It’s happening at Atlantic City Hotels and Casinos

Holmes appeared in Atlantic City in February after 15 years and was better than ever. Where have you been Clint?  We missed you!

If you are looking for great entertainment and you are a music lover, you just can’t miss the return of Clint Holmes in Atlantic City.  You may have been lucky enough to catch him in Harrahs last February.  If so, you know what a treat it is to see this amazing musician.  And what a show he puts on!  But if you were unable to see him then, here’s your chance because he’s coming back to Atlantic City and will be performing at the Hilton throughout April.

Clint Holmes is what casino showroom entertainment is all about and something that’s been missing in Atlantic City for a while.  Well, with Clint Holmes now on the scene, things are as they should be.

This six-piece band is full of energy (and lots of volume) and gets the audience rocking in no time, with songs like  “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”.  As a matter of fact, the band gets it going before the curtain even rises! Holmes sings some of the classics from Sammy Davis Jr., Sinatra, and Peter Allen, but makes it his own.

There is so much energy from the crowd and such an upbeat fun feeling that it becomes contagious and wonderfully exhilarating. One man who had seen the Holmes concert remarked,  “It’s the kind of thing that stays with you days after the show is over. Just fantastic.  Brought me back to a great place!” And Homes is having fun too. “It’s like coming home,” he says to the audience during his last concert.

For newcomers, Holmes tells a bit of his interesting background.  He was born in England in ’47.  His mother was a white English opera singer and his father was a black American soldier who played jazz. Music surrounded him growing up.  

Holmes is currently writing a semi-autobiographical musical “I Sing” for Broadway with bandleader/musical director/ college friend Bill Fayne. So at his concert, his fans are in for a special treat with a sneak preview several of the numbers. One song, “1944,” which is about two people meeting in London, is absolutely wonderful in every way a song should be. Holmes also does a medley of “The Rose” and “You Raise Me Up” that blows the crowd away.

Holmes is dancing and singing and moving around on that stage in a way that defies his 61 years. His sister, Gale also makes an appearance and lights things up a bit. It’s a 70-minute show that is nonstop and gives you everything you could possibly want in a show.

Many different polls have this song-and-dance man “Atlantic City’s Entertainer of the Year”, “Las Vegas’s best singer”, and “Best All-around Las Vegas Performer”. Welcome home, Clint Holmes!  It’s entertainers like you who make the music come alive for so many of us.  We thank you!  Please never stop!

Tickets for the Atlantic City even are on sale now.  Go online.  Hopefully, you’re not to late to be part of all the excitement.
