Deadwood’s newest casino and entertainment venue will feature live music nightly in the Slime Plant Bar & Lounge, the Main Stage and the VIP deck. Special events will feature top biker artists, the Hooters Calendar Girls, an Artist Colony and a special appearance by Pat Simmons of the Doobie Brothers.

El Camino, a band featuring Nashville’s James Otto, Jon Nicholson and Shannon Lawson – members of Big & Rich’s Muzik Mafia – will perform on the Deadwood Mountain Grand’s Main Stage in the Event Center nightly from Monday, Aug. 8, to Saturday, Aug. 13.

Biker artist Scott Jacobs will be displaying his work and meeting with fans at Deadwood Mountain Grand on Tuesday, Aug. 9, from noon to 3 p.m. Jacobs will display “Some Ride, SUNSET,” a painting created especially for the 2011 Sturgis Rally.

In addition, writer Cris Sommer Simmons and her husband, Doobie Brothers singer and songwriter Pat Simmons, will join him for the reception. Jacobs’ new painting, “Effie,” depicts Sommer Simmons’ 1915 Harley-Davidson 11J Twin 3-speed. In September 2010, she rode the vintage Harley from Kitty Hawk, N.C., to Santa Monica, Calif., the only American woman to complete the Cannonball Endurance Run.
