Sir Rod Stewart CBE is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 250 million albums and singles sold worldwide during a stellar career that includes hits in all genres of popular music from Rock, Folk, R&B and even the American Standards. 

This versatility has made him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums throughout every decade of his career, now spanning over fifty years. 

He's been lauded as the finest singer of his generation; he's written several songs that turned into modern standards; earned countless of the industry’s highest awards, among them, two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, New York Times bestselling author, Grammy™ Living Legend, and in 2016 he officially became ‘Sir Rod Stewart’ after being knighted at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.

Born in North London with Scottish Celtic roots, Sir Rod Stewart has one of the most distinctive voices in music. That voice was first heard in the early 60’s with Long John Baldry, Steampacket and Shotgun Express, as well as in his seminal work with Jeff Beck and the legendary rock band The Faces.

He went on to have a stellar solo career recording a string of some of the biggest hits in music including ‘Maggie May’, ‘Forever Young’, ‘Rhythm of My Heart’, ‘Tonight’s the Night, ‘I Don’t Want To Talk About It’ and ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy’.

The 2000’s saw Sir Rod record five acclaimed volumes of his ‘Great American Songbook’ series pushing his career into unchartered territory and is the biggest selling on-going series of new music recordings in history.

Sir Rod Stewart’s rekindled love of songwriting continued with the release of his 31st studio album, THE TEARS OF HERCULES in 2021. The album marked Stewart’s fourth new album of original songs since 2013 when he reconnected with his songwriting muse to record Time, the chart-topping album which entered the Top 10 in the US and ten countries worldwide, including #1 in the U.K., where it’s been certified platinum double-platinum.

In addition, Sir Rod also recently revisited some of his greatest hits with ‘You’re in My Heart: Rod Stewart with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’. A timeless record, the album retains the power, soul and passion of the originals and spent three weeks at the top of the charts making it Sir Rod’s tenth Number One album; a milestone achievement in an already impressive career.

One of the most loved entertainers worldwide, Sir Rod kicked off one of the biggest tours of his career in 2022, as well as the 11th year of his hit Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace. His sell out tour will continue worldwide through 2023 and is receiving rave reviews with the Telegraph commenting, “while so many of his contemporaries have announced retirements, Sir Rod keeps rocking on” and USA Today declaring him “a veritable one-man stroll through pop-music history.

For the past 35 years, Cheap Trick – rock’s power-pop originator – has forged its rightful place among the world’s most accomplished and emulated rock bands with a timeless sound that blends elements of pop, punk, and even metal, in an instantly recognizable way.   Since the release of its self-titled debut album in 1977, Cheap Trick has sold over 20 million records, received 40 gold and platinum recording awards, given more than 5,000 high-powered live performances (the quartet of consummate musicians is widely known for nearly four decades of almost continuous touring), and appeared on 29 movie soundtracks, exhibiting its far-reaching popularity and appeal.  In 2007, Cheap Trick was honored by the Chicago Chapter of NARAS for its extensive and significant contributions to the music industry.

One of the most avant-garde, influential and enduring bands in the history of music, Cheap Trick (Robin Zander – Vocals and Guitar, Rick Neilsen – Guitar and Vocals; Tom Petersson – Bass, Guitar and Vocals; Bun E. Carlos – Drums) has contributed an impressive list of classics to the American Rock Songbook, including “I Want You To Want Me,” “Surrender,” “The Flame,” “Dream Police,” and “Can’t Stop Fallin’ In Love.”  Likely one of the most covered bands of all time, Cheap Trick continues its reign as power-pop progenitors worldwide – especially in the United States, Australia, Europe and Japan.  In the latter, they are often referred to by the press as the “American Beatles.”  The band was ranked among the Top 25 in VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and its 1977 sophomore album, In Color, was ranked in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. 

Heaven Tonight, the third record by the esteemed Illinois-based rockers released in 1978, was the first album ever recorded with a 12-string electric bass and made the band megastars in Japan, creating a frenzy reminiscent of “Beatlemania” on its first tour of the country.  Two concerts attended by loyal Japanese fans at the Nippon Budokan were recorded during the 1978 tour, and the monumental live album Cheap Trick at Budokan was released, launching the band into international superstardom.  The galvanizing live recording went triple platinum in the U.S. powered by the smash “I Want You To Want Me.”  By the time All Shook Up (produced by former Beatles producer George Martin) was released in 1980, Cheap Trick was headlining arenas and lighting up the charts.  Abundant success continued with 1985’s Standing On The Edge (called the band’s “best collection of bubblegum bazooka rock in years”); 1988’s platinum “comeback album” Lap Of Luxury (including No. 1 “The Flame”) and 1990’s Busted.       

Cheap Trick has continued its amazing run into the 21^st Century with an authenticity and focus that perpetually sets the band apart.  In August of 2007, the band honored the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by playing the album in its entirety with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and guest vocalists.  Recent performances of its entire Dream Police album with an orchestra received critical acclaim; its music has been featured in recent ad campaigns by Audi, McDonald’s, and John Varvatos and in video games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band; and the theme song for Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report was written and performed by Cheap Trick.  Its current album, The Latest, has received glowing reviews worldwide, and the band continues to thrill crowds around the globe with its phenomenal live performances – most recently on a North American Tour with Aerosmith. 

Highly regarded and respected by its peers, Cheap Trick has inspired and influenced countless other artists and bands – Joey Ramone, Gene Simmons, Joe Perry, Angus Young, Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hüsker Dü, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, and Kurt Cobain among them.  Cheap Trick has made an indelible mark on rock and roll…and the band’s legacy continues.
