Folk Legacy Trio Kicks Off 2022<br />
By: Evan Davis / Entertainment Editor<br />
George Grove, Kingston Trio 41 years.<br />
Rick Dougherty, Limeliters/Kingston<br />
Trio 25 years. Jerry Siggins, lead singer of the<br />
legendary Diamonds.<br />
What do they have in common? FOLK LEGACY TRIO<br />
An American folk and pop music group that has helped relaunch<br />
folk music of the late ‘50s to late ‘60s. They have been selling out across<br />
the country, as well as Las Vegas.<br />
The Vegas Voice is thrilled to bring them back for an encore<br />
performance at Sun City MacDonald Ranch. And we’ve brought them<br />
to the west side of town at the Summerlin Library Performing Arts<br />
Center.<br />
The Saturday January 22 nd performance at MacDonald Ranch is<br />
already SOLD OUT, but there are tickets still available for the show on<br />
Friday January 21 st at the Summerlin Library. See next page.<br />
Now I don’t believe in stealing, but at $25 a ticket, it’s highway<br />
robbery. Please do not miss this opportunity to hear some wonderful<br />
folk music and some originals. Along with the great music comes<br />
stories of what really went on at the festivals and shows back in the day.<br />
And don’t forget about our February variety show on Valentine’s Day<br />
at the Starbright Theatre. The Vegas Voice “Afternoon Affair” is back<br />
with a star-studded lineup.<br />
The 2:30 show (See page 17) will introduce you to fantastic talents<br />
such as Ruby Lewis, an American actress and singer. She is also<br />
known for such television shows as Desperate Housewives, Girl Meets<br />
World, and Rules of Engagement.<br />
Kevan Patriquin has<br />
performed in Broadway<br />
productions, national tours,<br />
and regional theater as well as<br />
television and film. Find yourself<br />
laughing as Tony Arias (see<br />
our Nightlife editor/ buddy<br />
Sam’s article page 24 for more<br />
information) recaps some of<br />
With Llynda More<br />
Broadway’s best-known classic<br />
show stories as ONLY HE CAN.<br />
Also scheduled to perform will be Ronnie Rose, Llynda More,<br />
Shiela Wright & Mark Gendel. All will be accompanied by the<br />
Vegas Voice Band under the direction of Bill Fayne.<br />
Trust me, these two shows are definitely ones I wouldn’t miss.<br />

The Show Did Go On!<br />
We had to cancel our December concert “Believe In The Magic<br />
Of The Holidays.” On the day before the show, the pianist (who<br />
was fully vaccinated no less) tested positive for Covid.<br />
Under the motto, “The Show Must Go On” The Vegas Voice was<br />
very fortunate to have Mark OToole step up and “save the day.” His<br />
one-man show<br />
“Classic Crooner<br />
Christmas” was<br />
fantastic, and the<br />
standing ovations<br />
were richly<br />
deserved.<br />
As one audience<br />
member remarked:<br />
“I will think about<br />
Mark OToole doing<br />
this for a long time.<br />
I know stories about<br />
people in show business doing wonderful things for each other, but this<br />
is beyond the pale as they say.<br />
“Please forward our compliments to Mark - our group of 6 was just<br />
floored that Mark took on this task. What a guy!”<br />
