Just in time to spread holiday cheer, The Scintas return to the Suncoast Showroom with “A Scinta Christmas,” December 2, 3 and 4, each evening at 7:30 p.m.

The Scintas, Buffalo, New York-raised brothers Joey and Frankie, sister Chrissi and “Irish Scinta” Peter O’Donnell, entertain, surprise and provide an anything-but-typical performance filled with music, comedy and impersonations. “Guest” appearances will be fruitful for these special holiday performances, as Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, George Burns, Kermit the Frog and many other favorites help The Scintas celebrate the special time of year with their own holiday twist.

Collectively, they’ve dazzled sell-out crowds in Las Vegas showrooms and on the road. Individually, each member of The Scintas has enjoyed a stunning rise to fame. Frankie, recognized as a musical prodigy, appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show” at age 11. He plays the keyboard on the show and is also a master guitar, mandolin, banjo, drum and bass player. Joey, who originally intended to become a music teacher, developed and mastered his talent for comedy and impressions. The baby of the family, Chrissi, is known for her stunning renditions of the big ballads. Although not related, Peter O’Donnell has been a member of the close-knit clan since joining The Scintas in 1988. He has played gigs with more than 700 bands.

John Legend will ring in the new year in style with a performance of his smooth, R&B sound at the Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort on Saturday, Dec. 31, at 9 p.m.

John Legend has sold more than five million albums worldwide, garnered multiple hit singles (“Ordinary People,” “Used to Love U,” “So High,” “Save Room,” “Heaven,” “Another Again”), received countless awards (including five Grammys) and has wowed rapt audiences across the globe. Critics have called him a genius, one of the most compelling and important singer/songwriters of this generation and an elegant ambassador of soul.

Legend’s most recent release Wake Up!, a collaboration with The Roots, was released in September and features covers of “socially-aware” songs. Since its debut, Wake Up! has received widespread attention with its timely release. Evolver, Legend’s 2008 studio release reached #1 on The Billboard R&B chart and topped The Billboard 200 peaking at #4. The album boasted the hit single “Green Light,” which featured OutKast’s Andre 3000. Other collaborations on that album included Pharrell and Kanye West. Millions heard the single “If You’re Out There” when Legend debuted the song during a historic performance opening the Democratic National Convention in August 2008 – a cry for social change and a great lead-in to the message of Wake Up!.

Evolver came just two years after his Grammy award-winning recording of Once Again reached platinum status with the help of singles such as “Save Room,” and his debut Get Lifted (2004) took home two Grammy awards for Best R&B Album and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.

Doors at the Pearl will open at 8 p.m. and show time is 9 p.m. The Pearl Box Office is open daily from noon until 7 p.m. with extended hours on select event days. The Pearl is sponsored by Citi and is now on Twitter. Please follow @PearlatPalms for concert announcements and event information.
