‘Secret Agent Man’ coming to casino

The old-time rock ‘n’ roll and blues music of Johnny Rivers will be performed at 8 p.m. March 20 at Treasure Island Resort & Casino’s Island Event Center.

Rivers has 17 gold records, 29 chart hits and two Grammy Awards, and has sold more than 30 million records.

“He’s the man who brought you ‘Secret Agent Man,’ ‘Summer Rain,’ ‘Poor Side of Town,’ ‘Baby I Need Your Lovin’,’ Treasure Island spokesmen said. He also is know for his covers of Chuck Berry classics “Memphis” and “Maybelline.”

In 1964, when the British Invasion was in progress and American rockers were tough to find on the U.S. pop charts, Rivers was one of the first to regain a foothold. His first Top 10 record came right in the midst of Beatlemania.

Tickets are $20 and $30. Call (877) 849-1640 or go online to www.ticasino.com.
