Macy Gray
Where: Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa
Date: 2007-09-15 21:00:00
Type:
Macy Gray's hit single, 'I Try,' introduced listeners to a different kind of female voice -- carefree, deep and somewhat raspy but beautiful nonetheless. Her sophomore effort, 'The Id,' is an edgy follow up to her debut CD, 'On How Life Is.' Emerging from London's Acid Jazz scene in the late eighties, Brand New Heavies debut on record came in 1991; mixing soulful instrumentals and funk driven rhythms into a sonic brew, topped with vocalist N'Dia Davenport's contributions.
Anita Baker
Where: Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort
Date: 2007-08-18 20:00:00
Type:
With her classy, refined brand of romantic soul, Anita Baker earned her place as one of the definitive quiet storm singers of the '80s. Gifted with a strong, supple alto, Baker was influenced not only by R&B, but jazz, gospel and traditional pop, which gives her music a distinctly adult sophistication. Smooth and mellow, but hardly lifeless, she continues to be one of the most popular romantic singers around. Anthony Hamilton weaves rock 'n' roll with R&B to produce a seamless performance.
Beyonce
Where: Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort
Date: 2007-08-11 20:00:00
Type:
The Grammy-winning Beyonce Knowles shot to fame as one-third of Destiny's Child and has enjoyed a successful solo career. She also starred in last year's 'Dreamgirls.' 'The Beyonce Experience' showcases the international music and film star, along with her sizzling all-female band. They'll perform musical hits, classics and surprises in a newly created high-tech, state-of-the-art concert environment. Beyonce will be joined by R&B star Robin Thicke.
Cary Brothers

Type:
With his heartfelt, melodic songs influenced by everything from '80s British New Wave to '70s folk, Nashville native Cary Brothers has achieved critical and commercial success with his independent releases "All The Rage" and "Waiting For Your Letter," both of which hit the top of the iTunes Folk charts.

Type:
As the mastermind behind Parliament Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&B in the '70s, drawing on acid rock, soul and funk and laying the groundwork for hip-hop. He is a true genius of modern music and his concerts are legendary.

Matchbox Twenty
Where: Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa

Type:
Formed in 1996 Matchbox Twenty gained strength as one of the hottest groups in the late 90s with their debut 'Yourself or Someone Like You.' After a hiatus of about seven years, the band returns to the stage to support their new compilation, 'Exile on Mainstream.'
Johnny Maestro & the Brooklyn Bridge
Where: Count Basie Theatre
Date: 2008-03-14 19:30:00
Type:
Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge will perform such hits as 'Welcome My Love,' 'Blessed is the Rain,' 'Your Husband, My Wife' and 'The Worst That Could Happen.' Among today's great vocal pop musicians, Kenny Vance and The Planotones have voices of original and inviting dimension. The group redefines oldies with vocal authority and freshness. Their material is influenced by the music of the '50s and '60s, and they consistently bring a unique and musically sophisticated point of view to the ever changing musical landscape. It was more than 30 years after the debut of their first big hit, 'Tonight I Fell In Love,' when they re-emerged on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart in August of 1994, following the re-release of their chart topping single, 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight.' With that re-entry comes the distinction of having the second-longest chart span in the rock era.
