Edit request: Docksiders, Unbreakable, 80's Revue, and citation updates.

[edit]

Message: I'm the subject of this article and am requesting additions covering The Docksiders' contract extension and awards, my "Unbreakable" docuseries appearance, and the launch of "The '80s Revue," along with a couple of citation upgrades and a dead-link fix, per WP:COI. Proposed text and citations below. 1. New subsection: "The Docksiders and 1923 Prohibition Bar" (under "Career") Sucher founded The Docksiders, a yacht rock-themed band, in his hometown of Milwaukee in 2018. He relocated the act to Las Vegas in September 2022, headlining first at the Rio hotel-casino before signing a residency deal with 1923 Prohibition Bar founder Noel Bowman in summer 2024. In April 2026, the group signed a contract extension keeping the residency, located in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, running through 2027. The Docksiders is the only stand-alone yacht rock residency production on the Las Vegas Strip. The band also performs recurring engagements at the South Point Showroom. Band members include Sucher and his wife, Erin Sucher, on vocals, alongside Chris Kollman (drums), Theo Merriweather (keyboards), Clay Konnor (saxophone), Derek Ferguson (vocals), Anthony Jordan (bass), and Rich Taylor (guitar).[1] The Docksiders received a Best of Las Vegas Silver award in the Tribute Show category in 2023, and a Best of Las Vegas Silver award in the Resident Performer/Headliner category in 2024.[2][3] Note on the awards: verified directly on bestoflasvegas.com — these are Silver (second place), not first-place "Best of" wins, per the site's own badge tooltip ("2023 Silver Winner") and the silver-colored medallions (distinct from the gold medallions shown for that year's actual winners). Category is officially "Tribute Show," not "Tribute Act." Please keep the wording as "Silver award" rather than "winner." 2. New subsection: "Unbreakable" (Amazon Prime docuseries) In 2026, Sucher was the subject of the first episode of the second season of "Unbreakable," a documentary series on Amazon Prime Video, which streamed beginning in April 2026. The episode covers Sucher's career, including his account of having executive produced an Oscar-winning film before being sued by his business partners.[4] This episode has now aired (streamed April 2026), so there's no WP:CRYSTAL concern about citing unreleased content. 3. New subsection: "The 80's Revue" In 2026, Sucher and his company, Sucher Entertainment, launched a second production, "The '80s Revue," a retro-pop and New Wave-themed show also based at 1923 Prohibition Bar, opening August 6, 2026. The show features vocalists Brandon Albright and Paige Strafella alongside Docksiders musicians Theo Merriweather (keyboards), David Davis (guitar), and Chris Kollman (drums).[5] 4. Citation upgrade: 2009 Grammy nominations (Love & Life) The Best R&B Album and Best Male Vocal R&B Performance nominations at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards are currently sourced only to onmilwaukee.com. Requesting these official GRAMMY.com citations be added alongside the existing ref: [6][7] 5. Citation upgrade + factual correction: Best Traditional R&B Performance ("Sometimes I Cry") The article currently states this nomination was "at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards in 2010" — this is a date error. The 54th Annual Grammy Awards were held in 2012, per GRAMMY.com. Requesting the year be corrected to 2012, with this citation added: [8] 6. Dead link flag: existing citation #3 ("Mequon native runs new record label") The jsonline.com citation currently used as reference 3 appears to be broken. Requesting it be tagged {{dead link}} rather than removed, since two other sources (onmilwaukee.com, broadjam.com) still support the same sentence. If an editor can locate an archived version via the Wayback Machine, please substitute that URL instead.
