FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 16, 2010 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS MICHAEL BOLTON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18 Richmond, BC – If you made a list of performers who have sold more than 53 million records, won multiple Grammys for Best Male Vocalist and countless other honors, earned a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and sold out arenas worldwide, Michael Bolton would be on that list. But if you tallied all the artists who have sung with Luciano Pavarotti and Ray Charles, written songs with Bob Dylan, Ne-Yo and Lady Gaga, penned hits for Barbra Streisand and KISS, played guitar with B.B. King and had their music recorded on a track by Kanye West, the only name on that list would be Michael Bolton. It was in 1987 when Bolton emerged with the release of his third album, The Hunger which featured his song “That’s What Love Is All About” and a cover of Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” … both of which became Top 40 hits. His next album, Soul Provider was released two years later turning Bolton into a superstar as the album spawned five Top 40 singles including “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” “How Can We Be Lovers” and “When I’m Back on My Feet Again.” Bolton’s 1991 album, Time, Love & Tenderness was even more successful hitting #1 and produced four Top 40 including the chart-topping cover of Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman.” His most recent album, One World One Love was released last February and features the single, “Just One Love.” Earlier this fall, Bolton appeared as a contestant on this season’s edition of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars. Of all that he has accomplished, perhaps nothing is more important to Bolton than the foundation he founded in 1993 … The Michael Bolton Charities, Inc. Based in his home state of Connecticut, the major focus of the MBC is the critical issue of violence against women … the foundation has dispersed over $6 million in grants to various organizations since its inception. Currently Bolton is touring across the UK before heading to Germany. In the New Year, he’ll be bringing his “One World One Love” Tour to North America and will include a show at the River Rock Casino Resort in February.
