FREE Concert W/Spin Doctors & Cherry Poppin' Daddies Coming Up At Fremont Street Experience

Fremont Street Experience is bringing you a night of unforgettable music with a free concert featuring Spin Doctors & Cherry Poppin' Daddies.

This double-header of hit-making talent happens on our 1st Street stage.

Spin Doctors are best known for two hits with irresistible melodies, "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong."

The band formed in New York City in the late 1980s, with their first album, Up for Grabs Live, released in 1991. Their first studio album, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, came out shortly after.

Follow-up albums included Turn It Upside Down (1994), You've Got to Believe in Something (1996), Here Comes the Bride (1999), Nice Talking to Me (2005) and If the River Was Whiskey (2013).

Spin Doctors features Chris Barron (vocals), Eric Schenkman (guitar), Aaron Comess (drums) and Mark White (bass guitar).

Also on the bill for our free Rock in Vegas concert on Aug. 1, 2015 is Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.

The distinctive band rose to the forefront of the neo-swing movement with their two million-selling "Zoot Suit Riot."

Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, originally formed in Oregon, mix together swing, rockabilly, jazz, ska and pop to create an unmistakable, crowd-pleasing sound all their own.

Their 1997 "Zoot Suit Riot" sold more than two million copies, and the album that spawned it cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard 200, the first of the era's swing revival to do so.

Cherry Poppin' Daddies includes founding members Steve Perry, also known as "MC Large Drink" (lead vocals), Dan Schmid (bass guitar) and Dana Heitman (trumpet).

With a sound both energetic and novel, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies are set to bring a whole new swing to Fremont Street Experience.

Go PETCO! They Donate $25K To Restore Coral Reefs

Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF) today announced Petco will donate $25,000 in support of its work to restore critically endangered coral reefs. The donation will help to protect and restore coral reefs throughout the Florida Keys.

“We know Petco is committed to building a better world for people and pets, and we’re proud to be a new recipient of the company’s support,” said Martha Roesler, Chief Development Officer for CRF. “This generous donation will help our efforts to restore reefs that provide habitat for 25 percent of our planet’s aquatic life.”

Petco is an advocate for reef conservation and reef and marine life aquaculture initiatives. Today, most of the company’s freshwater fish and all of its marine corals are aquacultured, meaning they are captive-bred and not taken from the ocean’s reefs.

“At Petco, we’re committed to responsible marine life practices and we’re proud to support the Coral Restoration Foundation,” said Marcie Whichard, Petco’s VP of Industry and Public Affairs. “We applaud the work CRF is doing to safeguard one of our planet's most precious resources - our Coral Reefs.”

Ready To Rock? George Thorogood & The Destroyers Coming To Sunset Station

Rock legend George Thorogood & The Destroyers will return to Las Vegas for a special performance at the Sunset Amphitheater at Sunset Station on Saturday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. Located poolside at Sunset Station, the Sunset Amphitheater is the perfect destination for a concert experience under the stars. Tickets for George Thorogood & The Destroyers go on sale Friday, June 19 at 10 a.m.

Tickets to George Thorogood & The Destroyers are $23.50, $33.50, $38.50, $50 and $60 plus tax and applicable fees and are available for purchase Friday, June 19 at 10 a.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. and guests under 21 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets can be purchased at any Station Casinos Reward Center and The Fiestas, by logging onto www.sclv.com/concerts or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

In 1973, a barely-out-of-his-teens Wilmington guitarist piled his gear into the drummer’s Chevy van to play their very first gig at a University of Delaware dorm. More than four decades, 8,000 live shows and some 15 million albums sold worldwide later, that same maverick guitar-slinger is still making electrifying music, still thrilling audiences and still the most bad-to-the-bone performer in rock.

For George and his longtime band – Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – their new Badder Than Ever Tour is indestructible proof that staying true to yourself and the music can still mean something. And with a catalog of classics that includes “Who Do You Love,” “I Drink Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” “Bad To The Bone” and more, being able to share it with audiences is what will always matter.

Surprisingly, Thorogood began his career as a solo acoustic act. George called high-school friend and drummer Jeff Simon and with the addition of a bass player – as well as Jeff’s van – the electric trio soon graduated from basement rehearsals to local gigs.

Their self-titled and now-classic debut would soon be certified Gold. And for audiences and radio alike, the band instantly embodied – and continues to define – powerhouse rock with bar band roots, unchained attitude and a fierce love of its country, blues and R&B history. Over the course of sixteen studio albums (including six Gold and two Platinum discs), they would storm the charts by putting their own stamp on nuggets by Hank Williams, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James and more, while simultaneously delivering hit GT originals that crackle with humor and swagger.
