Tonight, February 8, leading multi-channel retailer HSN will kick off an innovative multi-concert, marketing deal with The Venetian Las Vegas when it hosts a special HSN Live concert event featuring Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter and multi-platinum selling artist Michael Bolton.

Michael will debut his newest CD, Ain't No Mountain High Enough - A Tribute to Hitsville U.S.A., during a live performance on HSN with special appearances from such Motown greats as Grammy Award-winner Smokey Robinson, Valerie Simpson (Ashford & Simpson), Martha Reeves and many others. The CD featuring classic Motown hits including duets performed by Kelly Rowland and Melanie Fiona, along with exclusive room packages for The Venetian and The Palazzo and an exclusive six-track bonus CD, Michael's Greatest Hits Live, can all be pre-ordered now at HSN.com.

This exciting new partnership with The Venetian Las Vegas includes HSN Live concerts scheduled quarterly with various artists from The Venetian Theater and exclusive room packages at The Venetian and The Palazzo for HSN customers via TV, HSN.com and HSN Mobile. The HSN Live concert series has featured successful launches from some of the music industry's biggest artists including Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Tony Bennett and most recently, Josh Groban, who introduced his new CD All That Echoes on HSN on January 18.

"HSN has stepped up and provided exactly what artists and labels are looking for," said Michael Bolton. "HSN Live is a great platform with a built-in music-loving audience. HSN has delivered for great artists before me like Lionel Richie, Tony Bennett, Rod Stewart, and more and I can't wait to put on a fantastic show at The Venetian with a tremendous group of amazingly talented artists and friends."

"HSN Live continues to provide its customers with unparalleled live music experiences from some of the music industry's biggest stars and we are excited to welcome Michael Bolton to the HSN Live stage," said Andy Sheldon, EVP of Television, Live Events and Creative for HSN.
