“Swing” in the New Year with John Tesh at La Quinta Resort & Club
If you're still on the fence for New Year's Eve plans, there's still time to ring in the New Year with big band sound at La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs. Just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, the lush, desert oases provides the perfect spot to say goodbye to 201l.
The Diva digs the Spa big time. Massages, which sound great right now after all this holiday hoopla, are top notch, as are all the other salubrious pampering sessions. There's inviting heated pools, great food and of course the big bang next Saturday.
What it is: A wonderful life with John Tesh--accompanied by an 11-piece rhythm and horn section and all-new inspired big band arrangements--performing classics the way Sinatra and the Rat Pack did back in the day, as well as his signature songs, for an enchanting night of nostalgia.
The two-hour concert program will be preceded by a cocktail reception and three-course dinner that includes: a hearty winter salad to start, choice of Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Mushrooms and Point Reyes Original Blue, or Black Tiger Prawns with Fennel Emulsion; and a decadent Bittersweet Chocolate dessert.
Say who? John Tesh is a six-time Emmy-winning composer, Grammy-nominated musician and nationally syndicated radio host. A household name for his many achievements, including host of "Entertainment Tonight," Tesh is widely acclaimed for his signature piano and vocals, and has made seven hit PBS music specials and sold over seven million albums. He is heard by morethan 14 million avid radio listeners each week on his show “Intelligence For Your Life.”
