The temperatures may now be cooler, but the steamy “Hot Vegas Nights” residency by FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS has been extended with four free shows at Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas, bringing the total to 11 dates: Saturday, November 8 at 8pm; Saturday, November 30 at 8pm; Saturday, December 12 at 8pm; and Saturday, December 28 at 8pm. The excitement for the November 9 show has been ramped up with the announcement that a very special guest—Grammy Award-winning guitarist extraordinaire and composer Steve Stevens (Billy Idol)—will join the band for a few songs during their set.
Anyone who’s been to the “Hot Vegas Nights” residency by FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS knows that band frontman FRANKY PEREZ specializes in raising roofs. The charismatic singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Vegas native—along with his eight accomplished musicians including ace guitarist Christian Brady; two background vocalists; and three dancers—has been bringing the house down at the hotel’s Rocks Lounge showroom since the residency launched there this past June. Watch a pre-show sizzle reel HERE.
“The band and I believe in this show and its music wholeheartedly,” says FRANKY. “Watching the audience grow night after night and become as emotionally invested in the project as we are is overwhelming and beyond words. I’m deeply grateful to Red Rock for recognizing our vision and providing us with a stage to bring it to life!”
As part of the show, FRANKY andamp; THE ALL NIGHTERS serve up creative mash-up arrangements that take the audience higher. Don’t be surprised, for example, to hear the classic guitar part of The O’Jays’ “For The Love of Money” creatively merged into Jason Derulo’s “Talk Dirty.”
“Nothing is impossible, off-limits, or out of reach when it comes to choosing songs or arrangements for the show,” explains FRANKY. “I have an incredible band that can deliver on anything I throw at them! There are only two rules: 1) It must move you, and 2) It must groove.”
The FRANKY andamp; THE ALL NIGHTERS lineup is:
Franky Perez – Vocals, Guitar, Percussion
Christian Brady – Guitar
Doc Ellis – Bass
Tim Sellars – Percussion
Mario Dawson – Drums
Ramiro Nasselo – Trumpet
Mark Trag – Saxophone
Kevin Mullinax – Trombone
Oscar Alejandro – Keys
Tina Cookson – Lead Dancer Choreographer
Veronika Shatsylo – Dancer
Sarah LeClear – Dancer
Cassie Stone Brady – Background Singer
Anne Martinez – Background Singer
FRANKY andamp; THE ALL NIGHTERS pack serious musical heat. They’re fierce and passionate, with a pumping horn section, congas, showgirls, soulful rocking songs, and Latin music reflecting PEREZ’ roots.” I have a huge catalog of original music, and I’m very lucky that people want to hear it. ‘Run Down Nasty’ is an original that gets a huge crowd response, not only musically but also in its presentation, largely thanks to Tina Cookson, our lead dancer and choreographer. She outdid herself on that one, and it’s honestly something to be seen! As far as covers go, our take on ‘Whole Lotta Love’ is something else! Take Zep, Ike and Tina, Santana, and Tower of Power, throw them in a blender, pour it over ice, and you have our version. It’s a showstopper!”
FRANKY andamp; THE ALL NIGHTERS have been filling the hotel’s showroom since the residency began on June 7, the same day they released their LIVE IN LAS VEGAS EP. It consists of rousing versions of four popular and diverse songs—“The Stroke” (Billy Squier), “Missionary Man” (Eurythmics), “Tennessee Whiskey” (Chris Stapleton), and “Whipping Post” (Allman Brothers Band)—that were recorded at Red Rock Casino Resort, along with the studio bonus cut “Hot Vegas Nights.” Listen to the EP HERE, watch the “Hot Vegas Nights” video HERE, and read more about the EP HERE.
On the residency’s opening night, the audience included Eddie Trunk of SiriusXM, John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review Journal, singer Donovan Leitch, and guitarist Stoney Curtis.

“It doesn’t get any more legit and ‘live’ than Franky Perez and The All Nighters! Every sensational, high-energy show takes the audience on an extraordinary musical journey from the downbeat to standing room encore. Franky Perez and The All Nighters are ‘Simply The Best!’”
