CLINT HOLMES SINGS THE MODERN AMERICAN SONGBOOK at the Suncoast Showroom 10/23-10/25

Returning to the Suncoast Showroom is Las Vegas legend Clint Holmes with a new show, Clint Holmes Sings the Modern American Songbook, musically directed by Bill Fayne, October 23, 24 and 25.
 
Holmes’ fans know him as more than just a singer. He’s famous for making every performance an original and captivating the audience with his signature style. For Clint Holmes Sings the Modern American Songbook, audiences can look forward to hearing Holmes sing a variety of songs from those he considers the greatest contemporary songwriters—Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder, among others. Holmes’ recent solo show at the Suncoast, An Evening of Romance with Clint Holmes, inspired his selections for this show, where he will also perform from his own popular songbook—songs that have long been associated with him throughout his career. This show has also inspired Clint to work on a new CD based on selections from the Modern American Songbook.
 
Among Holmes’ many recordings is the Top 10 smash hit “Playground In My Mind (My Name Is Michael).” His album Edges produced several standout songs, including the single “Feel Like Makin’ Love.”
 
Holmes continues to partner with long-time friends Susan Anton, Domenick Allen and Martin Nievera for a showcase of solo performances, duets and group numbers—the wildly popular Vocal Soup. The show debuted at the Suncoast Showroom in June to sell-out crowds and returns to the same venue September 25-27.
 
With a long history of entertaining audiences in Las Vegas, Clint is known for his six-year run in Clint Holmes at Harrah’s. Named Las Vegas’ “Best Singer” for four times and “Entertainer of the Year” three times by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Holmes’ fame stretches far beyond Southern Nevada. He was also Atlantic City’s “Entertainer of the Year” three times, and starred in Clint Holmes’ Sophisticated Rhythms, a dynamic stage show that traveled through music from the 1940s to the present. His 1996 critically acclaimed musical Comfortable Shoes, which opened in New Jersey, was a poignant and uplifting journey into Holmes’ interracial family’s struggle to find its identity. In 2002, an updated version of the musical opened at The Royal George Theatre in Chicago. Among the show’s rave reviews, the Chicago Tribune called it “a night of fully realized theatrical entertainment.”
 
In a career that began with an invitation from Joan Rivers to be her sidekick and announcer on The Late Show, Clint Holmes has proven himself as a well-respected performer, even earning the honor of being the featured performer at the Democratic National Convention on the evening of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential nomination. Also familiar to fans’ ears, Holmes was the voice of Lowenbrau Beer for four years.
