Haute Event: Gavin DeGraw Performs Poolside at the Hard Rock Hotel

Gavin DeGraw performs his hit song “Chariot” for loyal fans at Hard Rock Hotel.

Singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw performed an exclusive poolside show at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Following an opening act by singer BC Jean, DeGraw came out to an invitation-only crowd of loyal fans that came to catch the singer perform his hits including “Chariot,” “In Love With a Girl” and his latest hit single “Not Over You” off of his new album “Sweeter,” which will be released on Sept. 6. DeGraw got the crowd energized despite a few technical glitches with his mic, joking around and interacting with the poolside audience until they were all singing along with him.

Among the guests of the exclusive concert were former cast members of MTV’s “The Real World.” With the latest season of the show being filmed on property at the Hard Rock Hotel, many of the former cast members returned for a reunion. The group caught the poolside show before heading out to Vanity Nightclub on the hotel’s property for a night of reminiscing.

The previous night, DeGraw spent the evening at the Hard Rock’s casino following dinner at Johnny Smalls restaurant with his brother, Joey, and some friends. The singer posed for photos and chatted with fans and fellow gamers about his upcoming shows before hitting the craps tables. DeGraw will continue his tour schedule throughout the summer, playing shows with Train and Maroon 5.
