MUSIC IS IN THE AIR FOR RIVERS CASINO PITTSBURGH’S 15TH ANNIVERSARY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bill Henry Band plays free outdoor summer concert on Aug. 8 with monthlong fun ahead
PITTSBURGH — Aug. 1, 2024 — Fifteen years ago, on Aug. 9, 2009, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh opened its doors. Gaming legislation at that time allowed for only slots on the gaming floor. But within a year, table games, including poker, were approved in Pennsylvania. A lucky seven years later, sports betting was legalized and soon thereafter iGaming and more.
For Pittsburgh it all started on the North Shore, where Rivers Casino’s ongoing reinvestment — exemplified by a recent $6.6 million ballroom expansion — has reinforced its commitment to Western Pennsylvania. Today, with eight restaurants and bars on property and The Landing Hotel adjacent, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh continues to be a strong economic engine, a great place to work and a proud community partner.
Bill Henry Band Free Amphitheater Concert
On Thursday, Aug. 8, join us for a soulful outdoor edition of our summer entertainment lineup. Bill Henry Band (BHB), one of Pittsburgh’s preeminent R&B acts, will perform a free community concert starting at 7 p.m. in Rivers Casino’s outdoor amphitheater.
Guests can look forward to hearing the velvety smooth vocals as featured on hits from BHB’s 2019 album “Ride,” including the Indie Soul chart-topper “Slow Down,” as well as the group’s more recent R&B releases, like “What Love Can Do” and “The One.” BHB stylings effortlessly segue through R&B, soul, funk and hip-hop.
Outdoor seating for Bill Henry Band’s Aug. 8 amphitheater performance is on a first-come, first-served basis, and outside concessions will be available for purchase. For more information, please visit RiversCasino.com/Pittsburgh.
