PRESENT JOHNNY MATHIS

FRIDAY, MAY 8 – RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE SATURDAY, MAY 9 – RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE

One of North America’s most popular entertainers, the legendary Johnny Mathis has sold over 350 million records and is one of only five recording artists to have Top 40 Hits spanning each decade since 1955. Known for his smooth vocal skills and celebrated ballads, his hit songs include "Wonderful, Wonderful," “It’s Not For Me To Say,” “Chances Are,” “,” “Wild Is The Wind,” “Come to Me,” "Misty" and his duet with , “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late.”

Mathis's extraordinarily high level of performance – both on records and in concert – has been a source of amazement to fans and critics alike. In 1958, only two years after signing him, released Johnny's Greatest Hits … the first of its kind. The LP spent an unprecedented nine-and-a-half years on Billboard's Top 100 compilation album chart … a feat recorded in The Guinness Book of World Records. In fact, Mathis is second to only as the reigning album-chart king for the period between 1945 and 1972.

Over the years, he has amassed more than sixty gold and platinum album awards for his worldwide record sales. He has appeared at numerous US Presidential State Dinners and Royal Command Performances and has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Mathis still enjoys touring nationally and internationally and will be performing at both Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre and River Rock Casino Resort in May.
