Ross Orlando's Tahoe Spotlight
Comedy superstar Sarah
Silverman comes to MontBleu
April 9th. I’ve been waiting for her
to perform in Tahoe for years, and
now it’s time for some Silverman
fun. From New Hampshire, with
influences of Jerry Lewis and Steve
Martin, Sarah, 40, was a writer and
feature player on Saturday Night
Live’s 93-94 season. She’s been
in a lot of TV shows, movies, and
her show on Comedy Central from
2007-2010 was a big hit. Her concert
film in 2005, “Jesus Is Magic”, is so
funny. Known for addressing social
taboos, controversial topics, racism,
sexism, and religion, she’s her own
unique comedy style with enormous
talent. And yes, she can sing also.
Her 2010, “The Bedwetter” book,
was on the New York Times BestSeller list. She hosted the MTV
Awards in 2007 and ripped up many
celebs, that was funny. It’s time to
have sassy Sarah in Tahoe. Yonder
Mountain String Band will perform
April 20th at MontBleu.
Blues and Rock star Kenny
Wayne Sheperd and his band
comes to Harrah’s April 9th.
Kenny is a seasoned vet at age
33, since he’s been recording and
touring since he was 17. Sheperd
had many Grammy nominations,
Billboard Music Awards and has sat
in and played his amazing guitar
with all the greats out there. From
Louisiana, he was self-taught to
play and has never stopped. His
Hendrix version of “Voodoo Child” is
so cool. Sheperd’s “Live in Chicago”
is number 1 on the Blues Chart.
His vocalist, Noah Hunt, and his
talented band, is so impressive to
hear and watch. Kenny has opened
for the Rolling Stones, The Eagles,
Bob Dylan and Van Halen. He
married actor Mel Gibson’s oldest
daughter Hannah in 2006 and they
have 3 children. This music will
make you feel good.
G. Love and Special Sauce
April 16th at Harrah’s will be a
party atmosphere. Garret Dutton
on guitar, vocals and harmonica,
mixes
Blues-Hip
Hop
and
Alternative Rock to a tasty blend
that is loved at all his shows. This 3
piece band with Dutton’s very cool
flowing rhymes, makes for a fun
and entertaining show. I met Garret,
who’s from Philadelphia, years ago
when he first came to Tahoe at
the Nugget’s outdoor shows in
North Shore. He also tours with his
friend, Jack Johnson, who’s played
Harvey’s outdoor shows. His album
“Lemonade” is very popular and I
love his song “Can’t Go Back To
Jersey”. He was influenced by the
Beastie Boys. This is a good-time
show. April 23rd is Air Supply.
Harrah’s had Robin Trower
with his classic rock style. At 66,
from England, Trower has played
with Procol Harem, Jack Bruce,
(from Cream), Bryan Ferry (Roxy
Music) and has a new release out
called, “The Playful Heart”. Trower’s
unmistakable guitar tone captures
the classic 70’s sound. His 1974,
“Bridge of Sighs”, still holds up
today. Ghostland Observatory at
Harrah’s have their own unique
music sound as a duet. There laser
lights and their funky music mix was
enjoyed. Tahoe loves St. Paddy’s
Day and all the fun that goes with
it. This month’s Entertainer is filled
with locals having fun at the many
events that were happening. McP’s
Pub Tahoe, Murphy’s Irish Pub,
MO’s Place - presented by LateNite Productions, Opal Ultra
Lounge and Blu Night Club at
MontBleu and Tahoe Douglas
Rotary International 43 year
tradition St. Patrick’s celebration
at MontBleu. There was lots of
people wearing green, beads, drink
specials, prizes, The Guiness Girls,
Go-Go Dancers, foam party, live
auctions for local charities and
more. Everyone was having a great
time all over and many other places
in town also. Check out Laughs
at the Improv at Harveys. Live
music at Whiskey Dick’s, Fresh
Ketch, Beacon, Fox and Hound,
The Flight Deck, Cabo Wabo, Arty
the Party at Harrah’s, and April
24th at Mo’s Place will be Afroman
with his hit song, “Because I Got
High”. Vex Nightclub at Harrah’s
on Friday and Saturday goes off
big with their sexy dancers and
DJ music. And remember, Cinco
de Mayo is just around the corner.
Have fun, you’re in Tahoe!
Another Late Night with LateNiteBilly
Between a near sold-out show with
Delhi 2 Dublin and our "off the hook"
St. Paddys Day Party, Mo's Place was
definitely the place to be last month!!
