Earlier this month, Drew Carey popped in to Ravello Lounge to enjoy a lil' Bronson & company as did the well-known lounge singer and entertainer Cook E. Jarr. Lon himself will be the first to tell you that you never know who might jump onstage when his band is performing! "Impromptu guest stars are all part of the show. We never know who might come, and that t definitely makes performances interesting."

The Band has garnered widespread acclaim and a rich history of headliners and performers who have sat in to perform when passing through town. Performers like Skunk Baxter, The Righteous Brothers, Huey Lewis, Tower of Power, Blood Sweat & Tears, The Temptations, Taylor Dane, David Cassidy, Penn Jillette, The Bare Naked Ladies, Tom Jones, Joe Walsh and the cast of the HBO Drama, The Sopranos have come by in just the past few years.

Now, we know we've mentioned Ravello Lounge before, but we must say it again, we love our lounge. The seating is comfortable (nice velvet chairs), the bar is mere steps away and first-rate lighting, stellar stage and an impressive sound system round out this great live music lounge. But don't take our word for it - take Lon's!

"Ravello Lounge is by far the best intimate, lounge setting that we've enjoyed in many years. It has a great 'vintage Vegas vibe' that a lot of lounges are missing. Imagine watching and listening to a ten piece horn band performing in your living room!"

And perform is exactly what this band does. They've even been featured on NBC, HBO and TBS. Members of the Bronson Band have backed up and performed with The Temptations, The 4 Tops, David Foster, Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Diana Ross, Don Henley and Elton John and that's just a partial list!

The Emmy-nominated Lon Bronson always delivers a great show. Don’t want to miss a rare chance to see this legendary Vegas band in the intimate setting of Ravello Lounge!

Here’s a rundown of their show times:

Tonight & Tomorrow (Thurs & Fri) – 9:30 pm to 12:30 am
