INTERNATIONAL POP SINGER-SONGWRITER GINO VANNELLI HEADLINES AT HILTON THEATER NOVEMBER 9

LAS VEGAS- International pop singer-songwriter Gino Vannelli, whose hits include "I Just Wanna Stop," "Living Inside Myself," and "People Gotta Move" headlines at the Hilton Theater November 9 at 7 p.m.

Vannelli, born in Canada and growing up in a musical family, started playing drums at a very young age and studied musical theory at McGill University. Today, the singer-songwriter incorporates poetry, philosophy, and his life experiences in his music.

The 1970s was a decade dominated by glam, punk, heavy metal, new wave, disco and funk. It was a decade where notions of pop and rock authenticity and hipness were constantly being contested and redefined. In the midst of such a heady maelstrom, a handful of artists such as Gino Vannelli and Steely Dan opted to buck all the trends, writing and producing sophisticated jazz-inflected pop.

Vannelli racked up ten Billboard pop chart hits, seven of which also charted Adult Contemporary and three of which crossed over to the R&B charts. He also has sold more than ten million records worldwide. Vannelli remains one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary pop music.

Tickets for Gino Vannelli are priced at $29-$95 and can be purchased at the Las Vegas Hilton box office or by logging onto www.lvhilton.com, www.vegas.com, www.ticketmaster.com, or phone at 702-732-5755 or 1-800-222-5361. Tickets on sale now.
