Two Music Legends One Stage: Treasure Island Hotel Casino Breeze Bar Presents The Show Of The Season!

 March 27th, 2026

TI Breeze Bar

Friday night inside the Treasure Island Hotel Casino, Breeze Bar felt like a private showcase from two world‑class rock veterans who know how to own a room. Paul Shortino and Mitch Perry didn’t just perform — they transformed the Breeze Bar into a warm, intimate, full‑throttle musical experience that reminded everyone why live music matters so much to the Las Vegas music scene!

The Breeze Bar itself set the tone: soft amber lighting, a close‑up stage, and that unmistakable hum of locals and tourists mixing together, drinks in hand, ready for something real. It’s the kind of venue where you can feel the music in your chest and see every expression on the performers’ faces — a perfect match for a duo of two rock star legends!

The duo set the tone immediately with Eric Clapton’s “Change the World,” a warm, soulful opener that showcased Paul Shortino’s signature vocal grit, rich, powerful, and unmistakably Shortino! Mitch Perry’s guitar work and his skill on the keys were fluid and expressive, the kind of playing that grabs your attention and keeps it!

From there, they drifted into Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home,” a song that practically begs for emotional depth. Paul Shortino delivered it with a lived‑in authenticity, while Mitch Perry’s delicate touch on guitar and keys wrapped the room in a soft haze.

Then came the tunes that made the night special: Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind,” delivered with smoky, late‑night swagger, and a heartfelt, pin‑drop‑quiet take on the Eagles’ “Desperado.” You could feel the entire bar leaning in.

But the magic of this show is the range. These two didn’t stick to one lane — they drove through the entire American songbook with confidence and fire. Marvin Gaye. Quiet Riot. The Allman Brothers. Foreigner. Edgar Winter. Tom Petty. The Doors. Chicago. The Doobie Brothers. Jackson Browne. David Clayton‑Thomas, and more. Every song felt like a tribute to the original artists. Reshaped with the duo's own swagger and chemistry, which makes the Shortino-Perry duo so special.

Paul Shortino, out front with that unmistakable voice — gritty, warm, powerful — proved once again why he’s one of rock’s most respected vocalists. His guitar work added texture, but his presence. That’s what filled the room.

Mitch Perry was a one‑man orchestra, switching between guitar, keys, and backup vocals with effortless mastery. His playing was emotional and razor‑sharp — the kind of musicianship that makes other musicians stop mid‑conversation just to watch.

The night closed with a moment of pure joy: Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” A perfect, heartfelt sendoff that left the Breeze Bar glowing and wanting for more!

Yellow Brick Road’s Classic Rock Experience Lights Up Santa Fe Station Chrome Showroom Saturday Night

Last night, Las Vegas’ legendary tribute band Yellow Brick Road lit up the Chrome Showroom inside the Santa Fe Station Hotel & Casino with a performance that fused nostalgia, technical brilliance, and raw rock energy. 

With Kelly Christian commanding the stage on lead vocals, Mark Cole shredding on lead guitar, David St John anchoring the groove on bass, and Aaron Olson driving the rhythm on drums, the band delivered a powerhouse two-hour set that reaffirmed their status as one of the top premier classic rock bands in Las Vegas!

Originally founded in 1997 as an Elton John tribute project, Yellow Brick Road has evolved into a full-spectrum classic rock experience, covering icons like Led Zeppelin, Rush, Van Halen, and Boston. Definitely, one of the best bands in LV, and a big fan favorite for many years!

{YBR The Band}

Kelly Christian’s vocals were nothing short of electrifying. With a range that soared through the high-octane anthems and a tone that could melt into the ballads, Kelly brought emotional depth and theatrical flair to every song. His stage presence, equal parts commanding and charismatic, kept the crowd locked in from the first note to the final song of the night!

Mark Cole’s guitar work was a masterclass in tone and technique. Whether channeling bluesy swagger or melodic fire, Cole’s solos were precise, passionate, and perfectly timed. His interplay with the band added dynamic tension and release, elevating the band’s sound to stadium-level intensity.

On bass, David St John provided the sonic glue that held the set together. His lines were tight, tasteful, and rhythmically locked with Olson’s drumming. St John’s subtle stage charisma and musical intuition gave the band a solid foundation while allowing the frontline to shine.

Aaron Olson’s drumming was relentless and refined. From thunderous fills to intricate hi-hat work, he drove the band with precision and power. His ability to shift seamlessly between genres and tempos showcased the versatility that makes Yellow Brick Road more than just a cover band—it’s a tribute to the art of performance itself.

{The Venue}

The Chrome Showroom, known for its intimate yet high-tech setup, is the perfect venue for Yellow Brick Road’s immersive sound. The lighting, acoustics, and crowd energy created a concert atmosphere that felt both personal and epic. Fans sang along, filled the dance floor, and had a classic rock experience that only Yellow Brick Road could provide!

{My Take}

With Kelly Christian’s soaring vocals, Mark Cole’s blistering solos, David St John’s rock-solid bass, and Aaron Olson’s thunderous percussion, the band didn’t just play the hits; they embodied them. For those lucky enough to be inside the Chrome Showroom last night, it wasn’t just a tribute; it was a resurrection of Classic Rock Music!
