Swingin' At The Sands on July 9, 2025 at 7 Vines Vineyard in Dellwood
The Copa Room in the Sands Hotel and Casino was home to some of history's most legendary entertainers in the 50's & 60's. Among others, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., lit up Las Vegas with an excitement that brought people from
all over the world to revel in the amusement. Gary LaRue and his Rat Pack Band bring some of that same music, style, energy, and fun to their concert
at 7 Vines Vineyard in Dellwood, Minnesota.
Gary, along with Ted Godbout on piano, Matt Senjem on bass, Nathan Norman on drums and Mitch Van Laar on trumpet, will be performing some of the greatest songs ever written. You'll hear Luck Be A Lady, You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You, Route 66, Sway and many more. In between songs, a few brief, interesting tidbits of
history will be tossed in for good measure.
This is two hours of non-stop entertainment. If you like the music of Frank, Dean, Sammy, Nat, etc., and you enjoy having fun, you're going to like this show!
With buttery smooth vocals and a fun-loving, carefree style, Gary has a way of bringing joy to audiences of all ages while capturing the essence of a vintage Vegas lounge experience. Come and experience Swingin’ At The Sands starring Gary LaRue and his Rat Pack Band!

***PLEASE NOTE*** - There are two distinct Ticket Purchase options for this show.
One is for regular, low table seating and the other is for high-top seating.
Low table seating at The Dugout is limited, so please only choose low table seating if you really need it. Some people are not physically able to get up and down into high-top seating so we'd like to keep as many of those seats available for those people. On the bright side, the chairs at the high-top tables do have back rests too!

Hey Everyone! If you're looking for entertainment for your wedding, private or corporate party, anniversary, grand opening or pretty much any event, consider me, Gary LaRue and Rat Pack Entertainment.
If you want a singer, I can do that. Backed instrumentally by anything from a big band to a quartet all the way down to a computer, I specialize in singing the hits of the Rat Pack era and other easy listening classics - that I call "Vintage Groove Music". If you want a DJ, I can do that too. If you want a singing DJ, I think I'm the only one in the world who does that! (That's probably not true but I don't know of any others!)
Singer, DJ, Photo Booth, Ice Cream Tricycle, PA Equipment Rental - all to help you have a happy and memorable event.
Take a look around my site, watch some videos and send me a note if you'd like. Thanks for stopping by and have
a wonderful day! ~ Gary
