FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS
GEARING UP FOR THEIR 15TH SHOW
AS PART OF THEIR “HOT VEGAS NIGHTS” RESIDENCY
AT RED ROCK CASINO RESORT IN LAS VEGAS
ON FRIDAY, APRIL 25

THE SHOW TO INCLUDE SONGS FROM
THE BAND’S DEBUT ALBUM ‘DÁMELO’
ON TLG / VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP OUT THIS FALL

When FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS step onto the stage on Friday, April 25 at Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas, it will mark the 15th show of their packed-out “Hot Vegas Nights” residency which has been extended a few times since its June 2024 launch. This free concert at the Rocks showroom begins at 9pm (doors are at 8pm). There’s extra excitement around this gig as the set list will include songs from the band’s upcoming album, DÁMELO, on TLG / Virgin Music Group out this fall (more details TBA).

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited and proud to have, at this stage in my career, another opportunity to work with a team like the people at The Label Group and Virgin Music Group,” says FRANKY PEREZ, the charismatic singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Vegas native. “I’ve released albums independently before, but it wasn’t an easy road. When it’s working right, the infrastructure of a major label is unmatched.”

He adds: “When I recorded the songs for this new album, I knew in my heart I had something special. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t settle for anything less than a major release—and that anyone I brought on board had to understand the vision and, like me, be willing to do whatever it takes to bring this music to the people.”

I tapped into all of my influences for this album,” continues FRANKY, “but leaned heavily on my Latin roots. Still, I made it a point to keep the music accessible to everyone. Sometimes I dive straight into a Spanish chorus, but I intentionally set it up with English verses in a way that the message will resonate with everyone. With this album, I wanted to do what Santana did in the ’60s and ’70s—help the world experience another language and culture while feeling the joy of a deep Afro-Cuban rhythm. I often dream of people singing ‘Dámelo,’ the title track, back to me—and I truly believe that day will come.”

Anyone who’s seen the “Hot Vegas Nights” residency knows that FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS specialize in bringing the house down. FRANKY and his band—featuring eight accomplished musicians including ace guitarist Christian Brady; two background vocalists; and three dancers—are fierce and passionate, with a pumping horn section, congas, showgirl flair, soulful rocking songs, and Latin music reflecting FRANKY’s roots.

“My relationship with Station Casinos goes way back—well before this residency,” says FRANKY. “When I step into Rocks, it feels like an extension of my home. I think that feeling resonates with everyone who comes out to see the show. There’s a level of comfort and confidence on stage that only happens when everyone feels safe and is working with good intentions. Me, the band, and the Rocks crew are firing on all cylinders! Musically, we’ve carved out a unique identity in town, but that only comes from woodshedding in rehearsals and the countless hours we’ve spent on stage at Red Rock over the past year.”

Describing the show, FRANKY says: “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!”

“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 AND THE ALL NIGHTERS serve up creative mash-up arrangements that take the audience higher. Don’t be surprised, for example, to hear Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana” merged into Hozier’s “Take Me To Church.”

“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.”
