Tony Bennett is scheduled to play Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort Event Center on Friday, Oct. 23 at 9pm.
With millions of records sold worldwide and platinum and gold albums to his credit, Bennett has received seventeen Grammy Awards-including a 1995 Grammy for Record of the Year for his “MTV Unplugged” CD, which introduced this American master to a whole new generation-and the Grammy Lifetime Award. His 2007 prime-time special, “Tony Bennett: An American Classic,” won seven Emmy Awards. His initial successes came via a string of Columbia singles in the early 1950’s, including such chart-toppers as “Because of You,” “Rags to Riches,” and a remake of Hank Williams “Cold, Cold Heart.” He had 24 songs in the Top 40, including “I Wanna Be Around,” “The Good Life,” “Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)” and his signature song, “I Left My Heart In San Francisco,” which garnered him two Grammy Awards.
Tickets go on sale Friday, July 24 at Ticketmaster.com or 1-800-745-3000.
