    According to the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA), the voice of the bowling industry, the concert will cap the week-long International Bowl Expo, the bowling industry's premier educational and trade show event.

    Most known as a lead vocalist and instrumentalist with iconic band, The Eagles, Henley will entertain concertgoers with Eagles hits such as, "Witchy Woman," "Desperado," "Best of My Love," and "Hotel California," and solo favorites like, "All She Wants To Do Is Dance," The End of Innocence," "Dirty Laundry," and "The Boys of Summer."

    The Eagles, members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have sold over 120 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy Awards, five #1 singles, 17 Top-40 singles and six #1 albums.

    In his solo career, Henley has sold over 10 million albums worldwide and has had eight Top-40 singles, won two Grammys and five MTV Video Awards. Combined with The Eagles and his solo career, Henley is credited with 25 Top-40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and 11 albums, seven with The Eagles and four as a solo artist.

    In a separate event prior to the concert, Bowl Expo attendees who purchase a Club Xpo ticket will gather at 6:30 p.m. in the Reno Ballroom to enjoy great food, drinks and another opportunity to network with their peers.

    Attendees with a Club Xpo tickets will be able to exchange them for prime seating at the Reno Events Center for the Henley concert. A ticket exchange will be held at Bowl Expo earlier in the week to determine actual assigned seats.