Delhi 2 Dublin threw down one of the most
energetic and unique live sets I have seen
in a LONG time! Tahoe just couldn't get
enough! We brought together all the World
Music / Summertime Festival goers, the
local Indian community and everyone in
between! What an amazing night. They
will be back at Mo's Place on July 13th
after they play the California World Music
Festival this Summer. Finding a band like
that is definitely one of the main things that
inspires me to do what I do!
Now all Winter long people have been
asking me, "when in Andre Nickatina
coming back?" Its been about two years
since he has been to the Lake so here
we go!! Wednesday, April 13th Andre
Nickatina and Smoov-e live in concert
at Cal Neva Resort in Crystal Bay (North
Lake) and all-ages are welcome. A favorite
at public venues and on college campuses,
Andre Nickatina continues to sustain an
amazingly loyal fan-base, while engaging
new supporters throughout North America.
Nickatina’s classic stage show combined
with his rare interviews, maintains his
mystery and unique musicianship that
has spanned two decades. The longevity
of Nickatina speaks for itself. An awardwinning MC and producer (2005 Bay Area
Artist of The Year / Album of The Year for
"Bullets"), Nickatina’s vision has expanded
beyond the 18 albums (and hundreds of
thousands of sales) that he has executiveproduced. Also, a diverse artist, Nickatina
has gained critical acclaim for his work
and vision as a filmmaker, with more than
seven films to his credit as either a director,
co-director, executive producer, producer
or actor.
Now for Smoov-e. He has played
alongside Nickatina many times in Reno
and also shared the stage with Mickey
Avalon right here at the Lake but has now
"re-invented" himself. As of 2010 Eli has
signed with I-Khan Distribution headed
by his friend and mentor Andre Nickatina.
In order to represent yet another new
direction in his illustrious career he has
dropped the moniker “Smoov-e” and is
now known simply as “Eli”. He’s currently
putting the rapping aside and focusing
his efforts on singing and song writing.
All the elements of Smoov-e that define
his persona and style are still there, just
in a different package. It’s plain to see the
old Smoov-e of dirty raps isn’t gone…he’s
just become, as Nickatina put it, “The New
Face Of Rock & Roll”.
Next up, I will be heading out on
tour with the "Worlds Highest Rapper"
for a string of shows in Mammoth, North
Lake, South Lake, Reno and we will even
be doing an up close and personal meet
and greet at the Beach Hut Deli in South
Lake on Sunday, 4/24 and guess what
time? Yes, 4:20pm! This is free and all
ages are welcome for pictures, autographs
and more! Friday, April 22nd he will be
performing live at Cal Neva Resort in North
Lake for and all ages show and on Sunday,
April 24th he will be live at Mo's Place for
a 21+ show. Don't miss Afroman as he
blazes though Tahoe! The song "Because
I Got High" was based on Afroman's
inability to clean up his room. The song
lists a number of activities -- cleaning
his room, going to court, attending class
-- that get derailed because of "reefer
madness." But that didn't stop his success!
The song is the #1 downloaded ringtone
in the word, it made it to the soundtrack
of Kevin Smith's film Jay and Silent Bob
Strike Back starring Matt Damon and Ben
Affleck, it got him signed to a 6 record deal
with Universal Records and it keeps him
playing sold-out show after sold out show,
Were not slowing down for Spring
either. May brings us the hottest Cinco
de Mayo Party in South Lake. The
Patron will be flowin with superstar DJBrird and DJ Keenan spinning Hip-Hop,
Electro, Reggaeton and Mash-up's at
Mo's Place on 5/5. Pato Banton will be
making an appearance in Reno on 5/11
and I am proud to announce Detroits
finest, Eminem's supergroup, D12 on
5/15 in Reno. This show was almost sold
out the day we put tickets on sale so get
one if you can!! GIRLS gone WILD will be
making there annual rounds as they finish
up with Spring Break in South Padre Island
and coming to town on 5/17 at Mo's. The
infamous Tour Bus will be on location and
the Film Crew will be filming live for their
2nd season of "Hottest Girl in America" on
Mark Cuban's HDNET TV. Don't miss the
$200 cash prize wet t-shirt and more! You
even get a free DVD with paid cover!
If I haven't already made the
announcement sooner, this time next
month I will be telling everyone about the
next big and exciting endeavor of mine. Its
a little to early to leak it yet but I can assure
you, I will have Tahoe rockin' on a whole
new level!! I just launched a new website
at www.LakeNiteProductions.com so
please bookmark it. You can be the first
to find out about Tahoe's hottest Concerts
and Events, buy tickets there and more! I
have to give a shout-out to Sierra At Tahoe
for their continued support.
