FRESNO, CA (Table Mountain Casino) - Table Mountain Casino has announced that the soulful sounds and moving lyrics of
Toni Braxton will be presented to another sold out Table Mountain Casino Event Center audience on April 11, 2006. This early sellout reinforces Table Mountain Casino's position as the entertainment destination of choice for those who are tired of binoculars and want an up-close and personal concert experience at an affordable price. Braxton is the latest SRO performance at Table Mountain Casino Event Center. The string of sellouts goes back to early 2005 and includes events as diverse as championship boxing and entertainers like Clint Black,
Reba McEntire and Los Lobos.
Long time Toni Braxton fans and new converts alike will be immersed in Braxton's instantly-recognizable vocal style in the friendly 1,200 seat Table Mountain Casino Event Center. Braxton, who possesses one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in contemporary music, returned to the international marketplace with her 2005 release of Libra, her sizzling debut set for Blackground/Universal Records. In her latest top selling CDs (More Than A Woman (2002) and Libra (2005)), the multiple Grammy award-winning artist is also delivering material that reflects her creative maturity and matches the power of her voice.
In this concert at Table Mountain, Braxton's musical magic is expected to feature songs from Libra that give a nod to the kind of finely-crafted songs that first propelled her to global fame over a decade ago. Now striking a perfect balance between today's radio-friendly grooves (exemplified by the album's hot first single, "Please") and 'old school' flavored slow jams (such as "Stupid" and "Midnit"), Braxton at Table Mountain should be a very special evening as she joins with fans to explore the way love works.
Tickets for Braxton (from $35 to $10), like all Table Mountain Celebrity entertainment and events, were priced to be accessible for an enthusiastic audience. The Table Mountain Casino policy of underwriting tickets so popular acts can present their shows in the intimate Table Mountain Event Center at an affordable price for fans has been an astounding success, selling out every entertainment show and sporting event to SRO crowds that Table Mountain Casino has booked in 2005 and that has been on sale in 2006!
Most recently, this includes America (earlier in March) and now Toni Braxton.
L.A. Brown, Director of Marketing at Table Mountain Casino, believes the casino's string of successful engagements is linked to their selection of talent. "At our Event Center," she says, "every seat is a perfect one for fans and entertainers who thrive on intimacy. It's a very cozy venue, especially for entertainers like Toni Braxton who uses her singing style to connect with her audience by sharing in music her most personal feelings about life, love, and their loss."
Braxton, a multi-talented entertainer who began her career with her ten-million-plus selling self-titled 1993 debut album, has been buoyed by an instant radio and club response to 'Libra' and "Please." Concert goers should expect this sultry-voiced star of Broadway hit musicals "Beauty And The Beast" and the Tony Award winning "Aida" to present a lyrical and reflective mood during the Table Mountain casino concert. Songs like "Finally" and "Sposed To Be" emanate the smooth sensuality that is Toni's musical trademark and tracks like "Stupid" are throwbacks to '90s Braxton classics like "Un-Break My Heart."
Her new combination of insightful lyrics and powerful music blending with her traditional strengths as a performer are opening a new, more personal era for Toni Braxton and her fans.
Next Up - Alan Jackson on Sale May 1
Next up at Table Mountain Casino Event Center will be Alan Jackson on May 19. This Country Music Association three-time Entertainer of the Year is expected to be presenting his collection of unabashed, jukebox-worthy country songs for a throng of loyal Central California fans.
Ever walking the line between populism and memoir in a fifteen-year career that has already produced over 43 million sales and 31 Number One hits - including 21 he penned for himself - Jackson's concert is expected to feature his newest album that is striking the "perfect Alan Jackson balance" that fans love. Jackson tickets, scaled at $80 (VIP), $70 (Reserved) and $60 for General Admission, with an additional $10 Club Card discount, go on sale May 1.
