Singing sensation Clint Holmes brings his powerful voice and magnetic stage presence to the Suncoast Showroom in “An Evening With Clint Holmes With Musical Director Bill Fayne,” May 22, 23 and 24.
Holmes’ fans know him as more than just a singer. He’s famous for making every performance an original and captivating audiences with his charisma and signature style. Among his many recordings is the Top 10 smash hit “Playground In My Mind (My Name Is Michael).” His album Edges produced many other standout songs, including “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” the romantic “Shouldn’t It Be Easy By Now,” the playful “Gotta Get Up” and the thought-provoking “Let My Son See Africa.”
Known best in Las Vegas for his recent six-year run in “Clint Holmes at Harrah’s,” during which he was named Las Vegas’ “Best Singer” by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Holmes’ fame stretches far beyond Southern Nevada. Named Atlantic City’s “Entertainer of the Year” three times, Holmes starred in “Clint Holmes’ Sophisticated Rhythms,” a dynamic stage show that traveled through music from the 1940s to the present. His 1996 critically-acclaimed musical “Comfortable Shoes,” which opened in New Jersey, was a poignant and uplifting journey into Holmes’ interracial family’s struggle to find its identity. In 2002, an updated version of “Comfortable Shoes” opened at The Royal George Theatre in Chicago. Among the show’s rave reviews, the Chicago Tribune called it “a night of fully realized theatrical entertainment.”
In a career that began with an invitation from Joan Rivers to be her sidekick and announcer on The Late Show, Clint Holmes has proven himself as a well-respected performer, even earning the honor of being the featured performer at the Democratic National Convention on the evening of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential nomination.