Till next time, Keep the Vibe Alive!

COMEDY FROM THE MOUNTAIN
So the snow has dissipated and
people have put aside their desire to kill
people now that the sun (and spring)
have finally arrived? Well, it’s about time!
People were calling me up on the air
telling me that this was like the third
heaviest snow season in like 25 years!
Wow. It’s funny too seeing all of the
shingles that have parted ways with my
roof when those huge blocks of ice slid
off in massive chunks. I’m thinking all of
this snow (especially out in the Meyers
and Christmas Valley area) will be gone
by June. When that happens I’m going to
have the greenest grass in Tahoe. Why?
Well all during the snow season we would
let the dogs outside on two relatively
long chains that pretty much covered the
perimeter of the front yard. They did their
business (lots of business too I might
add) and then it would be covered up
when the next system moved in so I’m
predicting by this time next month a lot of
that fertilizer will find its way to whatever
grass is frozen under there and eventually
turn from its natural color turning into a
big, damn green machine to assist in the
reforestation process. Ah nature ai its
very best.
Speaking of all things natural
comedian Joe Starr is back for the first
time in ages and this time he’s bringing
his wife, Fran who has never been up
to Tahoe before. We love Joe because
he’s not only one of the best story tellers
around and I don’t mean that in a tucks to
bed ever night kind of thing either no. Joe
is like a throw back to those old days of
comedy where the you really have to wait
to get to the eventual punch line because
of the build up but always well worth the
extra wait. It’s because in part to his
whole New York attitude. A lot of attitude.
Maybe becasue it runs in his family? I
mean his grandfather was a vaudeville
performer and Joe says that talent in his
family skips a generation so that makes
Joe the keeper of the laughter. The last
time he was here I had him on both my
radio and television show. I asked him
about talent skipping a generation in hs
family and he said “Yeah, it’s actually a
common thread with most comedians I
know. I’m sure it was the same with you
Howie. I mean, you’re father must have
been hilarious.” Was that a cut? Be sure
to see a little east coast with Joe along
with Don McEnery the week of April 6th
through the 10th.
Back to headline for the second time
up here is Scott Henry. He had to start
headlining because hen he was middling
he was making it tough for the headliner
so it was bound to happen…..finally. Like
a good Midwestern boy, Scott followed in
his father’s footsteps and began working
as a machinist in a tool and die shop.
That was back in 1988. He knew that
life wasn’t for him even though it made
perfect sense for a career in stand up.
One day Scott’s boss stopped by the
machine he was operating and suggested
he go to an open mic night at the nearby
comedy club. That’s funny because you
get the idea his boss was dropping very
strong hints to NOT become a machinist
like his father. Either that or was going
to fire him! The great news is that Scott
did very well at that open mic night and
Scott was hooked. A year later he left
Milwaukee for good and pursued his
career developing indo a fine stand-up
comedian. Working with Scott is Darryl
Lenox and I’m stoked that he’s here this
week. He was here only one time and
that was three years ago! First off his
humor is extremely insightful, incisive
and pushes it to the edge commenting
on the absurdity of everyday life. Second,
he does a killer Morgan Freeman that
nobody can touch! And get this: he too
wasn’t supposed to go into comedy. After
a friend challenged him to stop talking
and start living, he entered an open mic
competition in Seattle and the rest is
history. Admittedly his first set wasn’t
exactly flawless, but it did plant a seed
that would grow into lifelong obsession.
Lenox embraced his gift, fought hard
and people began to talk. Seizing every
opportunity, Darryl won more and more
stage time throughout the Northwest and
revealed the beginnings of a world-class
stand-up career. Darryl now tours the
globe and entertains at world-renowned
comedy festivals like HBO’s Comedy Arts
Festival in Aspen and Montreal’s Just For
Laughs Comedy Festival. Lenox has built
up an impressive list of accomplishments
including appearances on A&E’s Evening
at the Improv, Comedy Central’s Live at
Gotham, Jamie Foxx’s Laffa Pallooza,
BET’s Comic View, and Montreal’s Just
For Laughs Festival. Catch both Darryl
and Scott April 13th through the 17rh.
