Véronic DiCaire Is August Charity Partner For Local "Lend Your Voice" Fundraiser

Vocal impressionist Véronic DiCaire has announced Keep Memory Alive, supporting the mission of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, as the August  charity partner for “Lend Your Voice,”  her monthly awareness-building and fundraising effort for selected local nonprofits.  During her performances from August 14 through August 31 at the Jubilee Theater at Bally’s Las Vegas, Véronic will collect audience donations and provide information on KMA’s mission from the powerful podium that is her stage.

“The ‘Lend Your Voice’ initiative is based on the idea that we – as entertainers – can use our stages as platforms for good,” said Véronic. “We’ve already raised thousands of dollars for some worthy nonprofits and are happy to keep it going with Keep Memory Alive. KMA is such a beautiful organization that supports the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health with its mission to improve the lives of patients and their families dealing with the challenges of brain disorders, and this month we dedicate our shows to them.”

Keep Memory Alive is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that was created to increase awareness and raise funds for the research, management and treatment of brain disorders. It supports the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, which treats patients with Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's disease, as well as frontotemporal dementia and multiple sclerosis. The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health's treatment programs are designed to provide excellent care and to respect the dignity of patients and their families. Research helps to advance Cleveland Clinic's groundbreaking clinical trials and offers hope for improving brain health. For more information on Keep Memory Alive, along with informational videos, visit their website.

The “Lend Your Voice” fundraising initiative was launched in May upon Véronic’s 2014 return to her headlining show, co-produced by Celine Dion, at Bally’s Las Vegas. Each month, a new charity partner will be announced and the nature of the partnership decided.

Reggae Artist Yelloman Reschedules Concert In Vegas! Tix Available!

Smash Magazine announces reggae artist Yellowman at Backstage Bar & Billiards (601 E. Fremont. St. Las Vegas) has been rescheduled to Friday, September 26 at 8:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. doors.  All tickets for the original August 11 show will be honored or patrons can request a refund at point of purchase.  Tickets for Yellowman and supporting artists Ras Kronik and Najja Dread are still available for $16 in advance, $21 day of show, plus any service charges. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.smashmagazine.com or www.ticketfly.com.   The show is 21+ with valid ID.

Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles the he overcame to go on to become, at one time, the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley.

After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston, Yellowman went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellowman an instant hit in Jamaica. He also began to work with the Ace Sound System in St. Thomas, drawing big crowds at his dancehall performances. He was known to spread out and work for a number of different producers, sometimes releasing as many as five albums per year, leading to a recording contract with CBS Records.  Yellowman recorded one album with them before he was diagnosed with jaw cancer and was given six months to live in 1986. After surgery an extended leave of absence from the record industry, Yellowman began his comeback with the song “Blueberry Hill,” and his career was re-launched. “Yellow Like Cheese,” his first album for RAS, was the beginning of what would be a long and fruitful relationship with RAS and Yellowman.


While Yellowman has often made as many enemies as fans with his controversial, often overtly sexist lyrics, he remains one of the most respected and professional artists in the reggae world.  Outliving his cancer prognosis and continuing to dominate the reggae scene with incredibly lively performances, Yellowman now emerges singing at a slightly slower pace, but with witticisms as cheeky, spirited and intelligent as ever, and delivered with his customary sharp, melodic style.
