CLINT HOLMES' SOPHISTICATED RHYTHMS

A SUMMER SENSATION

AT THE SANDS HOTEL & CASINO


Atlantic City, NJ --- The sensational Clint Holmes joins a fabulous cast of
singers and dancers, plus a red-hot live band, reliving more than six decades 
of hit music in Clint Holmes' Sophisticated Rhythms now playing at the Sands
Hotel and Casino until August 31.

Enjoy hit music from The Mills Brothers to Smokey Robinson, Louie Armstrong 
to Nat King Cole and The Supremes to the Pointer Sisters. From The Platters 
to Johnny Mathis, Marvin Gaye to Patti LaBelle, nearly two dozen American
singing legends are featured in a Greg Thompson Productions show filled with
non-stop smiles and classic memories.

Clint Holmes' Sophisticated Rhythms is produced by Greg Thompson Productions, 
who presented back-to-back stage hits, "Hollywood" and "Escapade" at the 
Sands.

A three-time Atlantic City Entertainer of the year, Clint Holmes is a star
for many reasons. Clint has recently released an album, "Edges," his own
one man stage show, "Comfortable Shoes," which may be headed for Broadway
soon, plus television appearances and live performing.

Clint Holmes' great voice will be complemented by six singers, plus the deft
dancing feet of Walter Freeman, a show-stopper from the Escapade cast. 
Freeman's tap skills were on parade in the Tony Award-winning Broadway show,
"Black and Blue".

A rarity for Atlantic City production shows is a live band but Clint Holmes' 
Sophisticated Rhythms has an unbelievable five piece band. Musical Director
George Mesterhazy, a piano genius who has the unique skills to produce and
direct albums while also touring with top jazz musicians. Mesterhazy's own
Bright Moments Productions, Inc. produced his first releases, "A Little
Romance ... Now and Then" plus commerical recordings and special events.

The cast of six singers, three female and three male, have enormous talents,
impressive resumes and the potential for stage greatness. The ladies include
New York native Capathia Jenkins, who has starred in the national touring
company of "Dreamgirls," Cat Hollingsworth, who performed in the 25th
Anniversary tour of "Hair," and Shirell Ferguson, who toured across the 
United States in shows from "Dreamgirls" to "Sophisticated Ladies."

The trio of male singers have equally prestigious credits. Teren Carter was a
singer in Cameron McIntosh and Stella Productions' "Miss Saigon" and "A 
Chorus Line," while Cecil Parker has starred in Greg Thompson Productions
shows from Philadelphia to Bermuda, plus opening for Earth, Wind & Fire.
Percy Travis III has performed in venues from Atlantic City to Opryland USA,
plus television appearances in "Roots: The Next Generation," and numerous
commercials.

All tickets will be $20. Showtimes are Sunday through Wednesday at 3:30 pm
and 8:00 pm and Saturday at 8:00 pm and 11:00 pm. Tickets may be purchased
at the Sands Box Office, all TicketMaster outlets or by calling TicketMaster
at 1-800-836-1420.