This is Joel Lindley’s second time
here as a headliner. I think what I like
most about watching Joel perform is
the expression on the unsuspecting
audience’s faces when they hear some of
the stuff he says. I don’t know maybe it’s
his sarcastic, observational slant directed
at authority figures that cracks me (and
the crowds) up the most. Maybe it’s the
women in his life who he sometimes has
little patience with? Although I have to
admit looking back it was pretty funny
when one of his ex-girlfriends had the
password to one of his social networking
sites (might have been MySpace it was a
while back) and changed the password
after posting that he was a bunch of
things that I can’t print here and asked
who out there has dated him and would
they like to also post their comment too?
Joel has done some pretty off-the-wall
things I admit some pretty damn funny
too. Remember not too long ago when
there were tons of those spam emails
from Nigerian embassies or ndividuals
promising that millions of dollars were
waiting for you if you would send over
your SS#, pin number and oh yeah-$500
to $5000 as a ‘processing fee” and then
the money was all yours? Well Joel would
actually send replies to ALL of those
emails and have a check ready after
setting up an appointment to actually meet
with them at the Los Angles International
Airport! He would give them the bogus
check if they would agree to have their
picture taken holding an outrageous sign
or posing like an nimrod to show what
idiots they were. After he got his pic
Joel would then post them on a website
dedicated exclusively to those scammers
for all to see! I thought for sure we would
never hear from Joel again. He’s back
and so is Shayla Rivera! She’s on my
radio show every Wednesday morning in
a segment we call, “It’s Rocket Science
with Shayla Rivera” but seeing her in
person is always way better. To this day
I wonder what was going through Shayla
River’s head when she told her parents
she was giving up her job as a rocket
scientist for NASA to become a full-fledged
comedian. Shayla really was a rocket
scientist working on the space shuttle
and Space Station systems at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center in Houston. She
attended Texas A&M University earning
her degree in Aerospace Engineering and
then landed the gig at NASA soon after.
This was her chosen career path because
she wanted to be an astronaut when
she grew up. Quite a dream too for the
ambitious Shayla. While she was at NASA
Shayla realized that her calling was going
to lie elsewhere. She had anticipated
being in a world on the leading edge of
technology guided by Americas’ greatest
minds but instead Shayla found out, “It
was more like being at K-Mart with lots of
pocket protectors.” The native of Puerto
Rico still jokes that one of the reasons
she left NASA was that “They wouldn’t let
me put St. Christopher on the Shuttle’s
dashboard.” Sshayla and Joel April 20th
to the 24th.

Fly Fishing
What are we going to do with
all of this water? Hopefully fish in
it! This has been one of the bigger
winters I can remember and I can't
remember not being able to fish on
a river in the month of March. Don't
fear though, the fishing is already
back and the flows will hopefully not
get to out of control over the next
few months. It has been good for
the rivers especially the East Walker
River where the flows reached 850
CFS. These flows blew out the
silt and all the weeds and the river
hasn't looked so good in years! You
have to have big flows now and
again to keep our rivers healthy
and with controlled flows below our
reservoirs the rivers were looking
pretty ugly from the past few years
of drought. I'd say we are back in
business but we might be fishing a
lot of Streamers this spring.
Indian Creek Reservoir has
been stocked with some pretty good
quality fish over the past month or
so and if the rivers blow out again
it will be one of our better options
for wetting a fly. Buggers and Blood
Midges should be the ticket during
the month of April! Look for fish
rising to the Blood Midges in the
afternoons and evenings otherwise
throw a Bugger backed with a Blood
Midge trailer stripped slowly on a
full sinking line. Float Tubers tend
to have better access to the rising
fish but I have had many a good day
just fishing from the banks!
Pyramid
Lake
is
doing
wonderfully and will just get better
and better as we get closer to the
month of May. I have heard of
more fish over 10 pounds lately
than I have in many years, I might
have to give it a go myself some
time soon. Dark and light Buggers,
Beetles and Chironomids fished
with a full sinking line from a ladder
is the tradition but if the fish aren't
taking the stripped fly switch to the
indicator system. Copper Johns,
PT's, or just about any thing that
has some flash will work!
The East Walker had some great
hatches prior to the high water and
with the weeds and silt went some
of the Baetis Nymphs. The hatch
is still there but not as heavy as it
was. The Stones seemed to stick
around and when the water gets
a bit warmer the fish should start
eating them. Otherwise streamers
are going to be the norm!
Who knows when we will see
the road to the Little Truckee? At
this point I would say not until mid
April at the earliest. The flows
have stayed down this winter and
hopefully when the road opens the
water won't go too high. The LT can
be a lot of fun when the Baetis are
going in April!
