The Jan & Dean Show featuring Dean Torrence,

 

The Jan & Dean Show showcases the greatest hits of two classic California groups, Jan & Dean and The Beach Boys, as well as other great songs of the era, to present a well-crafted, vocally impressive, high-energy classic California beach party. Surviving Jan & Dean member, Dean Torrence, will have fans enjoying such songs as “Little Old Lady from Pasadena, “Dead Man’s Curve,” “I Get Around,” “Good Vibrations” and many more.

 

As one of the pioneers of surf music, Jan & Dean reached super stardom in the early 1960s. The duo have made their mark in music history, boasting an impressive 14 gold records, 16 Top 40 hits on the Billboard and Cash Box magazine charts and 26 chart records over an eight-year period. Their biggest hit “Surf City,” co-written by Jan & Dean and Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson, became the first “surf” record to reach #1 in the U.S.  

 

Opening for The Jan & Dean Show will be special guests, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real at 7 p.m.  As the son of legendary Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson has played with such icons as Neil Young and Bob Dylan. These influences helped Nelson in the development of his own personal, unique sound and style. Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real’s sound is reminiscent to traditional rock & roll combined with blues, psychedelia and country music. This past summer, the band released its debut album, Brando’s Paradise Session. 

 

 

Known for his foot stomping anthems and sentimental ballads, singer/songwriter, award winning producer, Aaron Tippin burst onto the country music scene in the early 1990s with his debut single and top 10 hit, “You’ve Got to Stand for Something.” Throughout his career, Tippin has earned five gold and one platinum album certification, charting more than 30 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including three #1 hits, “Kiss This,” “There Ain’t Nothing Wrong with the Radio” and “That’s as Close as I’ll Get to Loving You.” After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Tippin released the patriotic-themed song, “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly.” As his biggest crossover smash, the song reached #2 on the country charts and #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Most recently, Tippin released In Overdrive, an album dedicated to truck driving songs and launched his lifestyle initiative Aaron Tippin Nutrition.  

 

Local country act Third Town will open the show at 7 p.m. Last year, Third Town was featured on the sixth season of NBC’s Nashville Star, becoming a top 12 finalist. Currently, Third Town performs every Friday inside the Access Showroom at Aliante Station, as well as Saturdays at the Las Vegas Country Saloon.
