Clyde Callicott, Director of Marketing for Gold Strike Casino Resort, stated, "Finis is constantly working on new material. He is the man the Mid-South has been talking about all year long. His all new production and hilarious antics make him one of the top entertainers across the nation. Finis is guaranteed to leave audiences wanting more." Finis attributes his career in show business to his mother and father. His late father, as he put it, was a song and dance man who was affiliated with Sammy Davis Jr. His mother was the one who actually taught him how to sing and hold a mic. "My mother pushed me, she was a catalyst. And she's still doing it," said Finis. "I've always goofed around with it (impressionism)," he said. "I'm always a singer first, but anyone who is singing is mimicking. I mean they usually start off singing someone else's songs and they usually try to sound like the original singer." The 2001 shows will feature a whole new lighting and stage concept, as well as new songs and new pieces. Tickets for Finis Henderson are available for $25 at any Ticketmaster Outlet or at the Gold Strike Millennium Theatre Box Office.
