The show must go on! For those of y’all that don’t know street performers on the Las Vegas strip are often cited and ticketed with the charge of obstruction of the sidewalk. A bogus charge in an attempt to get rid of the street performers and the entertainment they bring to the strip. The solution to this problem in order to perform on the strip u gotta be able to perform and keep moving, while others shy at the challenge, I wanted to give a special shout out to @alexriversmusic for finding away to keep the show rocking! Can’t stop. Won’t stop. Keep bangin! Check out Alex’s original music and give him a follow! Stay blessed and remember to inspire everyone #onlyvegas -@1mred
