Female country music trio CHAPEL HART are taking the country by storm with a series of coast-to-coast performances before they head back to the UK this summer.

Last week, CHAPEL HART—sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and cousin Trea Swindle—performed their first-ever headlining show in Las Vegas at the Blake Shelton-inspired OLE RED live music venue. The previous night (May 21), the trio were special guests at an invitation-only performance for the opening night party at Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay (Las Vegas) for this year’s global Licensing Expo—the world’s largest licensing trade event drawing thousands of attendees dedicated to brand licensing and collaborations.

On the heels of the Las Vegas performances, the 2023 Opry NextStage artist/group have announced a series of Christmas In July exclusive events. The three shows—July 10 (North Star Theatre in Mandeville, LA), July 24 (Grand Ole Opry Nashville, TN) and July 28 (Church of Sound in Muscle Shoals, AL)—will serve as fundraisers for CHAPEL HART to complete the upcoming album. The shows will allow fans to get an early listen to the songs from the group’s upcoming Christmas album. The events are family- friendly and open to ALL AGES, from strollers to walkers; this exclusive event is open to everyone. This is a special opportunity for CHAPEL HART super fans and newcomers to get the inside scoop on all things CHAPEL HART and all things Christmas. More information on Christmas In July can be found HERE.

The group says, “Christmas in July is our campaign to fund our upcoming Christmas album and tour! It’s an intimate listening experience with your favorite trio, Chapel Hart. You will be able to get an early listen to the songs from our Christmas album.”

Next up for CHAPEL HART, a series of Nashville appearances. The group will first perform at the Nashville Navy Party 2024 on June 4 at The Vinyl Lounge which benefits the Troy Gentry Foundation. Then on June 5 they’ll make an appearance at 3rd & Lindsley for the sold-out T.G. Sheppard and Kelly Lang-hosted “Country For A Cause” (a non-profit event for Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital). Thursday, June 6 will mark their official CMA Fest performance on the VIP Platform Stage inside Nissan Stadium. On Saturday, June 8, CHAPEL HART is also scheduled for two additional CMA fest events: they’ll participate in the “50 Years of Opry” event on the CMA Close Up Stage with host Mark Wills and legendary entertainer T.G. Sheppard and country music legend Jeannie Seely before a CMA Fest CHAPEL HART meet-and-greet with the group that afternoon. They’ll follow that with a stop at Bonnaroo Outeroo’s Galactic Giddy Up Stage on June 13.

CHAPEL HART will then head back to the UK (where they wowed audiences this past March with their performance at the 2024 Country 2 Country [C2C] Festival at London’s O2 Arena) for two C2C-promoted shows in London (St Pancras) and Glasgow (St Luke), along with an appearance at the Long Road Festival in Leicestershire.

FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS are turning up the heat today (May 29) by releasing their LIVE IN LAS VEGAS EP ahead of the June 7 launch of their “Hot Vegas Nights” artist residency at Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas (see all the dates below). Listen to the EP HERE.

LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 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 track HERE and watch the video HERE.

“This EP is a great representation of what we do live,” says FRANKY PEREZ, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Vegas native. “The rawness, risk-taking, and passion come through loud and clear! If you’re looking for a polished auto-tuned studio recording…this isn’t it! If you’re looking for a man and his band firing on all cylinders…well, then you’ve come to the right place!”

“When we recorded the show that night, it was more for ‘a game reel’ that we could review to see how the show went and figure out what we could do better,” FRANKY adds. “We never intended to release it, but upon first listen, we realized the magic we felt that night had made it to the recording.”

FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS will perform one show every month between June and October at Red Rock Casino Resort. The shows, all taking place on Friday nights, are as follows: 6/7, 7/12, 8/9, 9/13, 10/18

FRANKY PEREZ is a dynamic and engaging artist that can take any genre and make it his own. He was born to entertain, whether he’s performing one of his critically acclaimed originals, a moving ballad from the American songbook, or the latest in-demand pop hit. He delivers it all with an authenticity that will captivate any audience. Life should be celebrated. And any great celebration demands a hot spot and a stage dripping with unparalleled entertainment.

More Quotes from FRANKY PEREZ
About The “Hot Vegas Nights” Residency

What inspired you to form Franky & The All Nighters and call your show “Hot Vegas Nights”?

FRANKY: I was born and raised in Vegas and cut my teeth on the stages of this town. I learned how to entertain audiences from the greats that have graced those same stages before me. I’ve performed all over the world, but I am yet to find anything that compares to the perfect hot Vegas night, figuratively or literally. To answer your question, I don’t know about you but when I find something good…I want it to last ALL NIGHT!

Which songs will you perform? From which eras?

Along with some of my fan favorite originals I will be performing music from the ‘50s all the way to the current day. When I choose songs for sets, I make sure that I believe wholeheartedly in each one. It makes for an honest set and a memorable evening. I will say that I plan on keeping the energy at a high-level and the band sweating all night long.

‘THE MORRISON PROJECT’

BILLY MORRISON’s smash hit “Crack Cocaine”—featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens and co-written by all three artists—has vaulted this week into the nation’s top 10 rock Mediabase chart at #8. And there’s more firepower where that seismic collaboration comes from.

