The G2E Global Gaming convention kicked off last night with a Kenny Loggins concert at The Orleans Arena -- and our hometown violin-playing Alizma triplets were signed on as his opening act. They all posed for these special, exclusive Vegas DeLuxe photos backstage after the concert.

The Alizma triplets, Aleksandra, Izabela and Monika, told Vegas DeLuxe: “We had a fantastic performance tonight! We all had such a great time. It was wonderful to play with Kenny. He is an incredibly talented musician.

Aleksandra sheds the violin and opts for the vocals.

“He was very nice to us and said he was very pleased with our performance. We all considered the concert a great success and the perfect way to start the gaming convention.”
