Upcoming Entertainment at Casinos

NIAGARA FALLS and SALAMANCA, NY – Just a few weeks after announcing a blockbuster lineup of entertainment for the spring, Seneca Casinos now delivers even more excitement for the coming months. Additional performers for February through June include Bobby Vinton, Rita Coolidge, Jim Messina, Grand Funk Railroad, Tommy Roe, Colin Hay and Sylvia Browne.

Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel welcomes back romantic crooner Bobby Vinton less than a year after a full-house performance at Seneca Niagara Events Center in March 2011. Dubbed “the all-time most successful love singer of the Rock Era” by Billboard magazine, Vinton is most famous for his hits “Roses are Red,” “Blue Velvet,” “Sealed with a Kiss” and “Mr. Lonely.” He makes his return on February 4 at 8 p.m., and tickets starting at $30 go on sale December 21 at noon.

Seneca Allegany Events Center welcomes two-time GRAMMY® award-winning singer Rita Coolidge for a 7 p.m. show on February 11. Known particularly for 1970s chart-topping rock, pop and R&B covers such as “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher & Higher,” “We’re All Alone” and “One Fine Day,” Coolidge has since taken a liking to jazz standards with her recent release, And So Is Love. Tickets go on sale December 19 at noon and start at $20.

Coming to the cozy 440-seat Bear’s Den Showroom at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel on March 9 is one of the music industry’s ultimate “utility performers,” Jim Messina. Tickets start at $50 and are on sale now. The singer, writer, guitarist, producer and engineer worked with a variety of groups such as Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and Loggins & Messina – performing and mixing everything from country to light rock.

Grand Funk Railroad rides the “Locomotion” into Seneca Allegany Events Center on March 10 for a 7 p.m. show. The high-energy band was one of the top rock acts of the 1970s, and hits like “We’re An American Band” and “Some Kind of Wonderful” still play on the airwaves today. Tickets start at $20 and go on sale December 18 at noon.

Pop-rock singer Tommy Roe will play two shows inside the Bear’s Den on April 14. Two of Roe’s singles reached No. 1 on the music charts in the 1960s: “Sheila” and “Dizzy.” Tickets start at $40 for the 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. performances, and go on sale February 13 at noon.

The lead singer, guitarist and main songwriter of 1980s mega-band Men at Work – Colin Hay – performs at the Bear’s Den on May 12. Tickets go on sale March 12 and start at $35. Hay is the voice behind rock anthems “Down Under” and “Who Can It Be Now?” The Scottish-Australian musician has continued to perform on his own since Men at Work’s breakup in 1985, and released his 11th solo album, Gathering Mercury, earlier this year.

A veritable “regular” to Seneca Casinos – renowned author and psychic Sylvia Browne – is lined up for an early summer appearance at Seneca Allegany Events Center. Browne last visited Seneca Allegany in August 2009 and also traveled to Seneca Niagara in March 2009 and May 2010. A sell-out is a good prediction for the show, as she is a hit with Seneca Casinos’ guests. Tickets for Browne’s 7 p.m. performance start at $30 and go on sale April 2.

In addition to the just-announced acts, Seneca Niagara Casino announces a date change for the Englebert Humperdinck concert in May at Seneca Niagara Events Center. The show is moved back one day from Saturday, May 19, to Friday, May 18. The time is still 8 p.m., and tickets starting at $45 will go on sale February 20 at noon.
