Frank Sidoris learned early in his career how to assess the right opportunity. Not long after being hired to play guitar in Cirque du Soleil’s Viva Elvis, he was offered the opportunity to go on tour with Vegas-born band The Cab. He mulled it over and debated leaving a paying gig to go on tour. Jerry Lopez of Santa Fe & The Fat City Horns gave him some measured advice: “Vegas will always be here for you. The tour won’t.”
Sidoris went on tour and the exposure while on the road led to a gig with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, with whom he’s written and performed since 2012. He also writes and performs with Wolfgang Van Halen’s band Mammoth WVH, the first rock band to play Allegiant Stadium.
And, of course, Vegas was still here. Sidoris’ success in the music industry has allowed him to reinvest in the Vegas community, including revitalizing the historic Hard Hat Lounge to help create more spaces for locals to connect.
