Bonds’ “Last Blast of 2024” is a year-end celebration like no other
The Superstar Theater at Resorts Casino Hotel is set to host renowned Rock n’ Roll and R&B artist, Gary U.S. Bonds, for a can’t-miss performance on Saturday, December 28th at 8:00pm.
The “Last Blast of 2024” performance with special guests, the Eddie Testa Band, will feature iconic chart toppers such as “Quarter to Three,” “New Orleans,” and “This Little Girl is Mine,” along with some great holiday tunes. Tickets are $55, $45, $39 and $29, and are on sale now via ticketmaster.com.
Gary came roaring out of Norfolk, Virginia in 1960 with the relentless recording, “New Orleans.” Attention was brought to the record by having promotional copies sent to radio stations in sleeves inscribed “Buy U.S. Bonds” – hence at age 19, Gary Anderson became Gary U.S. Bonds. The follow-up was the now legendary ‘party’ record, “Quarter to Three,” a number-one hit with a spirit and energy that would eventually inspire and influence a generation. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lists “Quarter to Three” as one of the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
Over the next three years, Gary co-wrote and recorded hit after good-time hit; “School is Out,” “School is In,” “Dear Lady Twist,” “Twist, Twist Senora,” “Seven Day Weekend” and others. He has performed throughout the world, rising to a status so high that on a 1963 tour of Europe, he headlined above a group of relative newcomers… The Beatles.
The Superstar Theater at Resorts Casino Hotel is a show-stopping performance venue that has welcomed some of the world’s hottest musicians and celebrity appearances including Frank Sinatra, Dolly Parton, Cher, The Beach Boys, Aretha Franklin and more.
