If you are not familiar with the Blue Man Group, it is a live show with a ton of energy. Blue Man Group’s theatrical acts incorporate rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. They preform on a year round basis at the Venetian in Las Vegas and were previously located at the Luxor Las Vegas.

They also have preformances across the nation. This is a great show that you will enjoy. However, they will only be at the Beau Rivage for 2 days, for a total of 3 shows, so make sure you get your tickets now. Here is the info below:

Though this week, from an entertainment standpoint, is a bit quite, consider it a breather. The future, both far and near, may take your breath away.

There’s a host of musical and, in some cases, comedy acts heading our direction. Some are a little impressive, others are stellar. We report, you decide.

This one’s a doozy. Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price perform 7:30 p.m. Aug. 19, as part of their Last of the Breed tour. The most expensive seats ($59) have already sold out, but $39 and $49 (plus tax and service charge) seats are still available. For more info, call the Coliseum box office at (228) 594-3707 or 594-3708.

At the Beau Rivage, Carrot Top takes the stage with his zany comedy act, also on Aug. 19, followed five days later by the legendary B.B. King, who performs 8 p.m. Aug. 24. (Look for an upcoming interview with Carrot Top here in Marquee). It will be particularly great to see Mr. King, who participated in a gala 80th birthday celebration here in South Mississippi way back in August of 2005. Seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?

The Beau Rivage will also play host to, well, a host of upcoming acts, including 4 Tops & The Temptations (Sept. 21), Joe Dee Messina (Sept. 28), Sammy Hagar (Oct. 19), Kenny Loggins (Nov. 1) and, the following day, one of my personal favorites, the incomparable Willie Nelson (Nov. 2).

Hard Rock Biloxi, meanwhile, has added a fresh influx of talent flocking to the Coast to perform at its live music venue, Hard Rock Live. Next up, on Aug. 23, is John Kay and Steppenwolf. Now let’s take a look at what’s on the Hard Rock horizon - Macy Gray and the Brand New Heavies (Aug. 31), Lynyrd Skynyrd (Sept. 6), ESPN2 Friday Night Fights (Sept. 7), The All-American Rejects (Sept. 13), Joss Stone (Sept. 16), Aaron Lewis of Staind (a solo acoustic performance, Sept. 19), and, last but most certainly not least, good ol’ Quiet Riot (Sept. 20).

And then there’s Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis. That establishment plays host, both on Aug. 21 and Sept. 1, to the venerable Neville Brothers, who are set to perform in the Hollywood Ballroom. Tickets are on sale now, and available at Tokens Gift Shop or by phone at 1-866-7-LUCKY-1.

For more information, or to purchase tickets to a Beau Rivage show, call the box office at 1-888-566-7469. To purchase tickets to a Hard Rock concert, log on to ticketmaster.com.

So mark your favorite shows on your calendar or your personal organizer, or, just tie a string around your finger. Or, just keep reading Marquee.

Taylor Hicks plays the Mississippi Coast Coliseum this Friday night.

Chris Daughtry brings his self-titled band to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Biloxi on Saturday.

Tickets are available at each respected box offices and I also believe Ticketmaster. If you can pictures, please submit to Biloxi Entertainment.
