Kenny Rogers will once again captivate audiences on stage in the Cambridge Ballroom when he makes his return appearance at The Grand in Atlantic City for two exclusive performances--Friday evening at 10 PM and saturday evening at 7:30 PM. With atrack record that includes three Grammys, eleven People's Choice Awards, eighteen American Music Awards, five Country Music association Awards, eight Academy of Country Awards, Top Country Artists nods from reader polls in people and rolling Stone, and the title of "Favorite Singer of All Time" from PM Magazine/USA Today poll, Kenny really is a true American success story. Naturally, music remains the bedrock of Kenny's career, and he is committed to giving his fans what they want to hear. Hits like "Lucille," "The Gambler," "She Believes in Me," "You decorated My Life," "Lady," "Throught the Years," and duets like "We've Got Tonight" and "Islands in the Stream" will surely keep fans entertained. Despite Kenny's commitment to music, his diverse interests ensure that he also keeps busy outside the recording studio and stage. Kenny's magic on stage seems to have rubbed off on the TV screen as well. He continues to work at his popular series of Gambler movies, and he recently began a series of TV movies for NBC entitled "MacShayne" in which he stars as a troubleshooting sleuth. Constantly on the move, Kenny keeps busy with a variety of other ventures ranging from a new record album,, a new photo book, Kenny Rogers Roasters (his chain of wood-roasted chicken restaurants) to charitable undertakings that would exhaust a man of lesser talents. Fortunately for his millions of fans, Kenny Rogers will be slowing down long enough for his fans to catch a glimpse of the talented performer. He will be performing in the Cambridge Ballroom on Friday, August 18 at 10 PM and Saturday, August 19 at 7:30 PM as part of our Country Jamboree Celebration Month at The Grand during the month of August. For ticket information, please call The Grand Box Office at (609) 340-7200. Coming attractions include a Country Dance Dinner Party on Friday, August 25 in the Cambridge Ballroom.
