HOT AUGUST NIGHT

Starring Dean Colley

Lead singer Dean Colley has been performing in rock bands since 1982, after leaving the University of Southern California, where he was studying biology. 15 years of playing in bars and regional fairs followed playing rock and roll covers with other local musicians. All the while, people began taking notice of Dean’s ever more prominent resemblance to Neil Diamond. Soon, audience members were asking Dean if he did any Neil Diamond songs.

A short time later, a local businessman asked Dean if he’d like to put together a tribute to Neil Diamond. Dean accepted the challenge and began studying the songs of the legendary singer/songwriter. After a trial version of Dean as Neil Diamond in a small club, he was offered a chance to perform for a community concert put on by a local Kiwanis club. From there, the show became known as “Hot August Night”, after the title of Neil Diamond’s live album recorded at the Greek Theater.

Many versions of the band followed. Players came and went. However, a chance audition for a tribute show for military personnel in Japan introduced him to a whole new level of players. These musicians were seasoned professionals and put a whole new spin on Dean’s presentation. After arriving home after the tour of Japan, Dean convinced the band to play in Hot August Night. This led to working with better musicians and an outstanding presentation.

Today, Hot August Night has played casinos, corporate parties, fairs, and clubs all over the United States, Japan, Canada, and England.

Hot August Night has played major showrooms in Reno NV, Laughlin, NV, Las Vegas NV, Carson City NV, Minden NV, Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma, AZ, Lincoln OR, Seattle WA, Atsugi Japan, Iwakuni Japan, Oxford England, Bettendorf IA, Edmonton Canada, Stone Mountain GA, Toulumne, San Diego, Hollywood, Anaheim, Hollywood, Beverly Hills CA, and Palm Springs CA.

Education: University of Southern California, Recording Arts:
Vocal work on hundreds of studio projects

Stage: 20 years of live stage performance
Residence: Los Angeles, California

It's HOT! But, you already knew that!

Wednesday September 4, 2013, 11:02 AM LASD - HQ Newsroom (SHB), Los Angeles County Sheriff

Advisory: Wow. It's Hot. Check on Family. Don't Leave Kids & Pets in cars. Also, Here's Cool Tips & LA County Cooling Centers   It's Hot. Don't Leave Kids & Pets in cars. Also, Cool Tips & Cooling Centers     Triple-digit temperatures are again getting the attention of humans and pets alike in the greater Los Angeles area. For Cooling Centers, call the LA County Information line at 2-1-1 from any landline or cell phone within the county or visit: https://publichealth.lacounty.gov/docs/CoolingCenters-7-10-13.pdf If you are planning to visit one of these Cooling Centers, it is advisable that you call in advance to make sure there is still seating available. If a Cooling Center is not operational, check the attached list for another Cooling Center nearest you or call “211”. Check with your local library when looking for a place to cool down. They have great resources and plenty to read while you escape the heat. For further information on heat waves, go to http://lacoa.org/PDF/ESP_FocusSheet_Heatwave_0710.pdf Map of LA County Cooling Centers: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/viewer?mid=z9pztDeZdtqU.kxng5WTVTDIQ * “Offer help to your family, friends, and neighbors with limited access to air conditioning and transportation, such as seniors or those who are ill. Check on them frequently or take them to a location with air conditioning." Schools, day camps, and non-school related sports organizations or athletes should take extra precautions during extreme heat. Practices and other outdoor activities should be scheduled for very early or very late in the day in order to limit the amount of time spent in the sun and heat. Heat may worsen the affects of poor air quality in areas of heavy smog. * Additional tips for those who must work or exercise outdoors: Ensure that cool drinking water is available. Drink water or electrolyte-replacing sports drinks often; do not wait until you are thirsty. Avoid drinking sweetened drinks, caffeine, and alcohol. Avoid drinking extremely cold water as this is more likely to cause cramps. Allow athletes or outdoor workers to take frequent rests. Pay attention to signs of dehydration which include dizziness, fatigue, faintness, headaches, muscle cramps, and increased thirst. Individuals with these symptoms should be moved to a cooler, shaded place, and given water or sport drinks. More severe signs of heat-related illness may include diminished judgment, disorientation, pale and clammy skin, a rapid and weak pulse, and/or fast and shallow breathing. Coaches, teachers, and employers should seek immediate medical attention for those exhibiting signs of heat-related illness. Avoid unnecessary exertion, such as vigorous exercise during peak sun hours, if you are outside or in a non-air conditioned building. ** Older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions: During peak heat hours stay in an air-conditioned area. If you do not have access to air conditioning in your home, visit public facilities such as cooling centers, shopping malls, parks, and libraries to stay cool. Do not rely only on open windows or a fan as a primary way to stay cool. Use the air conditioner. If you’re on reduced income, find out more about the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, by calling (866) 675-6623 or contacting your utility provider. Older adults and those on certain medications may not exhibit signs of dehydration until several hours after dehydration sets in. Stay hydrated by frequently drinking cool water. If you’re on a special diet that limits liquids, check with your doctor for information on the amount of water to consume. Stay out of the sun if you do not need to be in it. When in the sun, wear a hat, preferably with a wide brim, and loose-fitting, light-colored clothing with long sleeves and pants to protect yourself from sun damage. And remember sun screen and sun glasses. * Infants and Children: It is illegal to leave an infant or child unattended in a vehicle (California Vehicle Code Section 15620). Infants and young children can get dehydrated very quickly. Make sure they are given plenty of cool water to drink. Keep children indoors or shaded as much as possible. Dress children in loose, lightweight, and light colored clothing. ** Pets: Never leave a pet unattended in a vehicle, even with the windows ‘cracked’ or open. Outdoor animals should be given plenty of shade and clean drinking water. Do not leave pets outside in the sun. Pets should not be left in a garage as garages can get very hot due to lack of ventilation and insulation.   More tips: http://lacoa.org/PDF/ESP_FocusSheet_Heatwave_0710.pdfhttp://lacoa.org/PDF/ESP_FocusSheet_Heatwave_0710.pdf Captain Mike Parker Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau - Newsroom Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department 323-267-4800 Email: SHBNewsroom@lasd.org Website: http://www.lasd.org LASD HQ Text and Emails: http://www.Nixle.com http://nixle.com/lasd----hq-newsroom-shb-los-angeles-county-sheriff/ Twitter: @LASDHQ http://twitter.com/#!/LASDHQ Twitter: @LASDtalk https://twitter.com/LASDTalk Twitter: @LASDvideos https://twitter.com/LASDvideos Twitter: @LASDesp https://twitter.com/LASDesp Facebook LASD HQ: http://www.facebook.com/LosAngelesCountySheriffsDepartment LASD Photos: http://pinterest.com/lacountysheriff/ LASD YouTube Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/LACountySheriff/videos?view=0 Partner to prevent or report crime by contacting your local Sheriff’s station.
