The posters have become part of the post-show routine at The Showroom. There are even a few with signatures from Weird Al Yankovic. Other posters herald shows from more contemporary artists such as Brad Paisley and Melissa Etheridge. Some of the most beloved posters include those advertising shows with legends such as James Brown, George Carlin, Kenny Rogers, Glen Campbell, Loretta Lynn, Huey Lewis, Tom Jones, Lou Rawls, Vanessa Williams and Earth, Wind & Fire, to name a few. “It’s pretty amazing when you think about the breadth of artists we’ve had,” he said. Sam Brown, entertainment operations manager, estimates there are “hundreds” of posters that have been autographed by the performers. Taken as a whole, the posters provide a sort of living history of epic shows and performers who have graced The Showroom over the years. The hallways, which connect green rooms and administration offices with the stage itself, are lined with posters advertising decades’ worth of events held at the venue. As far as famous walls go, the Great Wall of China and the Green Monster have nothing on the backstage hallways at The Showroom inside Turning Stone Resort Casino.
