Virginia To Vegas Gets Framed At iHeart Ball

By FYI Staff

Derik John Baker returned to hometown Toronto last week with his band Virginia To Vegas, performing at the iHeartRadio Jingle (Bell) Ball at the ACC on Dec. 9 where he was bushwhacked by the Wax Records team armed with a trio of big shiny awards.


A platinum award for “We Are Stars,” f. Alyssa Reid, and two gold certifications marking the success of “Lights Out” and “Selfish" were presented. VTV’s latest, “Emotions,” is off to a solid start too, Wax Records’ Andrea Guernsey assures.

In the photo is the Wax Records team, the DMD guys and iHeartRadio topper Rob Farina.  And, of course, Virginia to Vegas’s Derik Baker.

Gracie Abrams Goes From Juliet to Romeo During ‘SNL’ Halloween Performances

The singer performed "Hit the Wall" and "Here You Come, There You Go" in costumes lifted from Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film.

Gracie Abrams turned her Saturday Night Live return into a two-part costume change, dressing as both leads from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet across her performances on the show’s Halloween episode Saturday (Oct. 31).

For her first song, “Hit the Wall” from her third album Daughter from Hell, Abrams wore Claire Danes’ angel costume from the 1996 film and opened the performance from behind an aquarium, a nod to the movie’s fish-tank meeting scene. She returned later in the episode for “Here You Come, There You Go,” a track from the album’s deluxe edition, in Leonardo DiCaprio’s Hawaiian shirt paired with the metal sleeves from his knight’s armor.
