Could this be the end of Tahoe Luke... Crooner Stevenson escapes to the Galapagos

By Tracy Potter - 

 

Editor's Note: Read between the lines here ...could this spell the beginning of the end for 'Tahoe Luke' and epic sing-alongs to 'Cats in the Cradle' and 'Kokomo"... say it ain't so... (The kiddies will like the new guy, after all, he performs Wilco and The Shins covers).

Incline

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe this week introduced musician Ben Fuller as the newest entertainer at Lone Eagle Grille.

As part of a new schedule, Fuller will split the year with long-time favorite Luke Stevenson, a fifteen-year veteran of Lone Eagle Grille.

A talented songwriter and guitarist, Fuller begins performances on Jan. 21, entertaining guests with his original tunes and cover songs every Thursday through Saturday evening until May 27.

To celebrate Fuller’s arrival, Lone Eagle Grille will host a welcome event on Thursday, Jan. 28 with drink and menu specials and a chance for locals to meet the new talent.
 
Fuller will draw from his new CD and pull from an eclectic mix of influences such as Bob Marley, the Grateful Dead, Wilco and The Shins.

Fuller was selected following an extensive search after Stevenson announced an annual six-month hiatus in the Galapagos Islands.

(Editor's Note Part II: WHAT?! Galapagos?!)
 
Fuller currently lives in Incline Village with his wife, Tanya, his two year-old daughter, Isabel, and his dogs, Beats and Maya.
