The group hails from Las Vegas and performs hits from rock to country and Top 40 to easy listening.

The band caters the set lists to the venue. So, whether it’s a private party or a corporate dinner, special events or nightclubs around town, downtown and the strip, they do it all.

Band members are leader Drew Baker on lead vocals, guitar, keyboard and keyboard bass. Valerie Rose Carter is the group’s lead singer called “extraordinaire and gorgeous” on the band’s website, which is under construction.

Wayne Carson also performs vocals, and plays lead and rhythm guitar.

Matt and Cole Reeves, along with dad, Jack, Kelly Bishop on bass and Joe Willet on drums, will be performing at the Maverick from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Saturday and from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

Matt and Cole Reeves will be playing at the grand opening of “Big’s Place,” next to Paddy’s Pub, starting at 11 a.m. Restaurant owner Eric Webb is Jack Reeves’ son. There will be a bounce house and games for the kids.

Movies in the Park starts June 7 at dusk in Ian Deutch Memorial Park.

Movies will run every Saturday through July. This weekend will feature Disney’s “Frozen.”

Mikey’s Bowl-a-Thon is a fundraiser scheduled for 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday, June 7 at Draft Picks on Highway 160.

The event, organized by Sara Chapman, Commissioner Dan Schinhofen’s daughter, will feature Dan and some of his musician cronies providing the entertainment.

There will be raffle prizes, T-shirt sales, shaved ice, and the cost for $1 per person per game.

On May 19, Mikey Welch, a local elementary school student, was diagnosed with leukemia. The child has a long fight for his life ahead of him and all proceeds will go to aid the family with medical expenses.

An account for donations has been set up at Nevada State Bank and a website is taking donations as well at www.gofundme.com/supportmikeyandashley

First Saturday, a celebration of vendors, music and food, will be held between GEMS BBQ and Attorney Glen Lerner’s parking lots. The monthly event began in May.
