New Show at The Riviera! Confessions of a Rock Star staring Pat DiNizio!

Pat DiNizio, who gained fame as lead singer of The Smithereens, announces the launch of his latest project, an in-depth look into his journey from garbage man to platinum selling artist, entitled Confessions of a Rock Star at Riviera Hotel & Casino. The production is a hybrid of a one-man show, rock concert and multimedia event currently happening six nights a week Wednesdays – Mondays (dark Tuesdays) beginning at 7 p.m.

Confessions of a Rock Star covers DiNizio’s 32-year career in rock and roll and pays homage to his musical heroes, including Buddy Holly and The Beatles. A live band performs the hits that shaped DiNizio’s childhood and all of the chart-topping songs that he sang with The Smithereens. Video screens showcasing rare film footage and photos accompany the musical journey from small town life in New Jersey to rock and roll stardom.

The Smithereens hit the rock charts with “Blood and Roses,” Behind the Wall of Sleep,” “Only a Memory” and “A Girl Like You”. The band recently released their 20th album, Smithereens 2011, which has spawned the hit radio singles “Sorry” and “One Look at You”.
