The Surfaris - Featuring original guitarist, Bob Berryhill. Co-author and recording artist of Wipe Out and Surfer Joe. The Surfaris began their career by composing and recording “Wipe Out”, one of the most popular songs recorded in a generation. Wipe Out, Surfer Joe and others captured the sound of the early 1960’s. Initially catapulted by the California surf culture, The Surfaris transcended the local scene into international stardom.
Crystals – When Phil Spector discovered The Crystals, they were still in high school. Their first recording “There’s No Other, Like My Baby” was also their first hit, catapulting them straight to the Appollo Theater. They went on to enjoy five more Top Ten records, “He’s A Rebel”. “Da Doo Ron Ron” and “Then He Kissed Me” being their most popular hits.
The Brooklyn Bridge - The Brooklyn Bridge was created in 1968 when two bands, The Rhythm Method and The Del-Satins featuring Johnny Maestro, merged. The Brooklyn Bridge recorded hit after hit beginning with their first gold record for Jimmy Webbs, “The Worst That Could Happen.” As they begin their fifth decade performing, The Brooklyn Bridge leave a rich legacy in Rock n Roll history.
The Trammps featuring Earl Young – The Trammps have become synonymous with the Disco Era. In 1976, the group was showered with honors including Best Disco Album, Best Disco Artist, Best Disco Single and Best Disco Single Unreleased (1976) for the LP album “Where the Happy People Go” that contained the hits “Disco Party”, “Hooked For Like” and “Soul Seachin’ Time.” In 1978, Saturday Night Fever made John Travolta, his white suit and The Trammps’ song “Disco Inferno” part of American pop culture history.

LAS VEGAS – May 2, 2013 – The DockDogs Western Regional Championships will be held in Las Vegas at The Cannery Hotel and Casino on Friday, May 31 through Sunday, June 2, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Over 300 of the top teams in the Western Region will be facing off in more than 15 divisions of completion, including Outdoor Big Air, Extreme Vertical and Speed Retrieve. The Big Air® competition electronically judges the length of a dog’s jump after running down a 40’ dock into a pool of water after an object. The Extreme Vertical® competition is a “High Jump” for the dogs as they each lunge to snag a “bumper” suspended in the air. With each grab, the height increases in 2-inch increments until only one dog is crowned king. Rounding out the action is the newest form of competition known as Speed Retrieve® – where the dogs are put on the clock to see how fast they can run down the dock, jump into the water, swim to the end of the pool and retrieve an object which is held by a modified extender arm.
"We are very excited to be having the first of the four 2013 DockDogs Regional Championships at such an incredible venue”, commented Grant Reeves CEO for DockDogs Worldwide. “The Regional Championships is important for DockDogs competitors that are looking to earn invitations to the World Championships that will be held in Dubuque, IA in November. The competitors on the west coast have been battling each other the entire first quarter of this new year and we expect nothing short of 3 long days filled with massive Big Air jumps, sonic Speed Retrieve runs and High Flying Extreme Vertical jumps.”
This 3-day event will be a great time for the entire family. There is a “splash zone” around the edge of the pools for kids to cool off from the summer heat from the splashes from the Big Air jumping dogs!
DockDogs is the independent governing and sanctioning body for dock jumping and dock diving canine performance sports.
Tickets for Friday and Saturday are $5.00 per day, and Sunday tickets are $7.00 and will be available at the door. A weekend pass that includes admission to all events for all 3 days is $15.00.

LAS VEGAS - April 19, 2013 - The cool and legendary Beach Boys will make a special concert appearance at the Cannery Casino and Hotel on May 11 at 8:00p.m.
The Beach Boys are led by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, who along with Christian Love, Randell Kirsch, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill and Scott Totten continue the legacy of the iconic American band.
You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had and how many millions of albums they’ve sold. But these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. This band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that it changed the musical landscape so profoundly that every pop act since has been in its debt.
The Beach Boys are known for chart toppers such as “I Get Around”, “Don’t Worry Baby”, “California Girls”, “Good Vibrations”, “Don’t Worry Baby”, “Barbara Ann”, “Help Me Rhonda”, “Kokomo” and many more! Happily for us all, The Beach Boys continue to create and perform with the same bold imagination and style that marked their explosive debut 50 years ago.
Captained by Mike Love, The Beach Boys play an astoundingly busy schedule of concerts, averaging 150 shows a year, ranging from festivals to gala New Year’s celebrations and special events worldwide.
Tickets for the 8:00p.m. concert start at $29.95 (not including applicable service charges and taxes) and are available at both the Cannery and Eastside Cannery properties.

Peabo also created such hits as, “Here We Go”, “Tonight I Celebrate My Love” and the award-winning songs “Beauty and the Beast” and “A Whole New World”.

With his music termed ‘Sophisticated Soul’, Freddie has graced us with such hits as “Rock With Me”, “Jam Tonight”, “You are My Lady” and “I Don’t Want to Lose Your Love”.
