| - SOLID!
Honestly, I never heard of the guy except for seeing him on billboards all over town. So finally I got to see him along with my wife and her two friends at 20 bucks a pop because that's the locals price which is not a bad deal at all.
Since I was not familiar him, I found out firsthand what he was all about. Anytime you have your own singing show in Vegas, you better have a really good band to back you up and Frankie's band knocked it out of the park! Each individual band member ranging from the saxophone, cello, violin, trombone, and guitar, all the way up to the drummer had their own solos at different parts of the show that highlighted their elite skills not to mention Frankie himself performing duets with them.
Frankie also has two other brothers that help out during the show which I thought was kind of cool by keeping it in the family. One brother plays the guitar while the other does funny skits that involves the audience some of the time.
Frankie himself is one man talent show. He can sing, dance, and play numerous instruments including the guitar, the harmonica, the drums, and his best instrument, the piano. His vocal range is off the charts. Some of the songs he sings go from high to low and vice versa without him missing a beat. This guy kind of reminds me of a young Elvis with the way he entertains the crowd with the movement of his hips, especially to the ladies young and old.
As for the songs he sings, some he wrote for other singers, some he wrote for himself, and others he does awesome covers of some of his favorites. Some of the songs he sings just strictly playing the piano and I must say it seems like the piano itself is apart of him meaning whatever he thinks, the piano does. Forget the keystrokes, it seems like he is barely touching the piano at all. That is how good he is.
Overall Frankie is a good showman its obvious that his actions are based on the crowd reaction. For instance, in between songs he would talk for a bit and ask people in the audience questions. Sometimes the next song he sings is because of the interaction that just happened. So I can honestly say every show is not gonna be the same. Frankie does a good job of keeping the show flowing. Its a solid 75 minute nonstop roller coaster ride!
