Years of ranch work and rodeo competitions have certainly influenced Oscar-winning singer/songwriter Ryan Bingham, who brought his bluesy, rock n’ roll tunes to the Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan last night (Thursday, June 13). Bingham’s road-weary sound drove the crowd wild, with notable performances of “Southside of Heaven,” and “The Weary Kind,” Bingham’s Oscar-winning single from the Jeff Bridges film, Crazy Heart.
As the sun sets over The Strip each Thursday night, the Boulevard Pool deck comes to life with the energy of Las Vegas during the Set Your Life to Music series. From the aroma of the outdoor grills to the sounds of hand-crafted cocktails being stirred, guests can revel in the spirit of music at the intimate outdoor venue. Doors open at 7 p.m. with celebrated DJ Mike Attack spinning before headliners take the stage at 9 p.m.
The Set Your Life to Music series features: Infected Mushroom (June 20); Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown (June 27); Twin Shadow (July 4); Makua Rothman (July 11); Elan Atias (July 18); Theophilus London (July 25); Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (August 1); Gary Clark, Jr. (August 8); Rebelution and Matisyahu (August 22); Fitz and the Tantrums (September 5); blink-182 with special guest New Beat Fund (September 19) and The Naked and Famous (October 24).
