Las Vegas is always welcoming legendary artists to its lineup, and this fall, the Entertainment Capital of the World will usher in Grammy Award winner Kenny Loggins at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for a three-night run September 5, 7 and 8.
Backed by his band, Loggins will perform his most acclaimed songs from some of Hollywood’s greatest soundtracks, as well as new original music.
Loggins began his career as a member of Loggins and Messina. With Jimmy Messina, the pair achieved great success in the early ’70’s with “Danny’s Song,” “House at Pooh Corner,” and “Your Mama Don’t Dance.” After selling more than 16 million records and becoming one of the leading musical duos of the decade, Loggins and Messina broke up in 1976. Loggins would continue on to launch a solo career that has lasted for more than four decades.
The Guild of Music Supervisors recently honored Loggins with the organization’s first-ever Icon Award on Feb 1, 2018, for his outstanding achievements in film, television and soundtracks. Through the ‘80s and ‘90s he was known as “The Soundtrack King.” His contributions include Caddyshack’s “I’m Alright,” Top Gun’s “Danger Zone,” Footloose’s self-titled theme “Footloose,” Barbra Streisand’s “I Believe in Love,” and Stevie Nicks’ “Whenever I Call You Friend.” The song, “What a Fool Believes” with Michael McDonald earned Loggins and McDonald the 1980 Grammy for “Song of the Year.”
With 12 platinum albums, a few Grammys and hits on almost all Billboard charts, Loggins continues to do what he loves – be a singer, songwriter, philanthropist and author. He recently released his latest children’s project, the book Footloose. In addition, he is developing a children’s entertainment and branding company based on his inspired works, and looks forward to a new PBS Soundstage special set to air this fall.
