Stones & Stewart

The Rolling Stones show is framed as a concert-theater presentation focused on the band’s early years and long career. The performance draws on the look and movement of the young Stones, with Mick, Keith, Charlie, Bill, and Brian represented onstage. The show also uses stage banter, onstage video projection, and multiple wardrobe changes to support a live retrospective format that reaches back to the swinging 60s. Song selections span multiple eras of the Stones’ catalog, with close attention paid to performance detail, wardrobe, and instrumentation.

The Rod Stewart side centers on Gregory Wolfe, whose music background began early with singers including Nat King Cole and Andy Williams. At nineteen, while living in Lansing, Michigan, he went to work at General Motors and stayed there for eleven years. In the summer of 1984, he entered a tribute contest that led to being flown to Los Angeles by the producers of Putt’n on the Hits, then the number one rated television show in syndication.

After that, Gregory moved to Los Angeles and built a career performing as Rod Stewart. The source material states that he has presented the act internationally, with appearances described as ranging from Singapore to South Carolina and from Bangkok to Berlin.

In 2005, Gregory also began working with a 35-piece orchestra based in Orange County, California, performing standards from the Great American Songbook at corporate functions and fundraisers in and around the Los Angeles area. In 2006, he launched Gasoline Alley, a tribute to the early years, which debuted on September 30 at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano.

For buyers looking at tribute programming, Stones & Stewart offers material tied directly to The Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart, with named production elements and a performer background rooted in long-running tribute work.
