This coming Saturday night, August 30th, it’s going to be a true family affair as one of the world’s most iconic international stars and his son both perform for the delight of audiences – in different casinos.

While the legendary Engelbert Humperdinck will be performing Friday and Saturday night at The Orleans, Bradley Dorsey, his youngest son, will be making his Las Vegas debut at the Westgate on Saturday night, opening for the band 10CC. Dorsey will sing songs from his latest CD, “I’ve Got Dreams.” The show will take place in the International Theater (where Barry Manilow performs) with Dorsey taking the stage at 7 pm.

“There will be two Dorseys (Engelbert’s real name is Arnold George Dorsey) performing that night in two completely different venues, which is a first for us and pretty cool,” Brad enthuses. “I’m so proud to be singing and putting my heart and soul out there for folks to see and hear.”

This past December 15th, Dorsey’s first full-length CD, “I’ve Got Dreams,” was released on social media music platforms. The first single off the CD, “Come Together,” Dorsey’s original version of the Beatles classic with guitar prodigy Taj Ferrant, sailed to number 38 on the digital world platforms following its debut. The full CD, recorded in Nashville, presents him singing 13 songs, including two songs written by Engelbert in his early days of composing.

“My sound is natural and organic,” Dorsey notes. “I call it soulful Rock ‘n Roll/Pop Rock. Songs on the album include covers of tunes from a diverse group of artists such as early Elvis, Otis Redding, Bob Seger. Steppenwolf, Bob Marley, Kenny Rogers and more. There is even a completely different version of ‘Release Me,’ with my sister Louise and my niece Olivia joining in and Dad even singing a couple of lines. That song put him on the planet and it is a part of him and a part of me. The two songs that Dad wrote on the CD are ‘A Good Thing Going’ and ‘This and That,’ which Tom Jones recorded. “

No word yet on what songs Dorsey will be singing Saturday night. But one thing’s for certain – there’s no better music than when the voices are all in the family.
