - Tolerable Truth - Climate Follies
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition: Fearsome Fable – Tolerable Truth – Climate Follies: A collection of short plays \nSaturday\, April 22\, 6pm – 8pm \nIn the interactive installation\, Fearsome Fable – Tolerable Truth\, Indiana-based artist Tom Torleumke makes a powerful statement on the wasteful nature of our relationship with the earth and envisions what an alternate future could be\, if we chose to embrace it.  Viewers are greeted by a contiguous mural of scenes depicting overpopulation and its resulting neglect and abuse of our natural resources. By physically engaging with and moving mural panels\, gallery visitors can change the view from a dilapidated wasteland on one side – to the reverse side’s pastel imagery of a brighter and healthier tomorrow. \n  \nFree Admission \n  \nIn town earlier\, feel free to also attend\nArtist Talk—Sunday\, March 26\, 2:30-3:30pm \n  \nOr join the Grand Opening Day on: \nMarch 17 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

SUMMARY:Maxwell at Hard Rock Casino - Northern indiana
DESCRIPTION:Must be 21 and over to attend. \n“Maxwell has artfully managed to transfix music lovers for more than two decades\, releasing five studio albums\, all in his own time and all duly anointed as classics. The soul singer redefined soul music in April of 1996 when he released his critically acclaimed debut on Columbia\, ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite.’ It earned Grammy nominations\, double platinum status and RIAA gold for the single\, “Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder).” The platinum albums ‘Embrya’ (1998) and ‘Now’ (2001) followed. After eight years\, 2009’s ‘BLACKsummers’night’ debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won two Grammys\, including Best R&B Album. To date\, Maxwell has achieved 4 platinum album certifications from the RIAA. His last album ‘blackSUMMERS’night\,’ the second installment of his musical trilogy\, earned Maxwell his third Grammy (Best R&B Song for “Lake By The Ocean”) an NAACP Image Award (Outstanding Male Artist)\, and a Soul Train Award (Best R&B/Soul Male Artist). Recently honored with the “Legend” Award at the 2021 Soul Train Awards\, Maxwell’s upcoming ‘blacksummers’NIGHT’ will cap off a journey he first embarked upon over a decade ago as one of the most-anticipated R&B events of 2022. \n” \n–Hard Rock Casino – Northern Indiana main page ( 2/27/2023) \n  \nTicketing Information – TicketMaster  \n
