~ Vegas Stars: Rocket Fizz Las Vegas

Rock N Roll 2 Soul

It was a night of rock n roll at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The real Cornell Gunter’s Coasters filled the room with their fabulous songs. Everyone was on their feet, clapping and singing along with Lionel “Z” Pope, Charlie Duncan and Ron Stevenson.

The Coasters looked elegant in their purple striped suits and they put their heart and soul into each song. As I looked around the room, I saw that mostly everyone in the room was singing along with them. It brought back so many memories of the 1960’s, especially when they sang Charley Brown.

Opening the show was Mary Williams and The Sensations, Gwyn Forstyhe and Charlotte Spencer singing songs in tribute to The Supremes, The Shirelles and The Vandellas. Mary’s passion was there as she belted out the songs.

A Rock N Roll show would not be complete without an Elvis tribute and singing tribute to his songs was Jonathan Von Brana who did a pretty good impersonation. At 6’ 8” tall Jonathan takes command of the stage and powerfully belts out the songs. It is always exciting to see Elvis in the house.

We have to give credit to the Producer, Tom Biscardi for this great show. After the show all the performers met everyone outside the showroom for pictures and autographs and they were all so gracious.
