A Double Dose Of Andrew Freeman This Weekend: Def Leppard To Preaching The Gospel of Rock n' Roll

{My Spotlight Today}

Last In Line. Great White. The Offspring. DIO Rules, Lynch Mob. Raiding The Rock Vault. That's just part of the musical trail blazed by Andrew Freeman. Whether he's commanding the stage, laying down tracks in the studio, lending his voice to major projects, or collecting honors as a Rock Godz Hall of Famer, Freeman brings the kind of talent and versatility that few can match. Singer, songwriter, producer, voice-over pro, and all-around rock 'n' roll powerhouse, he's the real deal. 

Simply put, what a ridiculously talented dude!

I know this has been one heck of an introduction, but Andrew Freeman has earned every word of it. 

Just last week, I watched him bring the house down in Raiding The Rock Vault. 

Tonight, he's swapping arenas of classic rock history for full-throttle Def Leppard firepower as he takes the stage with Pyromania Def Leppard Tribute Band at the Tuscany Suites' Copa Room.

This Sunday, October 25, Andrew Freeman will once again step behind the microphone to preach the gospel of rock 'n' roll at 3 p.m. in the Tuscany Suites Copa Room. 

For local rock fans, it doesn't get much better than this. In a city where most performers are lucky to connect with audiences in one great show, Freeman gives fans the rare opportunity to experience multiple sides of his musical personality on local stages. One night he's channeling the arena-rock energy of Def Leppard; another he's delivering the message of Rock n' Roll, saves the soul!

That's the beauty of following Andrew Freeman in Las Vegas. You're not just seeing the same performance repeated night after night. You're watching a world-class vocalist, songwriter, producer, and performer reinvent himself from stage to stage, while bringing the same passion, power, and authenticity every time he steps into the spotlight. For fans, it's like getting an all-access pass to one of rock's hardest-working and most versatile frontmen, right here in their own backyard. 🤘🎤🔥

Andrew, You RAWK!

Where The Riffs Do The Healing: Freeman Brady Barnes & McKee Bring The Revival To The Tuscany Suites Casino Copa Room LV

 

This past Sunday afternoon, the wife and I rolled into the Copa Room inside of the Tuscany Suites Casino looking for a jolt — the kind of sonic reset only a wall of amps and a band with something to say can deliver. We needed our spirits lifted, our minds realigned, and our bodies blasted clean by the high‑octane energy of the Rock n’ Roll Church.

Out front on the podium, Andrew Freeman wasn’t just addressing the crowd — he was igniting it, blasting the room with his gravel‑edged comedy and his full‑tilt rock‑star charisma that makes you sit up straighter and think, yeah, this guy came to Testify!

Christian Brady didn’t just play guitar — he unleashed it. Every riff came off his fretboard like a precision‑guided missile, fired with that seasoned‑pro confidence only Vegas Road dogs truly master. His tone had teeth, his solos had altitude, and every time he leaned into a bend, the whole room felt the floor move!

Barry Barnes held down the low end like a man guarding the gates of groove. His bass lines weren’t just supportive — they were commanding, pulsing through the Copa Room like a heartbeat with attitude. Every thump carried that deep, unshakeable conviction that only a lifer in the rock trenches can deliver!

Shon McKee didn’t simply keep time — he took it, reshaped it, and hurled it back at the crowd with explosive authority. His drumming was a full‑body experience: sharp, thunderous, and impossible to ignore. When he locked in, the whole room snapped to attention like he’d just flipped a switch on everyone’s body & soul!

The band ripped through spirit‑lifting anthems — Come Together, Hollywood Nights, blasts of KISS, Bob Seger, Ozzy — all wrapped in the band’s trademark humor, swagger, and camaraderie. It’s the kind of show that doesn’t just entertain you; it recalibrates your soul!

The Rock n’ Roll Church hits the Copa Room every final Sunday of the month, with the next service landing on July 26th. If you’re craving a cleansed body and soul, some spirited laughter, and a full‑throttle rock fix, this is the place to be!

Andrew Freeman's Rock 'n’ Roll Church Lights Up The Composers Room: A Celebration Of Music That Renews The Soul

 After writing about professional sports every Sunday night for the last couple of months, I finally got the night off and headed to Church!

{Sunday night September 14th, 2025}

Last night, the Composers' Room was transformed into something more than just a venue. It became a sanctuary of sound, soul, and celebration when the Rock ’n’ Roll Church took the stage. It was a gathering of musical believers, where rock veterans and die-hard fans came together for an evening that felt as spiritual as it was electrifying!

The lineup alone read like a rock n' roll call of rock’s enduring legacy: Andrew Freeman (Last in Line, Lynch Mob), whose powerhouse vocals set the tone; Mitch Perry (Edgar Winter, MSG), delivering guitar work that was both fiery and melodic; Les Warner (The Cult), laying down thunderous grooves that reminded everyone why rhythm is the heartbeat of rock; and Barry Barnes (Count's 77, Stoney Curtis Band), whose presence added layers of depth and grit to the performance. Add in the soulful swagger of Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot, Rough Cutt) and the unshakable drive of drummer Shon McKee (Crashing Wayward, Stoney Curtis Band), and you had a lineup capable of shaking the rafters of any church, especially one that's built on rock ’n’ roll!

Andrew Freeman’s vocals soared on tracks that demanded raw power, while Mitch Perry’s solos carved out moments that felt both spontaneous and divine. Paul Shortino, with his trademark grit, reminded the crowd that rock is as much about soul as it is about volume. Les Warner and Shon McKee drove the rhythm section like twin engines, propelling every song forward with precision and punch. Barry Barnes, meanwhile, tied it all together, grounding the performance with a steady hand that allowed the chaos to shine. 

What a musical Church service!

 In a city where glitz, glamour, and spectacle are the norm, the Rock ’n’ Roll Church stands out because of its heart. Last night wasn’t about pyrotechnics or choreographed perfection; it was about raw connection. It was about musicians with decades of history behind them still playing like it was their first gig, and fans responding with the same passion.

Las Vegas has always been a city of reinvention, and the Rock ’n’ Roll Church embodies that spirit. It’s not just a band or a night, it’s about a movement, a reminder that music can be sacred without ever losing its edge. 

{My Take}

The Rock 'n' Roll Church wasn’t just an awesome concert last night; it was a living testament to Las Vegas’ enduring spirit of music, fellowship, and pure rock energy. With Andrew Freeman, Mitch Perry, Les Warner, Barry Barnes, Paul Shortino, and Shon McKee leading the church service, the night reminded everyone that rock and roll is more than sound; it’s a community!

FYI: The Rock' n' Roll Church residency has been extended through the end of the year!

It's time to get your spirit renewed!

{My Thoughts About The Rock N' Roll Church}

The Rock N' Roll Church brings together a band of Rock ‘N' Roll legends.

The ultimate fusion of experience, talent, and larger-than-life personas. 

It’s more than just a band—it’s a movement, a cleansing of the soul. And a celebration of music that has defined many generations in the past as well into the future!

When rock legends like these five unite, they bring decades of hit songs, unforgettable performances, and the kind of musicianship that only comes with time and experience. Each member has already made history, and together, they redefine it through the Rock N' Roll Church services (Performances).

These five ultra-talented men aren’t just musicians—they’re rock gods who’ve spent a lifetime commanding audiences. From blistering guitar solos to powerhouse vocals, every show is an electrifying spectacle that reminds fans why rock ‘n’ roll will never die. 

Nor will the Rock N' Roll Church!

The Rock N' Roll Church is a must see for every music fan!
