New Music: Baauer – Promises ft. Fetty Wap and Dubble Dutch

3 Apr

Good Friday, y’all!

In Vegas club land we are spoiled rotten with the best of the best DJs coming through town on a daily but for me there are a handful of DJs that can get me to a nightclub on a school night, Baauer is one of them. Give a listen to this new track “Promises” featuring Fetty Wap and Dubbel Dutch as part of adidas’ Songs From Scratch series. You should click HERE to read the background on how the song came to be, fascinating. But for now, click play below and then the download button if you like it.

Thanks to thissongissick.com for the good look on this track.

Here’s the deal. My friend Charles Ressler is putting it all on the line tonight for his performance, BRAVE, at 8 p.m. at The Smith Center. There are still some tickets available and I hope you come out tonight for what will be a phenomenal show. Add on that the show benefits three charities near and dear to Charles: I Have a Dream Foundation of Southern Nevada, Opportunity Village and the Las Vegas Philharmonic and there are many, many reasons you should join me and many others at 8 p.m.

What’s it about:
Songs, Stories & Surprises weave a tale of courage, intrepidity, & a daring approach to living life. Love, aspirations, fear, loss, magic, possibility, compassion, empathy, will all be explored through music, stories, & a few surprises illustrating the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. See the show critics have called “nothing short of jaw-dropping,” “a spectacular and moving autobiographical, vocal performance unlike anything you’ve seen,” “A courageous performance that leaves you thinking if someone could stand up & pour it out like that, strutting, dancing & sharing pieces of himself, maybe the rest of us could too.” A show that will benefit some of the most important Organizations in Las Vegas.
