We can’t wait to see what the second season will unveil,” said Scott Savin, Chief Operating Officer of Magic City Casino. “The audience is in for three amazing shows. Gin Blossoms, Tracy Morgan and Bret Michaels will each bring down the house! How often do you get to experience outstanding entertainment and support local artists in one evening? It’s a win-win on all fronts.”
