The Bronx Wanderers show at Bally’s Windows Showroom is a tightly scripted performance that leaves many audience members claiming, “The best show on The Strip.” But lead singer
Vinny told an audience last month “Every once in a while, life gets in the way” in displaying his gratitude for the group’s fans.

Clint Holmes’ 2 ½ year effort to bring his latest CD, Rendezvous, to life paid off with two Grammy Award nominations. The works being honored are a pair of songs from George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, “I Loves You Porgy/There’s a Boat That’s Leavin’ Soon for New York” and “Every Time We Say Goodbye” composed by Cole Porter.
 
Grammy winner Dee Bridgewater joined Holmes on the Porgy and Bess songs which were recorded over two nights at New York’s Blue Note. The recording is backed by the Count Basie Band.
