The Rotary Club of Indian Wells is promoting a benefit concert called “Music for Scholars” to be held at 7 pm on Friday, November 11, 2016 at The Show at Agua Caliente in Rancho Mirage, a premiere 2,057 seat concert venue. All ticket proceeds benefit the Rotary Club of Indian Wells Foundation scholarship fund. The club provides scholarship grants to local Coachella Valley students who attend local colleges like the College of the Desert and Cal State University San Bernardino.

This will be an exciting, high-profile event for our community and surrounding areas. The concert will feature internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Chuck Negron, the former lead vocalist of bestselling rock band Three Dog Night. Mr. Negron has been a fixture in the American music scene since the 1960s, and has released six solo albums since 1991. The concert will also include a Veterans Day “Salute to the Troops” by The Satin Dollz, Hollywood’s retro pinup darlings who specialize in charming audiences with their talented tap-dancing and pitch-perfect harmonies. They have delivered show-stopping performances for the Wounded Warriors Project and the USO, among other organizations.

Tickets prices range from $50 to $150 and can be purchased through iwrotary.com. For corporate sponsorship opportunities, specialty tickets packages including “meet and greet” seats, and to send active duty service members to the concert via “Tickets for Troops,” call 760-668-0027 or email dana@scadvisors.net. A $1,000 donation for Tickets for Troops purchases 20 general admission tickets for 29 Palms Marines or Sailors to attend the concert on Veterans Day. All Tickets for Troops sponsors will be recognized during the intermission between the Satin Dollz opening act and the Chuck Negron set.
