WELCOMING HOUSE OF BLUES TO THE GRAND STRAND AND THE PALMETTO STATE AND DECLARING MAY 4, 1997 AS "HOUSE OF BLUES DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the Grand Strand is, with great excitement and anticipation, preparing for the opening of House of Blues-Myrtle Beach; and

Whereas, House of Blues is based in Hollywood, California, and House of Blues-Myrtle Beach, a premier entertainment complex and dining establishment, is set to open its doors to the public in May, 1997; the 57,000-square foot North Myrtle Beach site will feature a 300-seat restaurant and 200-seat outdoor patio, both of which will have stages with excellent sight lines for viewing live performances; set apart from the restaurant will be a magnificent concert hall which will accommodate up to 2,000 people; and

Whereas, as a live concert venue with music seven nights a week, House of Blues-Myrtle Beach will be "home" to nationally recognized musical artists and groups and will also be a springboard for up-and-coming local talent; and

Whereas, House of Blues-Myrtle Beach will be wonderful for the Grand Strand and the State of South Carolina and we are very happy that California based House of Blues will be a part of the Palmetto State's every-growing, first class entertainment industry. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, welcomes House of Blues to the Grand Strand and the Palmetto State and declares May 4, 1997 as "House of Blues Day" in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to House of Blues, Corporate Publicity Office, 8439 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 306, West Hollywood, California, 90069.
