Imagine sitting in a high-class lounge sipping your favorite cocktail with your partner and enjoying Tinian’s latest entertainment showcase. The newly renovated Jackpot Lounge has re-opened its doors to accommodate a show featuring the Dynasty Show Girls and CNMI’s number one band, Big Beats.
Big Beats, managed by Weevo Entertainment, is a local group from Saipan who is now playing at Tinian Dynasty. Their performances have included five-star hotels such as Holiday Inn Manila, and also other night spots in the Philippines and Japan. On Saipan they have performed in popular venues such as the Hard Rock Café and The Field. The band’s repertoire ranges from standard jazz, ballads, to rock and pop music from the 60s to the current radio hits.
The lead guitarist, Floyd, does a wonderful rendition of Freddie Mercury’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”; Hermes could seduce you to the dance floor with the ballads of Lionel Richie while playing the drums at the same time. Rock the disco floor with Steve’s impression of the latest Santana song “Smooth”; Mark on bass guitar and Cesar on keyboards also contribute to the repertoire of the Beatles, Eagles to Bee Gees. The band also includes a mixture of local favorites and Japanese songs. They perform three sets nightly.
