Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband at Art Beat

Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband will be our headlining act for our Art Beat presented by Target event at our Henderson Events Plaza.  They will be performing at 8pm on Friday, May 6th.  We will have pre-show activities starting at 5pm that consists of various art displays, demonstrations and local musicians.  Entry is complimentary, no tickets necessary.

Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband was founded in the mid 1990′s in Ogden, UT.  They had released four studio recorded albums under their own record label before being signed in 2005 to Capitol Records.  They released the album Dream Big, in which had a debut single release of the same title that charted in the top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.  In 2008, the band signed with Montage Music Group.

Ryan Shupe developed the name “The Rubberband” based on his past experience with bands forming and then breaking up.  He wanted to create a band that would be “elastic” in their abilities to have members rotate in and out without disrupting the groove or changing its name.  The band’s sound is best explained as a little country, blue grass and some rock influence as well.

The Department of Cultural Arts and Tourism has enjoyed every minute of  presenting so many musical talents at this year’s Art Beat presented by Target at our Henderson Events Plaza, and having Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband join those ranks is the ultimate icing on the cake!

The Henderson Events Plaza encompasses 2.7 acres with 60,000 square feet of programmable event space with a shaded tiered seating amphitheater with seating and overflow available for 900 people.  It was Nevada’s first public outdoor events plaza completed in 2006.
