It's happening at Atlantic City Hotels and Casinos

The Borgata in Atlantic City has been home to a great many unique musical stars. Soon, the magic of two very diverse and brilliant sounds will be coming to together in one show. This, of course, refers to the upcoming jam session that will feature Matisyahu and SOJA.

Born in West Chester, PA in 1979, Matthew Paul Miller has taken his Hebrew name Matisyahu as his stage name. He is quickly recognizable by his original blending of traditional Jewish music with other musical genres such as hip hop, rock, and, surprisingly, Reggae. Then again, the surprise he should not even be a surprise. Reggae remains a very inclusive musical style that can amend to various different approaches. Matisyahu has definitely proven this to be true through his stunning approach that has amassed scores of fans throughout the world.

SOJA is short for Soldiers of Jam Army and it is comprised of a collection of long time friends that have formed one of the best of the modern Reggae bands on the world scene. While Reggae is sometimes denied mainstream success, there are those Reggae musicians that have the ability to draw the attention of traditional top 40 listeners. SOJA definitely has such ability and this is evidenced through the significant success they have attained.

While it is always nice to listen to these performers on your MP3 player, it is a much better proposition to see them live. Now, you can see them together on stage in the very intimate setting that has been provided by the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City. Fans of Reggae and pop music in general will discover this to be a completely unforgettable experience that is sure to be much different from traditional performances seen at most music venues.

When Matisyahu and SOJA join on stage to jam together, the experience is a departure from common set performances. Both understand the need for pacing and for the ability to build audience expectations. The early portion of their performance often centers on slow music and then builds to a more rousing finale. This leaves audiences both satisfied and wanting to experience more. That certainly does sound like an audience that has been thoroughly entertained by the performance. Those that want an insight into how these entertainers deliver a live show should definitely check out some of the live performance CDs and DVDs. Then again, to truly experience what they are offering seeing these great performers at the Borgata are advised.

Saturday November 28, 2009 is the date you need to mark on your calendar as this will be when the show rolls into the Music Box at the Borgata. Purchase your tickets now and avoid being disappointed by a sellout.

Those in close vicinity to the Atlantic City, NJ reason have something to celebrate. The legendary Julio Iglesias is coming to Caesar’s Circus Maximus theater. This will be a rare chance to see a legendary superstar in an amazingly intimate setting.

There are very few entertainers that can claim the mantel of success that Julio Iglesias has achieved. While some entertainers enjoy a very brief period of success at the top of their game, Julio Iglesias reached the top of the music world and has stayed there for over two decades. And, of course, the reason for this is that he is a stunningly talented individual that never ceases to deliver the crowd pleasing performances he has long since become known for.

You could say that Julio Iglesias entered into the realm of music almost by accident. He won a songwriting contest in 1968 and this is what set the stage for his eventual superstardom. He signed onto the Spanish wing of Columbia Records and this led to a series of successful albums that appeared in Europe and Latin America. His success in the English speaking world was launched in 1978 when he signed on with CBS International Records. His album sales far exceeded expectations and Iglesias became a star on a worldwide basis.

Even more stunning was his longevity. For a full decade, his album sales were well into the millions as he scored numerous multi-platinum hit singles and albums. (Well, they are CDs now…and they are still selling) For many, Julio Iglesias was the romantic pop song superstar of the 1980s. While this may be true, it would not be accurate to pigeonhole his success as that of an “80′s” superstar. His success lasted well into the 1990s as he not only experienced excellent album/CD sales, but 1998 also saw him nominated for a Grammy Award. Now, Julio Iglesias is entering his third decade as a singer and even at the age of 66 he shows no signs of slowing down.

However, his touring schedule is not as vast as it once was and this means fans have fewer opportunities to see their favorite singer in person. This spring, those that live in Tri-State area can take advantage of Harrah’s/Caesar’s Atlantic City presenting this legend on stage. The actual dates he will appear are May 2nd and May 3rd. These events are sure to sell out and that is why booking as far in advance as possible is so highly recommended.

This great entertainer will be performing all his amazing hits from every decade he has performed. This will surely make for an unforgettable event so don’t miss it.

Most people know that it is Christmas time by the decorated trees, the falling snow, and the cheerful music that seems to play everywhere.

Inebriated he does such a wonderful job as Santa the Macy’s offers him the Santa position for the New York City store, which happens to be on 34th street.

While the intention of Santa is to drive more parents to Macy’s for their holiday shopping Santa advises a young woman to go to another store to find the fire truck she wanted to get her son. This happens with a few other customers as well. You can’t forget the plight of the well meaning attorney that takes his neighbor girl to see Santa at Macy’s, and her mother gets upset with the neighbor for filling her daughter’s heads with silly fantasies and make believe.

While many have seen black and white version of the movie, it can now also be seen in color.

In 1994 there was a remake of the classic that starred Edmund Gwenn as Santa and Maureen O’Hara as the kind supervisor that decides to give Kris another shot at playing Santa. In the newer version of the movie Richard Attenborough, Mara Wilson, Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott grace the screen breathing new life into a holiday classic.

To understand why Charlie Prose is such an influential man, it is important to understand exactly where he came from. It all started at a grocery store that was run by his father, and the other members of his family. He was thirteen years of age when the salesman entered the store and showed him the old saxophone. It didn’t take long for him to obtain it and within two weeks, he’d learned to play the saxophone well enough to start his own band.

That was the beginning, and as you can see, it’s not exactly a humble beginning. When someone has a gift, it is his or her obligation to share it with the rest of the world, and that’s exactly what Charlie Prose did. Ever since then, even to this day Charlie Prose has been giving liver performances, making people laugh and live a little. It is even said that the fans feel as if they have a personal relationship with him. How many entertainers out there can pull that off?

Continuing the tradition, on December 4, 2009 through December 6, 2009 on Friday, 9 pm, Saturday, 8 pm and Sunday, 3 pm one can see Charlie Prose perform with David Grayson at Trump Plaza. The entry fee is $35 and a good time is guaranteed to be had by all.

For the past thirteen years, Charlie Prose has performed at Atlantic City, and so far, it’s been the longest running holiday show there. He provides clean humor, which is something that you don’t see much anymore. On top of that, it’s enjoyable humor. It’s been a while since someone was able to deliver a funny like without making a sexual reference or uttering a curse word. So when you hear the name Charlie Prose, you know it’s safe to take your entire family along.

The show is sold out every year, and this year in New Jersey should be no different. Though it seems that mostly senior citizens enjoy his routine, it’s clear that anyone can sit back and enjoy this light heated humor.

For those of you who don’t know, Trump Plaza is located below pacific avenue near the beach. It should be easy to find, and if you cannot, just ask a city official where the Charlie Prose show is! There’s no doubt that someone will be able to point you to it.

Are you ready for a night of fun filled laughter? Are you ready to have an enjoyable holiday? If so then reserve your tickets now, before they’re sold out! Make the call, write a letter, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure you get in!
