Best known as the the lead singer of the popular 1960s singing group The Supremes. Diana Ross wasn’t picked to become the group’s lead singer until Motown honcho Berry Gordy decided that the time was exactly right, and from then on he described the group as “Diana Ross and the Supremes.” From 1965 to 1969 the group had a string of #1 records. In late 1969 Gordy announced that Ross would be leaving the group for a solo career. In the third week of 1970 she played her last concert with The Supremes and started working with the songwriting team of Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Ross’ first two songs by the team reached #1 on both the pop and R&B charts, justifying her move. Prior to starting a family of her own, she won the title...

Donna Summer was the first female artist to have three number one singles in one year (“MacArthur Park”, “Hot Stuff” and “Bad Girls”) and she is the only artist to have three number one double albums in a row (Live And More, Bad Girls, and On The Radio). Over the years Donna has proven herself to be a consummate artist and songwriter – she has written or co-written many of her hits, and is currently writing a musical based on her life story.

Bruce In The USA is much more than just another tribute. This high-energy musical experience is a note-perfect and visually accurate recreation of a Bruce Springsteen & The E. St. Band show. From the World Famous “Legends In Concert” cast, played the Springsteen character for eight years, in their “full scale” Las Vegas show. The great success with “Legends” evolved his character into the Bruce In The USA show. His amazing portrayal of  “The Boss” (not to mention his jaw-dropping resemblance) is as close as you can get to see the real thing in concert. Backed by a strong, powerful Clarence “The Big Man” Clemence…and a smokin’ handed “Little Stevie”, Bruce In The USA takes this genre of performance art to a whole new level. Making...

Soul Solution, led by Pat Johnson with their unique line up broke the mold of the “traditional party band” and their brand of high energy interaction was something no one had seen before.

They have also performed at...
