“Performances are a rush,” said Las Vegas singer and musician Frankie Moreno but he also finds it extremely satisfying to compose music. In a recent interview, Moreno talked about his upcoming show at The Smith Center along with his love of music.
“I’m always trying to find new ways to make the shows interesting, and here (Smith Center), I can experiment and try new things I don’t do regularly,” he said. Moreno is a prolific composer and shared that he, along with his brother Tony, who is the bass player in the band, write one or two songs a day.
“Writing taps into people’s emotions, which can be the most powerful or weak moments of (someone’s) life. It’s what we do!” His music, Moreno said, is comfortable for people to connect with and enjoy. “I know what works for us in front of a crowd. If you are fans of ours, you’re going to get it.”
Moreno’s show at The Smith Center covers a broad range of musical styles, from vintage sounds to modern. The artist, who started as a child prodigy pianist, explained that he always wants to be one step ahead with his music and works to accomplish this every day.
The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, 8 p.m. April 3 & 17, starting at $30 plus tax and fee. 702.749.2000
