Free Concerts Sept. 18 & 20 At Las Vegas Civic Center
Events Celebrate The Grand Opening Of Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza
Two free concerts will be held this week to officially open Las Vegas Civic Center and Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza to the public. The new Las Vegas Civic Center is located at 525 S. Main St. and features the outdoor Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza.
The plaza serves as a gathering place for our community and is programmed with festivals, performances and more, right in the heart of downtown Las Vegas.
Upcoming free entertainment includes:
Paige and The Overtones
Thursday, Sept. 18, 5:30 p.m.
Free and open to all.
Born in the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas native Paige Overton has been singing and writing since she could make sound and hold a pencil. As frontwoman of The Clydesdale, a Las Vegas staple in the alternative country genre for 14 years, Paige has shared the stage with legends like Link Wray, Junior Brown, Dick Dale and Wanda Jackson, all the while paving the way for the slicker, much more refined project, Paige and the Overtones.