Get your last chance at the
Tahoe Keys this April, Fish and
Game will be removing as many of
the Warm Water Species as they
can. If you like fishing for Bass,
Crappie or the Bluegill in the Keys
get in there soon! The Browns tend
to get in there this time of year as
Victor Babbit
well and they are not targeting them
but they are targeting some of the
fish they like to eat. Buggers with a
full sinking line work great!
If you would like further
information on these fisheries or
any others in our area, stop by
Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters or give
us a call and we will set you up
with what ever it takes to get you
out on the water for a great day of
fishing! We are located at 2705
Lake Tahoe Blvd. about 3.5 miles
from the Casinos. 530-541-8208

Entertainment & Events
Spring is here, weather is improving,
and we keep working hard at PRE to
bring some of the hottest shows in the
country to Lake Tahoe for spring ski/
snowboard season. We had a blast in
March with some great shows, but what
stands out from all of them is the Trevor
Hall concert we did for the Jerel Dutton
Benefit. It was a magical evening from
beginning to end. The Mark Sexton
Band from Reno opened the show, then
Jerel Dutton made his homecoming
debut, singing two amazing songs and
addressing the audience for the first
time since his almost losing his life back
in November.

“fan” of PRE, you can also win tickets to
all our shows, backstage passes, even
room/show packages.
We will start out our spring season
with one of the funniest ladies of
comedy, Sarah Silverman on April
9. Sarah's comic style is somewhat
controversial and could perhaps be
considered edgy, or even over the edge.
She was raised by Jewish parents, so
the topic of religion is often on the table.
She has also addressed issues like
sex and racism in her shows. If you’re
never seen Sarah Silverman, I highly
recommend her if you love to laugh!!
She’s great.
Yonder Mountain String Band will
stop in Lake Tahoe on their spring tour,
on Wednesday, April 20. Yonder on
4/20 will be one of the best shows this
season. Guaranteed to sell-out so get
your tickets early. Yonder Mountain
String Band has always played music by
its own set of rules. Bending bluegrass,
rock and countless other influences that
the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a
sound of their own. With their traditional
lineup of instruments, the band may
look like a traditional bluegrass band at
first glance but they’ve created their own
music that transcends any genre. Dave
Johnston points out “What could be
more pure than making your own music.”
Yonder’s sound cannot be classified
purely as “bluegrass” or “string music”
but rather it’s an original sound created
from “looking at music from [their] own
experiences and doing the best job
possible.” The band continues to play
by their own rules on their new record
The Show.

(501c3) produces events around the
globe to save earth's precious resource,
the rain forest. The Amazon Foundation
was established in 2009 to acquire and
to preserve large tracts of the Amazon
rainforest in their natural state in order
to maintain its ecological function,
biodiversity, and climatologic function
and to protect the region's long-term
ecological viability and to create global
awareness for the cause via marketing
campaigns and charitable events. Our
#1 goal is to purchase pristine rain
forest acreage and to leave this in its
natural state for posterity. DJ Paul
Oakenfold has graciously donated his
time and resources to star in three world
events. The first was in Los Angeles
which sold out the famous Avalon Club/
Theatre, then this Lake Tahoe event
on May 27, followed by our Rio event
in South America on top of Sugar Loaf
Mountain later this year.

Blu
On April 20th, after the Yonder
Mountain String Band concert, the
action really heats up in Blu, when
the nation’s premier master of good
time energy “Mimosa” showcases
a surreal talent to effortlessly journey
through Dubstep, Glitch Hop and
Experimental Hip Hop to the delight of
his ever growing fan base. MiMOSA
has made a distinct mark on the west
coast sound in the past two years and
has become one of the top west coast
exports. This young producer’s energy
whilst performing is magnetic; the
word has spread fast and Mimosa has
recently shared the stage with the likes
Benga, Skream, Rusko, Datsik, Glitch
Mob, Pretty Lights, Bassnectar and

ZONE
The Zone features televised sports
and all the UFC action including the
April 30th UFC 129 epic showdown
of St-Pierre/Shields. UFC
129 is expected to break
attendance
and
gate
records for the UFC and
North American MMA. StPierre, recently posted
his fifth consecutive title
defense with a lopsided
unanimous-decision win
over Josh Koscheck at
UFC 124. The fighter,
who many consider the
world's top-ranked poundfor-pound
competitor,
essentially would clean out
the welterweight division
with a win over Shields.
It'd also mark St-Pierre’s
ninth straight win and 15th
victory in his past 16 fights.
