UPCOMING ENTERTAINMENT AT SENECA CASINOS: FEBRUARY 2012 UPDATE NIAGARA FALLS and SALAMANCA, NY – Seneca Casinos has filled out its spring entertainment lineup prior to the start of its exciting “Summer Rush” concert series. Upcoming entertainers just added for April and May at Seneca Allegany Events Center include comedian Bob Saget, country group Little Big Town and the hit Las Vegas show Sandy Hackett’s “The Rat Pack Is Back.” Also added are two April shows at the intimate Bear’s Den Showroom inside Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel: Lou Gramm of Foreigner fame and Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals. Although he is known for his roles on family-friendly television shows such as “Full House,” “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and “1 vs. 100,” Bob Saget is a no-limits type of comedian with plenty of adult content in his routine. He performs a stand-up comedy show for ages 21 and older at Seneca Allegany Events Center on Saturday, Apr. 14, at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $25 and go on sale Feb. 29 at noon. Modern-country sensation Little Big Town comes to Seneca Allegany Events Center for a Sunday early-evening performance on Apr. 29 at 5 p.m. The GRAMMY-nominated group’s most recent album, The Reason Why, includes the Gold-certified single “Little White Church” – which reached No. 6 on the Billboard U.S. Country charts. Tickets start at $35 and go on sale Feb. 27 at noon. Also coming to Seneca Allegany Events Center this May for five performances in three days is Sandy Hackett’s “The Rat Pack Is Back” – a hit show from Las Vegas. The show made its Seneca Casinos’ debut back in October with two successful performances at the Bear’s Den in Niagara Falls, and will now play in Salamanca on the following dates and
times: Friday, May 18, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, May 19, at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., and; Sunday, May 20, at 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Concert-goers will enjoy impressionists playing the roles of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop – as well as the backing sounds of The Shadows Orchestra. Tickets start at $20 for each show and go on sale Mar. 19 at noon. On Friday, Apr. 6, at 8 p.m., the Bear’s Den Showroom at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel will feature a legendary singer who typically plays at larger venues. Lou Gramm, the unmistakable vocalist from the rock group Foreigner, will deliver an up-close-and-personal performance in front of a maximum crowd of 440. Tickets start at $50 and are on sale now. With Foreigner, Gramm co-wrote and sang hits such as “Waiting for a Girl like You” and “Hot Blooded.” Gramm now performs solo tours, and his new group – the Lou Gramm Band – released a self-titled Christian rock album in 2009. Just added for the Bear’s Den Showroom on Friday, Apr. 27, at 8 p.m. is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group The Rascals – billed on tour as Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals. The soulful pop group scored three No. 1 hits in the 1960s with “Good Lovin’,” “Groovin’” and “People Got to Be Free.” Tickets start at $45 and go on sale Friday, Mar. 2, at noon.
