He’s been featured on national television platforms such as CBS News and CNBC, plus Hot Off the Grill With Bobby Flay and NBC’s Dare to Dream.

Concert Date: Saturday, June 18 at 8pm (Gates open 7pm)
Ticket prices: $35-$75
Box Office: theamppompano.org & goldstar.com (discount tickets)

The legendary front man of Mötley Crüe is coming to Pompano! His unmistakable voice lead some of the greatest rock songs of this generation including “Shout At The Devil,” “Home Sweet Home,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My Heart,” “Same Ol Situation,” and “Saints of Los Angeles.” Opening for Neil will be hard rock icons, Great White.

Vince Neil will be singing all of his classic hits at The Amp, from both his years with Mötley Crüe and his three solo albums. The badass performer is also working on new music, and he has hinted about performing some of it during this tour.

“I’ll say that we are recording some stuff for a new record this year,” he said in a Loudwire interview in January. “You often hear some surprises at our shows. I don’t want to give away some of those surprises…The music is exciting. It’s good, fun, nasty, raw energy and goods songs.”

Neil has also signed on to be a contestant on the upcoming season of The Celebrity Apprentice, which will feature new host Arnold Schwarzenegger.

A respected philanthropist, Neil established The Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation (www.skylarneil.org), as tribute to his daughter whom he lost to cancer in 1995, the organization has raised over $2 million to help combat childhood cancer.

Opening for Neil is Great White, a band whose sound has captivated audiences worldwide with crushing blues-based guitar riffs and swagger that invokes an emotional high for anyone who listens. The band’s core writing team of Michael Lardie and Mark Kendall forged numerous hits over the years, and when Audie Desbrow joined in ’85, the grooves hooked an amazing stride. For nearly a decade, Scott Snyder has merged his unforgiving rhythm to Desbrow’s relentless percussion. And, in 2011, Terry Ilous’ feverish energy and far-stretching vocals melted perfectly into the Great White mold.

The band has sold 10 million albums worldwide, had has six Top 100 Billboard hits, nine Top 200 Billboard albums, two platinum albums. At The Amp show, Great White will be performing all their classic hits including, “Once Bitten , Twice Shy,” “ Rock Me,” “Mista Bone,” “ Save Your Love,” “ Lady Red Light,” “ Something for You,” “Hard to Say Goodbye” and more.

***** The Pastrami Project Delicatessen.

Real short tale to tell you guys…

A couple of weeks ago, Jeff Eats was in the Orlando-area and came across food truck- The Pastrami Project Delicatessen- that makes outrageously delicious pastrami sandwiches. Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I bought a couple of the suckers and devoured them during my 2-hour and 46 minute Florida Turnpike trip back to Boca Raton.

You guys down “south” now- got another reason to visit Orlando- besides Space Mountain, your kid at UCF and Halloween Horror Nights!

For more info on the Orlando based “truck” – pastramiproject.com, (321) 804-2686.

* Ricky Martin -One World Tour 2016.

Jeff Eats can’t think of even one person that- gives a good crap…

Just in case you do!

* Palm Beach County Trying To Raise Sales Tax From 6% To 7%!

The government powers to be- are trying to get a “vote” on the issue this coming November 8, 2016!

All Jeff Eats knows is that in 2016 Social Security Benefits didn’t increase (that’s the first time in the past 40 years)- yet you guys and Jeff Eats both know that “everything” in the supermarket and elsewhere costs more today than it did last year! The local and national bullshit artists tell- you the price of gas has declined, so no need for a SS-increase!

You do the numbers- “run” your own family’s numbers!

If you live in Palm Beach County- I say VOTE NO!- if you give the bastards more money, they’ll just waste it like they do with the 6% we already give them!

Trust Jeff Eats, the money belongs in your pocket not the County’s!

* Otis Cadillac & The El Dorados featuring The Seville Sisters (Rip’s Sports Bar & Grill- Pompano Beach).

Rather than rehashing stuff- let’s just say that, Otis Cadillac & The El Dorados featuring The Seville Sisters is one of Jeff Eats favorite South Florida blues/50s rock n roll bands! If you haven’t yet seen this quirky, creative, fun loving, cool, super talented group of musicians in action- you owe it to yourself to go see them!
