Brian Evans, a lounge singer, is taking legal action against Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom and its co-owner Fred Schaake Jr. The lawsuit, filed in federal court, accuses the venue of defamation and long-term retaliation. Evans claims these actions have severely damaged both his reputation and his music career.
The dispute traces back to 1991, when Evans was assaulted on stage while performing as an opening act for Ben E. King. The attack left him with a concussion and lasting PTSD. After the incident, he sued the venue but refused to sign a contract they later offered.
The federal lawsuit marks another chapter in Evans’ long-running conflict with the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. If successful, the case could force the venue to address claims of defamation and its impact on his career. The outcome may also influence how similar disputes between performers and venues are handled in the future.
