(Nashville, Tenn. – May 29, 2013) Country artist Katie Armiger donated her infamous black dress to the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas on Wednesday, May 22nd. Armiger wore the black dress on the historic Opry stage in August 2012, the night her “Better In A Black Dress” music video went #1 on GAC’s Top 20 Countdown.
“I am a longtime fan of Hard Rock Cafe,” said Armiger. “Ever since I was little girl I can remember visiting the restaurants around the country and admiring the eclectic array of memorabilia that graced the walls. Being asked to include one of my dresses to display alongside all of the superstars of music for thousands of people to see at such a well-respected franchise is such a great honor.”
In addition to the induction, Armiger performed at Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas (3771 Las Vegas Blvd. S.) as part of an event, hosted by 102.7 The Coyote. All proceeds from the event went to the Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon.
