Andre Nickatina at Blu Nightclub at Bally’s Lake Tahoe

At 10 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, Late-Nite Productions presents “Bay Area Hip-Hop Showcase” at the Blu Nightclub in Bally’s Resort Casino and Spa, featuring Andrea Nickatina and guest Nef the Pharaoh.

Andrea Nickatina is a rapper from San Francisco. His underground hip hop music has been circulating in the Bay Area since the 1990’s, first appearing as Dre Dog as a member of the group I.M.P. (Ill Mannered Posse). Since then, Nickatina has recorded over nine solo albums, an amateur film, and several albums with fellow local rapper Equipto.

Nef the Pharaoh is known for his energetic, lyrical, and oftentimes boastful bars. The Vallejo, California native was influenced by legends including Mac Dre, E-40, and DJ Mustard. His albums reflect more than his music, bringing up his thoughts on police brutality, gentrification, and other present day issues within inner cities.

At 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4, there will be a living history presentation Chautauqua style by local historian David Woodruff about the Sierra Nevada legend Snowshoe Thompson. The 50-minute long program is free and open to all.

At 10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 5, there will be a second 50-minute free presentation, titled “The Wedding of the Waters.” The slideshow will feature the history of one of the grandest events to have ever taken place in the Eastern Sierras; an extraordinary three-day pageant. The event was carried out in 1949 by Catholic Priest Father John Crowley, who organized the movement of a special gourd of water from the highest lake in the US to the lowest spot in the western hemisphere.

Both events will be held outdoors at the campfire, weather permitting. If there is any inclement weather, the event will be moved inside the resort. All events are free to the public.
