This is the man that recreates the Rod Stewart experience from his early days with the Faces, throughout the glamour of the 80s, to the more sophisticated Rod of the 90s and beyond. It is a dynamic display of a world-class performer showcasing all the hits that made Rod Stewart a living legend of our time. The show is an exploration of Rod's career with live music cleverly integrated with documented visual displays by way of projection cameras. The show captures the make-up of the man and his music. All the hits from "Maggie May" to "Do ya think I'm sexy?" As well as a trip down memory lane wi ... th a selection of timeless classics from the Great American Songbook. This show is a crowd-pleaser on any level. The legendary hit songs of Rod Stewart brought to life both visually and audibly. Up to 90 minutes of Rod's greatest hits can be performed in a single show or split into smaller sets as required. Rod's brightly coloured jackets, loud shirts, tartan ties and blond spiky hair all replicated along with his trademark sleek moves. This rock n roll show relentlessly pumps out hit after hit as Martin Andrew pays tribute and gives the ultimate salute to a living legend. Martin has performed in Las Vegas at corporate events in most of the Strip Casinos. He has also travelled worldwide with this dynamic and highly entertaining show.
