Sports Illustrated Model in Las Vegas!!

SPOTTED at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas: Sports Illustrated model Christine Teigen (and John Legend’s girlfriend) unwound at Reliquary Spa and enjoyed a facial and a massage on Tuesday. The next day, she stopped by BrannonHair.

Sha Na Na is now at The Southpoint Casino! Rock n Roll!!

Meet the one of the original Greasers!!

Jocko, now in his fifth decade with Sha Na Na, was the first to walk onstage “greased and ready to rock ‘n’ roll” in 1969. That same year, at age nineteen he appeared with the group at The Woodstock Festival. He holds the distinction along with fellow Sha Donny of performing in both the most successful music documentary ever (Woodstock) and the most successful rock & roll film musical ever (Grease). Juggling his schedule around his touring, Jocko earned both a B.A. from Columbia and a Masters in Drama from New York University!

I Love Las Vegas Magazine had a chance to chat with Jocko and yes it is true he loves Rock n Roll!

When asked What do you really like about playing in Las Vegas – “Las Vegas is on the great areas of rock n roll! They seem to just love good ole rock n roll!”
Also some of his favorite songs to perform onstage are “Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley and also “Lucille” by Little Richard.

What is on his Ipod or what does Jocko like to listen to? “The blues and jazz and just about everything!” But he did mention that he enjoys the Foo Fighters and Michael Ruble! A well rounded musician that enjoys all types of music!

Sha Na Na may not have invented rock nostalgia, but the group has successfully – very successfully – celebrated the music and the memories for the past four decades… in concert, in the movies and on TV, and on record.

Sha Na Na's story is an all-encompassing one: they were in the original Woodstock Festival lineup, starred in "Grease", hosted the "Sha Na Na" TV series for four years, and still play more than 50 concerts a year, from state fairs, performing art centers, casino showrooms to mega corporate functions world wide.

And through it all – flower power, hard rock, metal music, disco, hip hop, rap and more – Sha Na Na remains true to the original concept: rock 'n' roll is here to stay! The Sha Na Na story begins oddly for a group that, in appearance, runs the gamut from greaser to gold lame. Attired in turtleneck and blue blazers, the nucleus of Sha Na Na were undergraduate members of The Kingsmen, a glee club ensemble at New York's Columbia University that used to perform a cappella versions of 50s rock songs as part of the performances. These proved very popular and eventually rock 'n' roll took over, instruments were added and Sha Na Na – the name comes from the 50s Silhouettes' hit, "Get A Job" – was born.

GREASE still makes an impact for Sha Na Na…
Go and see them either tonight or tomorrow night at The Southpoint Casino where Jocko said that they will perform around 20 or something songs! Now that is a show!!
