Blue-Collar Rocker Eddie Money Brings His Hits to John Ascuaga’s Nugget

Sparks/Reno, Nev. – Eddie Money has always had a knack for delivering catchy, hardworking rock and roll songs. From “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets to Paradise,” to “Shakin’” and “Take Me Home Tonight,” this platinum-selling rocker delivers music that ultimately makes you move. See Eddie Money, Saturday, January 30, in the Celebrity Showroom at John Ascuaga’s Nugget.
Money attended the New York Police Academy in the early 1970s to become a New York police officer. He worked briefly at the NYPD, but soon found his calling as a singer. He moved first to Los Angeles, then to San Francisco where he joined with guitarist Jimmy Lyon to form the backbone of the distinctive Money sound. By 1976, he signed to CBS Records with the late promoter Bill Graham. In the subsequent decades, Money released more than a dozen albums, many of which produced memorable classic rock tunes that reached into the upper echelons of the music charts.
Eddie Money performs Saturday, January 30, in the Celebrity Showroom at 8 p.m. Tickets are just $40 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!”
