Country Singing Star Jo Dee Messina Plays One Night at John Ascuaga’s Nugget

Multiple No. 1 hits and a series of popular albums, including some pop cross-over success, has propelled Jo Dee Messina in to the music-scene forefront. See Jo Dee Messina in the Celebrity Showroom, July 30, at John Ascuaga’s Nugget. Part of country music's late-'90s crop of female crossover stars, Messina's appeal nonetheless remained more with country fans than pop audiences. It seems like it only took a few short years for Messina to rise to the elite ranks of female country artists who headline their own tours. The truth is, however, that Messina has been singing and plugging away since her early teens, determined to be nothing else but a country music star. She sang in musical plays starting at age eight but discovered country music at age 12 and got hooked on the likes of the Judds, Reba McEntire, and Dolly Parton. She soon started performing live, and by 16 she was playing local clubs with a rhythm section made up of her brother and sister. At age 19, she moved to Nashville in search of greater exposure and sang regularly for prize money in local talent competitions. One win led to a regular gig on the radio show Live at Libby's, which in turn caught the interest of producer Byron Gallimore, who helped her assemble a demo tape. Gallimore was also working with the young Tim McGraw around the same time, and Messina befriended him. Backstage at one of his concerts, Messina met an executive from his label, Curb, and jokingly suggested that they needed a redhead. Producer James Stroud, who had just heard Messina's demo, stepped up to vouch for her, and she soon wound up on Curb, with Gallimore and McGraw serving as her producers. Messina's self-titled debut album was released in 1996 and gave her two Top Ten hits in "Heads Carolina, Tails California" and "You're Not in Kansas Anymore." The album sold well, setting the stage for Messina's star-making sophomore effort, I'm Alright. Released in 1998, it made Messina the first female country artist to score three multiple-week number one hits from the same album: "Bye Bye," "I'm Alright," and "Stand Beside Her." She nearly had a fourth, but "Lesson in Leavin'" stalled at number two. Honored by both the CMA and ACM in 1999, Messina staked out even pop-friendlier territory on her third album, 2000's Burn. It became her first number one album, and the lead single, "That's the Way," her fourth number one single. Two more Top Tens followed in "Burn" and "Downtime," and a fourth single, the Tim McGraw duet "Bring on the Rain," also topped the charts, helping Burn sell over a million copies. Messina followed it with the holiday album A Joyful Noise in late 2002, and just months later, with only three albums to her credit, Curb released a Greatest Hits compilation. In 2005 she released her official follow-up to Burn, called Delicious Surprise, with Unmistakable coming in 2010. Jo Dee Messina plays one night, July 30, in the Celebrity Showroom at 8 p.m. Tickets are just $50 and are available by calling (800) 648-1177 or (775) 356-3300 or by visiting janugget.com. Dinner and show packages are available. Back to top

American Idol Stars Stop by Silver Legacy on National Tour

Two stars of American’s most dynamic TV singing showcase are back in the spotlight, making a stop at Silver Legacy Resort Casino on a new national tour. American Idol Season 2 legends Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard are taking the stage together once again for the “Timeless” tour, coming up on Saturday, July 31 in the Grande Exposition Hall at 8 p.m. In the seven years since their reality television debut, Aiken and Studdard have come a long way. Aiken recently released his fifth studio album, “Tried and True,” an ensemble of songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s that Aiken grew up listening to ask a child in Raleigh, North Carolina. Studdard released his fourth album, “Love IS” on May 19. The collection of love songs is a mix of both classic hits and original music like the album’s first single, “Together,” which reached Top 15 on the Urban AC charts. After American Idol, Aiken has gone on to sell more than six million copies of his four albums worldwide: the double-platinum “Measure of A Man,” 2004's platinum holiday CD “Merry Christmas With Love,” 2006's gold-certified “A Thousand Different Ways,” and 2008's “On My Way Here.” All of the albums debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard chart.. Both Aiken and Studdard have also found their way into musical theatre. In January 2008, Aiken made his Broadway debut in the role of Sir Robin in the Tony Award-winning musical Monty Python's “Spamalot.” Studdard also took to the stage, starring in a 30th anniversary production of the Fats Waller musical, “Ain’t Misbehavin’.” Studdard also made an immediate impact after his American Idol win. His single “Flying Without Wings” debuted at No. 2 on the Hot 100 while his version of “Superstar” peaked at No. 2 on the R&B chart. In December 2003, his first album, “Soulful,” had advance orders of over a million copies, automatically qualifying for platinum certification. His next album, “I Need An Angel,” topped Billboard’s gospel chart and was the magazine’s No. 1 Gospel Album of the Year. His third album, “The Return,” peaked at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 and No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The first single, “Change Me,” spent an impressive eight weeks at No. 1 on the Adult R&B list. While they may be better known as names on modern pop charts, these two crooners and good friends are using their “Timeless” tour to perform renditions of classic hits of the last five decades. Crowds will be delighted to hear Studdard and Aiken revitalize songs they truly have a passion for singing. Reserve your tickets to see Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard on stage together again for the “Timeless” tour in Silver Legacy’s Grande Exposition Hall on Saturday, July 31 at 8 p.m. Seats are available from $40, $50 and $65.

Local Stars of World Famous TV Show Sail into Silver Legacy

Two Tahoe ski bums turned world famous crab fishermen are setting sail to visit fans at Silver Legacy Resort Casino! Straight off the F/V Wizard, Captains Keith and Monte Colburn are headed back to their roots after filming the latest season of the famous cable reality show on Alaskan King Crab fishing! Keith and Monte moved from the Lake Tahoe area to Alaska just over 20 years ago, not knowing what they’d find. Keith was immediately lured to crabbing by the thought of a daring job on the sea and rumors of making big money. Two years later, Monte decided to follow his older brother north. Now, these two local boys spend their winters hunting for king crab on the Bearing Sea rather than for fresh powder on the Sierra ski slopes. Little did they know they’d soon be stars of a hit TV show documenting the treacherous lives of Alaskan king crab fishermen. Fans will have a chance to see Keith and Monte in person on Saturday, July 31 right here at Silver Legacy. A special autograph session open to all ages will be held outside Rum Bullions Island Bar from 4 to 6 p.m. In honor of Keith and Monte’s visit, Silver Legacy is also offering seafood specials in all our restaurants from July 30 to August 1.

Music at The Brew Brothers Helps Raise $23,500 for Non-Profits

A recent concert series played inside the Eldorado Hotel Casino has raised more than $23,500 for local non-profit groups. The “Spring Forward by Paying It Forward” campaign, organized by local radio station 100.9 KRZQ, wrapped up its concerts at The Brew Brothers restaurant last week. For the benefit local bands raised money by playing free concerts at various venues across the Reno-Sparks area and organized different service projects throughout the community. The Brew Brothers restaurant inside the Eldorado dedicated its stage to participating bands each Wednesday night during the three month event. On top of that, 10% of the beer sales from each concert were also donated to the “Spring Forward” campaign. In all, $23,523 was raised for three area non-profit organizations—the SPCA or Northern Nevada, Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and The Children’s Cabinet. The bands also helped each with community service projects, such as park clean-ups, volunteering at the SPCA Shelter and painting the Children’s Cabinet drop-in youth center.
