Summer Blues in Lake Tahoe

June 25, 2015 leslie Leave a comment

LLindley.LiveatLakeview-19 Nothing but those sweet summer blues on tap for the first Thursday of summer in South Lake Tahoe! Blue skies, Blue Moon brews + authentic blues vibes from The Raymond Victor Band!

The Jonny Gold Trio will start off today’s show at 4:30 pm with their unique jazz tunes from the great American songbook with songs by artists such as Duke Ellington, Miles Davis & Antonio Carlos Jobim. This jazz trio from Davis, CA is known for their jazz standards, ballads, latin jazz and blues. One of the band members will be joining us again this summer when his funk band, Big Sticky Mess, opens up for the Polyrhthmics on August 13th.

Our headliner, The Raymond Victor Band, will take the stage at 6:00 pm and we cannot wait to see what he has in store for us! This blues brother grew up in Chicago during the peak of the blues in the 1950’s and 60’s. We found this gem of a band thanks to a family connection with their manager, who also happens to manage Janis Joplin’s original band, Big Brother and the Holding Company!

Victor will be joined by Diana Dutra on bass and Marcus David on drums for this Thursday’s performance. In a recent interview with Tahoe Onstage, Raymond Victor was asked what we can expect at the upcoming show…

“I have no idea,” Victor told Tahoe Onstage. “I never use a set list. I have to look at the people and then I say, ‘OK, here we go.’ ”

While the actual set list remains a mystery, there is no doubt we are in for a musical treat! Victor spent many years working along side some big legends in the blues and jazz world. He’s recorded with legends including Stevie Wonder, Bobby Womack, Larry Graham and Sly Stone… just to name a few! PLUS he’s shared the stage with Buddy Miles, Garth Brooks, Lou Rawls and many others.

Cheers to the first Thursday of summer! See you at the beach!

True Tahoe Support – Drinking for Charity

June 23, 2015 leslie Leave a comment

hannah beer pour This summer, being charitable is as easy as ordering a cold one at your favorite outdoor concert series! That’s right, when Live at Lakeview returns to the beach this Thursday and you order that first ice cold beer of summer, you’re not only supporting the series you’ve all grown to love, you’re also supporting a great local non-profit organization.

It’s simple. We know you love beer/wine (we do too), we know you care about this community (we do too!) and the best part is, you can have it all!!

On Course Events has chosen the South Tahoe BMX Association as this season’s beer/wine garden beneficiary. If you have a kid, or know of one, that rides at the local bmx track – your beer supports his future races! If you want to see the exciting new Bijou Bike Park project come to life – your next glass of wine proceeds help to make that dream reality.

So as you sip on those cold beers, feel good about yourself for the charitable donations you’ve made and give cheers to Coors & Blue Moon for making it all possible!

Cheers to a beautiful summer ahead!

True Tahoe Support – Creative Design

June 16, 2015 leslie Leave a comment

Last week we gave a special tribute to all of our local media partners who help us spread the good word of free live music. Before we can paint the town blue in posters or advertise in publications such as Tahoe Action, Lake Tahoe Entertainer, or Tahoe Mountain News we need some assistance in the creative design of our ads so the branding can be on point. That’s where our friends at Dollar Signs & Graphics come in!

The Dollar Signs & Graphics crew provides a ton of True Tahoe Support by creating all of our collateral for the season. From stage banners to posters and even new event logos, they are our true rockstars!

We’re especially pumped about the new logo and branding for On Course Events’ newest series, that we have affectionately dubbed Live at Lakeview’s little sister… the 10^th Tee Summer Music Series at the Lake Tahoe Golf Course!

If you’re looking for a fresh design or have any printing needs, Dollar Signs is the place to go! Nicole Swartz at Dollar Signs created the awesome logo and poster for this brand new, free community concert series which kicks off summer here in South Lake Tahoe this Sunday, June 21^st with local bands Bison + Little Norway.

We hope to see you on the 10^th Tee this Sunday, the fun kicks off at 4pm!

True Tahoe Support – Media Blitz

June 9, 2015 leslie Leave a comment

The media blitz for Live at Lakeview has begun, and it’s all thanks to our local media sponsors! Pretty soon you won’t be able to tune into Lake Tahoe Television or KRLT/KOWL Radio without hearing about the series. Both of these media sponsors have been HUGE supporters from day one of the series with weekly interviews, daily commercials and constant encouragement.

Every time you pick up a copy of the Tahoe Mountain News, Tahoe Action or Lake Tahoe Entertainer you’ll be able to scope out the lineup and plan your summer! Most of these ads and write-ups are provided as a trade for sponsorship of the series. True Tahoe Support like this makes it all possible!

For those of you who are not located in South Lake Tahoe and don’t have the privilege of picking up a local paper when you stop by Sprouts (one of our favorite Live at Lakeview sponsors) for lunch, there are a lot of online publications spreading the good word as well!

If you’ve started to notice all your friends and co-workers have been requesting Thursday’s off this summer, well that’s because they know what’s up! South Lake Tahoe’s signature summer concert series, Live at Lakeview, is returning to the beach on June 25^th with ten weeks of incredible music lined up!

Now is the time to preview the lineup, request Thursdays off from work (and Friday’s if you know what’s good for you) and most of all, get STOKED for a great summer filled with live music on the beach!

HOW?!
One of the most commonly asked questions! You know this 10-week series is FREE to enjoy, but it’s not free to produce. So, HOW does it all happen?

TRUE TAHOE SUPPORT!

The community support has been incredible since season one, with more new sponsors getting involved each year! As we gear up for season four, there are 30 local businesses and organizations (count the logos above) that have offered their support through monetary sponsorships, equipment and/or services trades, and shared promotions. Some are able to make larger contributions but the fact of the matter is that every little bit helps.

We’re proud to have so many incredible sponsors and ask that each of you pass along your appreciation to each and every one of them. Whether its your employer, favorite lunch spot, or local newspaper – make sure you express your gratitude to each of them for the ten weeks of fun they have provided for you!

Next time you stop by Sprouts Natural Foods Café for lunch, thank Tyler & Cheryl for feeding keeping your favorite musicians fueled up so they can rock the beach for you!

When your friends and family see the lineup and want to join in on the fun, send them to our friends at Inn by the Lake for incredible lake views and great deals within walking distance from the venue. Don’t forget to thank them for housing all of our entertainment so this could all be possible!

When you stop by Sno-Flake Drive In for ice cream, thank the new management for the great events they’ve helped to support!

When you need an adjustment after too much dancing on the beach, stop by and see one of our newest sponsors at Tahoe Chiropractic Clinic (located behind Sprouts).

If you run into any trouble this summer in the day-to-day Tahoe life, such as legal issues, car troubles, or the daunting idea of moving into a new place – our friends at Woelfel Law Firm, South Shore Bail Bonds, Eloise Automotive and Davey Paiva Realty are all here for you! Just make sure you let them know how much you love Live at Lakeview .

I think you get the idea, so thank you all for spreading the love! We can’t wait to see you on the beach.

Stay tuned to our blog for exclusive coverage on upcoming entertainment, a backstage look at all the work that goes into each show and tons of insight on the amazing amount of support this community provides in order for you to have enjoy the great music, great vibes & great views at Live at Lakeview every Thursday.
