FEATURED ARTIST FRIDAYS: JOEY McINTYRE

Posted 23 January 2011   Lifestylez- Culture/Recreation   

FEATURED ARTIST FRIDAY

JOEYREG

Starting every Saturday in February, Joey McIntyre will be doing performances at The Lounge at The Palms in Las Vegas with Emanuel Kiriakou. We are all familiar with Joey from his work with New Kids On The Block and selling out massive arenas everywhere, but these performances are much more intimate and up close and give  fans the chance to experience a more personal show that only The Palms Casino Resort can offer. We decided to make Joey the Featured Artist this Friday because… well,  he’s Joey McIntyre and everything he’s been involved in since his rise to fame in NKOTB has been cool! Enjoy the interview courtesy of PalmsTV. For tickets, visit http://bit.ly/JoeyTix.
