Versatile performer Kelly Clinton will preview her one woman show – "Out of My Mind: An Evening with Kelly Clinton" – at the Family Music Centers, 8125 W. Sahara, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 with proceeds benefiting the Southern Nevada chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training campaign.


Clinton, who performs weekends at the Stirling Club and is the private venue's entertainment director, will be introducing a cast of characters that have played a role in her life through the years. "You might call them my alter egos who have supported my career," laughs Clinton. "They like the stage as much as I do and I love sharing it with them."


The eclectic evening will also include her vocal stylings with her band and plus surprise guests.


Members of the local Team in Training, which includes Clinton's brother, John Clinton (director of slots marketing at Bellagio), are preparing to run the Chicago Marathon Oct. 7. Their stepfather, Alfred Issa, recently completed his battle with lymphoma and, after six months of chemotherapy, has received a clean bill of health! "I'm very proud of how he has fought his way through this, and he inspires me everyday to keep working to be prepared for the marathon," said John.


All of the Team in Training is raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. John is completing this event in honor of Alfred and all individuals who are battling blood cancers. "These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line -- a cure," he added.