The British singer, songwriter, and guitarist has today (May 22) shared the cinematic video for “It’s Come To This.” It’s the latest single from his third solo album (and first since 2015) THE MORRISON PROJECT via TLG | ZOID | Virgin Music Group.

In the video, directed by Ivo Raza (who did the same honors for the “Crack Cocaine”), BILLY is joined by acclaimed actor Joe Manganiello whose character is a mysterious “collector of souls,” says BILLY. Watch the video, shot in the desert outside of the Lancaster/Palmdale area, HERE. It was premiered yesterday (May 21) by Revolver.

In the Q&A below, BILLY talks about the song’s origins (during the strange early days of the pandemic), the role of Joe Manganiello (“Joe just makes an imposing and scary figure on film”), and the use of a classic car (“the Shelby Mustang was loaned to me by Galpin Auto Sports”).

The rhythmically charging “It’s Come To This” was written by BILLY and Erik Eldenius and marks the third single/video from the album following “Drowning” and “Crack Cocaine.”

Primarily known as Billy Idol’s rhythm guitar player for the past 15 years alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens, BILLY has assembled an electrifying 12 songs on THE MORRISON PROJECT with guest performances by Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, DMC, Al Jourgensen, Steve Vai, Steve Stevens, Linda Perry, Tommy Clufetos, John5, and more.

The album was produced by BILLY, mixed by Barry Pointer, and mastered by Dave Donnelly. All the songs on the album—recorded in Los Angeles at various studios—were written by BILLY in collaboration with his guests. Read the album announcement HERE.

BILLY MORRISON Q&A:
“It’s Come To This” Single/Video

What was your inspiration for writing the song? Did it have something to do with your feelings about the world around you when the Covid pandemic hit?

The pandemic was way longer than anyone expected. The political climate was volatile. There were huge financial issues being reported every day. I just found myself thinking “has it really come to this?” And fantasizing about getting in my car, leaving it all behind and heading out into the deep desert in search of a more fulfilling and perhaps spiritual answer for myself.

Can you tell us why the video was shot in the desert?

Well, most of the reason we shot in the desert is outlined above! But also, I am a huge fan of road movies like Vanishing Point, and as we honed the concept in, and Galpin Ford gave me the Shelby Mustang to use, it seemed natural that we could achieve all the elements we were talking about if we took the whole thing out into the middle of nowhere!

Actor Joe Manganiello has a role in the video. Can you fill us in on why you asked him to appear and what you needed him to portray?

So in the spirit of how this whole album came together, I wanted Joe to have an input into what was behind his character. I knew I wanted to interact with some weird, unknown origin desert dweller. He came up with the idea that he is a collector of souls. And that I was making a deal with him to deliver one particular soul in exchange for the return of mine! So that’s the box that I dig up before I had to his strange desert shack! Joe just makes an imposing and scary figure on film, so he was the first and only choice to make that cameo!

You’re seen in a classic car driving through the desert. Tell us about that experience and what you wanted to convey in those scenes.

The Shelby Mustang was loaned to me by Galpin Auto Sports, with whom I have a wonderful relationship. Thanks to Dave Shuten and Beau Boeckmann, they sent the car out to our location, and I got to drive it all day, wheel spin it around the dirt, and generally get to live out my automobile fantasy!! I guess what I am conveying is the long drive into nowhere to escape the realities of that current global situation at the time.

RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT Shines As One Of Las Vegas’ Longest-Running Shows, With More “Vault” Imprint Shows In The Works

DATE: MAY 21, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/SRO PR

RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT
CONTINUES TO SHINE AS ONE OF
LAS VEGAS’ LONGEST-RUNNING SHOWS
NOW IN ITS 11^TH YEAR AT THE HARD ROCK CAFE ON THE STRIP

SHOW IS ON TRACK TO EARN ITS 5,000^TH FIVE-STAR REVIEW ON TRIPADVISOR WHERE IT WAS RECENTLY RECOGNIZED AS A “2023 TRAVELERS’ CHOICE” AWARD WINNER FOR LAS VEGAS CONCERTS & PERFORMANCES

RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT—which tells the story of classic rock from the 1960s to the 1980s presented by rock stars who performed them—continues to shine as one of Las Vegas’ longest-running shows. Now in its 11^th year in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Cafe on The Strip, RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT is on track to soon earn its 5,000^th five-star review on Tripadvisor—a distinction that no other show in Las Vegas would be able to boast.

“I change the songs every three months and often members of the cast weekly, which keeps it fresh,” says Sir Harry Cowell, the show’s creator and producer. It’s a 90-minute classic rock concert experience with stunning production that transports the audience from the 1960s through the 80s with classic rock anthems.

Plans are also now in motion, Cowell reveals, for the Vegas launches of Raiding the Emo Vault (presenting the music and history of this classic genre in the successful Vault imprint) and Raiding the Latin Vault as well as the re-launch of Raiding the Country Vault, which previously ran in Branson, Missouri.

We hit it off right away, and we are very excited to hit the road with them! The whole tour package is extremely talented and really cares about their live show so these cities are in for a hell of a night!”
