SUMMARY:Comedy Nights at The Bend: Byron Kennedy
DESCRIPTION:Comedy Nights at The Bend featuring Byron Kennedy\nByron Kennedy’s irreverent\, observational style and natural storytelling panache connects with audiences across the nation\, moving him quickly from open mic nights to featuring\, to the Grand ole Opry\, a Las Vegas residency and now headlining gigs across the country. \nDeclared the “Leonardo DaVinci Of Radio” by broadcast legend Howard Stern\, Kennedy built an impressive résumé at a CBS Radio and\, later\, a top Nashville record label. Happily\, it made him miserable. “I kept getting promoted into executive roles and felt like an impostor\,” he says. Dragged onstage at an open mic night\, he heard his calling. “I did two shots\, told a few stories and got some laughs. Then we went out and celebrated like I’d just killed it on The Tonight Show. The next morning\, I was certain this was all I wanted to do.” “I can’t explain it\, but when you land that first laugh\, there’s no turning back.” – Byron Kennedy \nDoors open at 6:30 PM to give you time to find your seats\, visit our historic lobby\, concession stand and fully stocked bar! Show begins at approximately 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:An Evening with Elton Dan & The Rocket Band
DESCRIPTION:CALLING ALL ELTON JOHN FANS!\nJoin us at The Bend Theater for An Evening with Elton Dan & The Rocket Band\n  \nElton Dan Seeks to Carry the Candle for Experiencing the Live Concert Experience of Elton John! \n“Elton John is my all-time favorite artist and primary inspiration for playing music\,” Elton Dan says. “There’s a lot to it. It’s not a challenge to play and sing\, but the diversity from album to album is a rich tapestry of influences including blues and especially country music.” “I play his music every day\, not only to get better also to be enriched and to learn more of his compositions.” \nAt an Elton Dan concert\, you are enveloped into the magic of Elton’s music through a multimedia production\, over-the-top costume changes\, the incredible musicianship of the Rocket Band and the high-energy performance that Elton Dan brings to the stage like Elton John of the days past. “So much energy and pure joy!”\, “Fantastic costumes and production!”\, “Mesmerizing\,” are a taste of the comments from their fans. “I want our shows to be a true tribute to the greatest musical artist ever\,” Dan says. “When someone attends one of our shows\, I don’t try to imitate Elton. Rather\, I want the concertgoer to be immersed in the full experience.” \nElton Dan has attended 17 Elton John concerts around the globe\, including being front and center during Elton’s final live shows in North America at Dodger Stadium this past November. Dan has interacted with David Furnish\, Elton John’s partner. As done last year\, on Elton’s birthday\, March 25\, Dan will film the audience singing “Happy Birthday” to Elton and send it to David for Elton to enjoy. It’s just another example how Elton Dan finds ways to make his concerts an even greater event to empower and celebrate people. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM to give you time to find your seats\, visit our historic lobby\, concession stand and fully stocked bar! Show begins at approximately 7:30 PM
