On Jan. 8, The King of rock-‘n’- roll would have celebrated his 69th birthday. In honor of this momentous day, we’re treating all Winner’s Circle members to an Elvis tribute concert from The Great Pretender, Michael & Blue Suede, on Jan. 9 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Jan. 10 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Throughout this four-day celebra tion, we’ll have a display of Elvis memorabilia, a complimentary birthday cake, and Elvis merchandise giveaways. In addition to the showroom con certs, everyone age 21 and over is invited to see Michael’s Elvis Unplugged tribute in the Rogue River Lounge in the afternoons of Jan. 8 and Jan. 11. Tickets for the Winner’s Circle con certs are available after 10 a.m. on New Year’s Day at the casino box office. They will be given out on a first-come, first- served basis; limit of two per person. Rawls Returns with R&B Sound Smooth, cool, classy, and three-time Grammy-winning singer Lou Rawls will perform at Chinook Winds Casino on Jan. 16-17. Both shows are at 8 p.m. and tickets ($ 15-$3O) are on sale now. Rawls is known for crooning some of the most definitive R&B music of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Hits like Love is a Hurtin Thing, Dead End Street, A Natural Man, You’ll Never Find (Another Love Like Mine), Groovy People, See You When I Git There, Lady Love, and Let Me Be Good To You have cemented him as one of music history’s great song stylists. It’s no wonder that Frank Sinatra referred to Rawls’ voice as “the class iest singing and silkiest chops in the singing game.” Lou Rawls Renowned Wood Carver Featured at Coastal Carvers Show and Sale The 12th Annual Coastal Carvers Show and Sale will be held at Chinook Winds Casino on Jan. 17-18. This free art show will house dozens of fine wood carvers with their work on display for enjoyment and purchase. Demonstrations for children and adult carvers will teach aspiring artists as well as lovers of the art. For those interested in taking up carving or replenishing their carving tool sets, supplies also will be available for sale. Cleve Taylor, an accomplished caricature wood carver, is the featured artist of this year’s show. He’s published several books on the subject and in 1995 was elected to become a member of the elite Caricature Carvers of America. The group has chosen only 25 members in 12 years. A professor of adult education at the University of Idaho, Taylor didn’t start carving until 1986. He’s been invited to the show by the Lincoln City Carvers to coincide with this year’s carving style, caricature. The 12th Annual Coastal Carvers Show and Sale is an all-ages event, open to the public and free of charge. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 17 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Jan. 18.
