En Vogue Plays Multiple Hits One Night at John Ascuaga’s NuggetSparks/Reno, Nev. – En Vogue rocketed to the top of the R&B-pop charts in the 1990s with a string of top hits. See all four original members together when En Vogue plays the Celebrity Showroom, April 25, at John Ascuaga’s Nugget.
En Vogue is a female vocal quartet that exudes sultriness and intelligence in addition to vocal proficiency. Fusing R&B and girl group traditions with hip-hop and new jack swing rhythms, they have crafted an image as stylish, sophisticated, and sexy success. En Vogue's debut album, Born to Sing, appeared in 1990 and launched the pop crossover smash "Hold On," which peaked at number two and helped the album go platinum. The group attracted comparisons to the Supremes, even though members shared lead vocals and intentionally designated no particular singer the "star." When En Vogue returned in 1992 with Funky Divas, critical and commercial response was overwhelming. The album's wide array of styles, from pop and R&B to rap, rock, and reggae, were well received; the first three singles - "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)," "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" (both covers of songs written by Curtis Mayfield), and "Free Your Mind" (which borrowed a chorus line from George Clinton) - reached the Top Ten, and the album went multi-platinum. En Vogue was in the Top Ten again in 1993, backing Salt-N-Pepa on their hit "Whatta Man."
En Vogue plays one night, Saturday, April 25, in the Celebrity Showroom at 8 p.m. Tickets are just $50 and are available by calling (800) 648-1177 or (775) 356-3300 or by visiting janugget.com. Dinner and show packages are available. “Do the Nugget Tonight!”
