{The Private Meet & Greet}
The walls inside Count’s Vamp’d were buzzing louder than usual Friday night as fans gathered and stood in line to meet one of rock’s most electrifying frontmen, Todd Kerns. And to get their picture taken with Todd and his band.

After everyone got to meet Todd and his band, and have their picture taken with them. The doors opened and Vamp'd filled quickly to capacity with fans and rock stars from all over the US.
The meet-and-greet wasn’t just an autograph session; it was a celebration of community, guitars, and grit, reminding everyone why classic rock still has a pulse in Sin City.
{The Show}
First up for the night was Dr. Rock, one of the longest-running, most successful, and popular bands to ever play Las Vegas!
Dr Rock Band Members:
Dr. Rock Freddie Paguio Lead Vocals, Lou Zaitridge Lead Guitar & Vocals, Kodey Rhoads Lutcavish on guitar & vocals, and William Richards on drums & Vocals.
Dr. Rock delivered a flawless, dynamic performance that perfectly set the tone for the evening, blending classic rock influences with his own brand of music. His setlist included a mix of original compositions (Smile At The Sun) and well-chosen covers (Stone In Love, Bohemian Rhapsody), showcasing his band's musical versatility and deep appreciation for rock traditions. Dr. Rock's commanding stage presence and tight musicianship not only warmed up the crowd but solidified their reputation as a huge force in the local Las Vegas Music scene, leaving the packed house primed and eager for Todd and his friends to take the stage!
On a night that felt more like a backstage pass to the golden age of rock, Todd, with his band, quickly took over the iconic Vegas venue with their awesome music selections (Rebel Yell, Shout It Out Loud, Welcome To The Jungle), and with Todd's signature charm, leather-clad swagger, and a few of his famous friends (Rock Stars) joining Todd and his band during the night onstage. It was like a who's who list of the top stars of rock. Doc Ellis, Al Serrato, Christian Brady, Cassie V. Lapierre Brady, and Brent Muscat left their marks with their signature music during the night. Lol, I just learned that I somehow missed Sebastian Bach showing up to jam "Paradise City" and RUSH with Todd and the band. I did have to leave a bit early to make an East Coast deadline??
{My Take}
Todd Kerns and Friends delivered a powerhouse performance that left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. From start to finish, the night was a celebration of pure rock energy, musicianship, and crowd connection. Backed by a talented ensemble of his closest Rock friends, Kerns commanded the stage with his signature charisma and vocal prowess, transforming the intimate venue into a full-throttle rock arena. The evening not only reaffirmed Todd's legacy in the Vegas music scene but also underscored Count’s Vamp’d massive role as a cornerstone for live rock music in our fair city.
It's time to close this chapter of another awesome night in Count's Vamp'd music history with Todd's well-chosen words during his performance of Welcome To The Jungle.
