Whiskey Myers at Horseshoe Tunica
TUNICA — Whiskey Myers will perform at Horseshoe Tunica on Friday, May 22. The high-energy Southern rock band is set to bring their signature gritty sound to Bluesville at the casino venue.
Hailing from Palestine, Texas, Whiskey Myers formed in 2007 and blends Southern rock, country rock, and hard rock influences, evoking comparisons to Lynyrd Skynyrd with raw, heartfelt lyrics and powerful guitar-driven tracks. They rose to fame through the Texas/Red Dirt scene with early albums like Firewater (2011), which featured the breakout hit “Ballad of a Southern Man.” Their popularity surged further with placements in the hit TV series Yellowstone, boosting streams and mainstream appeal. The band has released multiple acclaimed albums, including their self-titled 2019 project and recent works, amassing billions of streams and sold-out shows.
Hit songs include “Ballad of a Southern Man,” “Stone,” “Broken Window Serenade,” “Lonely East Texas Nights,” and “Bury My Bones.”

Jon Lovitz at Gold Strike on July 31
Comedian and SNL alum brings signature humor to Tunica
TUNICA — Jon Lovitz will take the stage at Gold Strike Casino Resort on Friday, July 31. The show is set for 8 p.m.
Known for his impeccable timing and larger-than-life characters, Jon Lovitz has been making audiences laugh for nearly four decades. The stand-up veteran first exploded into living rooms nationwide as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1985 to 1990, quickly becoming one of the show’s most beloved performers during its storied late-’80s era.
Jon Lovitz
for pure quotability.
After leaving SNL, Lovitz built an
impressive film career with standout roles in The Wedding Singer, A League of Their Own, and Big, and voiced the critic Jay Sherman on the cult-favorite animated series The Critic. Yet fans agree his true magic shines brightest on stage, where his rapid-fire impressions, sardonic observations, and fearless crowd work turn every performance into a master class in comedy.
This one-night-only appearance at Gold Strike’s Millennium Theatre promisesclassicbits,freshmaterial,
Lovitz created a gallery of
unforgettable characters that still live on in pop-culture memory: the pathological liar Tommy Flanagan (“Yeah, that’s the ticket!”), the devilishly smug Master Thespian, and the endlessly annoying Hanukkah Harry. His “Girl Watchers” sketch with Tom Hanks and his operatic “Get to Know Me” bit with Harvey Fierstein remain SNL history
and the unpredictable energy that has kept Lovitz selling out venues across the country.
Call Gold Strike at (866) 245-4536 for ticket information and (888) 245-7829 for hotel information or go on line at goldstrike.com for information about upcoming shows and promotions.
