Join us as we wrap up a great week and “Party at the Taj” with lots of food, drink and , back by popular demand, entertainment by The Jill Gioia Band. Jill Gioia (Joy-ah) is today's monarch of female vocalists setting an unprecedented standard of excellence. Having soared past 25,000 talented hopefuls to reach the top ten tier of "Rockstar Supernova" lead singers featured in the hit CBS international reality media series, her high-styles and hard hitting vocals have been gleaning her thousands of fans the world over.

A previously established and accomplished talent with several artists CD's to her credit, Jill has performed, toured and recorded with such illustrious artists as Third Eye Blind, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Kelly Clarkson and Enya. With international renown to her credit, she now takes on new wings fronting a new all-star band comprising some of the globe's fi nest musicians.

Featuring musical artists from the Billy Joel/Twyla Tharp "Tony Award" winning Broadway and touring show "Movin' Out", other members of the new Jill Gioia Band bring their own renowned credits to the mix, having experience on bills with artists as diverse as Billy Joel to Richie Blackmore and Alice Cooper to Celine Dion. The end cut is a newly emerging power-house band, one that blends with cover classics to Jill's own engaging original rock tunes. The band's stage ascendant musical talents only lend height to Gioia's already breathtaking vocals along with her brother Eddie's. The band also includes Carmine Giglio – keyboardist and Dennis DelGaudio – lead guitarist/vocalist. Last year, she provided some “ambiance” at the welcome reception and this year you’ll really get to see what great entertainment she and her band can provide. Don’t Miss It!
