Last night, I sat down and had a fascinating and entertaining conversation with professional drummer and percussionist Jeff Tortora, one of the busiest rock stars on planet Earth. We talked at length about his multifaceted life in the music and entertainment industries. What an amazing musician, and cool dude to talk to! Our talk (Interview) lasted for just a little over 30 minutes, but we could have talked for hours about Jeff's interesting life in showbiz!
Jeff's story reminded me of an interview that I did a few years back with another amazing rock star, Mr. Mitch Perry. His interview lasted for almost 3 hours! What an amazing person, and old school classic rocker!
Back to today's story.
I had originally contacted Jeff for an interview about how his gig with Count's 77 (Band) went in Sturgis, South Dakota, at this year's Motorcycle Rally. But within only a few minutes into our conversation, my attention quickly turned to Jeff himself. After our conversation ended, I quickly started doing research about him, and after a phone call or two. Here is what I dug up on this very interesting man and rock star extraordinaire!
Jeff Tortora is a dynamic force in the Las Vegas music scene, known for his infectious energy, powerhouse drumming, and charismatic presence as a frontman. A multi-talented performer, Jeff has spent years captivating audiences on the Strip and beyond, combining his exceptional musicianship with his natural ability to entertain. Whether behind the kit or at the mic, he brings a mix of precision, passion, and humor that keeps crowds engaged all night long!. His versatility and showmanship have made him a highly sought-after figure in the Las Vegas entertainment scene, embodying the city’s spirit of high-energy world-class entertainment.
Jeff's resume reads like a who's who in the music and entertainment fields. Jeff currently performs with the Femmes Of Rock, the Blue Man Group, Tinnitus, and Count's 77, among other projects around town.
Femmes of Rock, Blue Man Group, Tinnitus, and Count’s 77 each offer a distinct flavor of live entertainment, showcasing the city’s ability to cater to every taste. Femmes of Rock dazzles with electric string virtuosity, blending violin mastery, rock anthems, and glamorous stage presence into a high-energy, all-female spectacle. Blue Man Group trades traditional instruments for inventive percussion and multimedia artistry, delivering a surreal, comedic, and visually explosive experience. Tinnitus pounds out gritty, hard rock with raw power, guitar-heavy riffs, and a straightforward, no-frills approach that speaks to the purists. Count’s 77, steeped in vintage rock tradition, mixes bluesy swagger and classic rock vibes, fronted by Danny “Count” Koker’s charismatic presence. Together, they embody the eclectic heartbeat of Vegas, where virtuosity, creativity, grit, and nostalgia all share the same stage.

By the way, his gig with Count's 77 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was Awesome!
