An out-of-this world entertainment line-up

Come and awaken your senses with the delicious food and drinks, but stay for the extraordinary entertainment line-up including a DJ, a singer, a magician, and a saxophonist to name a few. Guests will be entertained by the likes of  Chris Clouse, a DJ, singer, song writer, and live performer whose many talents include playing the violin and guitar.

Chris has been the supporting act for Johnny Cash, DJ AM, Snoop Dogg, Kaskade, Train, and many others. He’s written and recorded numerous albums, and honed his skills for two years at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Chris has grown so popular, he is now booked year-round nationally and internationally.

Based out of Arizona, Blaine Long of the Blaine Long Trio may look familiar to you, especially if you’re a fan of NBC’s The Voice and saw him on Season 11. Since the young age of 16, Blaine has been playing his original music on stage and in bars, and he’s opened for Clint Black, Jonny Lang, Beth Hart, and Edwin McCain, among others.

Rodney Reyes is a magician and mentalist who performs throughout the country. He is known in the magic world as being a highly-creative, awe-inspiring performing artist.

Today, his client-base has expanded to some of the largest corporations in America who book him for corporate events.

Kenny Fong is a local saxophonist raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kenny’s musical journey started at the young age of six, when he begged (and convinced) his parents to enroll him in piano lessons. Beginning in November 2017, Kenny spent two years aboard cruise ships performing all over the world as a show band woodwind musician. Today, he plays regularly with The Flamingos jazz band at Lake Effect and solo at London Belle.
