Vegas

LAS VEGAS, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Artist," in only his second public
performance of the year, brings his "Jam of the Year -- Encore Performance"
to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in an exclusive engagement Saturday, May 29 at
8 p.m. R&B legend Larry Graham will make a special guest appearance.



"The Artist" has had 15 platinum albums, 10 gold singles and a gold video. A
living legend who continues to be a vital part of contemporary music, he has
created songs which have become the public anthem and personal statement of
a
generation and his music continues to inspire a myriad of other
entertainers.
