Two Shows, One Venue at Mount Airy this Weekend

'60s Headliners Gary Puckett and B.J. Thomas to Play Gypsies Lounge and Nightclub

Two of the music industry's most popular – and prolific – performers will take to the stage of Gypsies Lounge and Nightclub this Saturday, March 6, at Mount Airy Casino Resort.

Gary Puckett, formerly of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap — one of the most successful musical acts of the '60s — will perform at 6 p.m. B.J. Thomas – singer of the Oscar-winning single "Raindrops Keeps Fallin' On My Head" – will then hit the stage for a 9 p.m. show.

Tickets for each performance are $50 for the floor, $35 for the mezzanine level and can be purchased by calling 1-877-682-4791.

Garnering six consecutive gold records and as many Top Ten Billboard hits, Puckett and his Union Gap sold more records than any other recording act — including the Beatles. Their singles include "Young Girl," "Woman, Woman," "Over You" and "This Girl is a Woman Now."

To this day, Gary Puckett and The Union Gap's "Greatest Hits" album is one of CBS' best-selling "Collector Series" albums today.

B.J. Thomas – who lays claim to one of the most distinctive voices in American pop music — is also known for the million-selling "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" and his career-igniting hit, the cover of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I could Cry."

After his initial success on a small Southern Label, Thomas signed with New York's Scepter, where the roster also included The Shirelles and Dionne Warwick. In fact, it was Warwick who introduced him to famous songwriter and producer Burt Bacharach, leading to his performance of "Raindrops" for the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
