Cannery Casino End of Summer Bash

Closes Out the Season with a Rockin’ Good Time

LAS VEGAS – The Cannery Casino & Hotel says goodbye to summer with the End of Summer Bash featuring musical acts and loads of food, drinks and fun. The festival will take place Saturday, August 30 beginning at 4 p.m. at The Club. The musical line-up includes Gary U.S. Bonds, Booker T of Booker T and the MG’s, Chris Montez and Bryan Highland.

Tickets to the End of Summer Bash are free and are available to the public at the Cannery Casino & Hotel’s ticket sales counter located at the front desk.

The End of Summer Bash has something for everyone to enjoy. In addition to the musical line-up, there will be plenty of tasty food and ice cold drinks available. Vendors will be selling items like clothing, accessories and rock n’ roll memorabilia. The festival also features a free car show open to all makes of cars and trucks.

As American baby boomers moved into their mid-teens, Gary Anderson began his professional career. His first hit, “New Orleans,” brought attention to the record by having promotional copies sent to the radio stations in sleeves inscribed “Buy U.S. Bonds” – hence his new name, Gary U.S. Bonds. Bonds followed-up with the now legendary record, “Quarter to Three,” a number one hit with a spirit and energy that inspired and influenced a generation. Bonds’ other hits include “Dear Lady Twist,” “Twist, Twist Senora” and “Seven Day Weekend.”

Booker T. Jones is a legendary performer, producer and songwriter perhaps best known for the million-selling instrumental, “Green Onions” recorded by Jones and the MG’s. His career highlights also include recording with everyone from Otis Redding, Ray Charles and Wilson Pickett to Bob Dylan, Boz Scaggs and Barbra Streisand. In 2007, Jones was named a Lifetime Achievement Grammy® Award recipient for his work with Booker T and the MG’s.

Chris Montez was influenced by his Hispanic culture and the rock ‘n roll success of Richie Valens. In 1962, Montez’s single, “Let’s Dance” hit the top 10. In 1965, with three years of touring behind him, Montez released “The More I See You,” “There Will Never Be Another You,” “Call Me” and “Time After Time.” Through the years, Montez has continued to grow as an artist and focused on his own compositions. His confidence in his music gives him the freedom to integrate the unique influence of his Hispanic culture and rich rhythm and blues style into his own personal hit making musical interpretations.

Bryan Highland was one of several young American teen idol recording artists whose clean-cut image and sound thrived in the early 1960s, prior to the stylistic changes brought about through the British Invasion led by The Beatles. In 1960, Hyland scored his first and biggest hit single, “Itsy Bitsy Tennie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.” The song hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Hyland’s other major hit during that period was 1962’s “Sealed with a Kiss.” That song, which remains a perennial oldies radio standard, reached number three in 1962 on both the American and United Kingdom singles charts.
