Message from Kelly Clinton
I'm still not over last Monday night at my Open Mic Cabaret at the Bootlegger!!
We had so many amazing singers and musicians! Topping the night off were celebrity guest performances by Jimmy Hopper who will be appearing in the showroom at the Aliante this month; Gordie Brown riffed with impressions while the incomparable Clint Holmes sang...it was quite a duet. Television star, recording artist, and now real life Minister, Clifton Davis was back with his beautiful wife Monica and family. Clifton gave an awesome performance of the hit tune he wrote "Never Can Say Goodbye." The song was a huge hit for The Jackson Five! And....Billy Hinsche of The Beach Boys --and Dino, Desi, & Billy, gave a terrific performance of the song, "KoKomo." !!!! Wow!!!!!
Several singers who appeared in the Cabaret for the first time were Valita, from the Stone City Band, Perry Povone, a Frank Sinatra tribute artist, and guitarist, Perry Maymon.
Other terrific entertainers who have graced our stage before were also on hand to perform for us:
Lucie Knight, Elisa Furr, Tymara Smith, Lisa Gay, Yvonne Silva, Lannie Counts, Martin Mancuso, George Dare,
Patty Powers, David Marinelli, "Dirty Shooz" Frank Faugno, "Lady Day" Janicey Brar, and Rachel Jackson.
