The Hollywood Stones are a Rolling Stones tribute band that has been performing Stones hits and cult favorites since 1994. The five piece line-up has worked closely together for decades to perfect the Stones sound and has performed hundreds of gigs taking hardcore fans by storm. Their shows are packed with street fighting stage attitude and full-tilt classic rock.

The band features Dick Swagger, a Mick Jagger impersonator without equal. He reproduces studio-quality Jagger vocals during his dead-ringer performance, topped off with legendary moves and costumes.

Keef Riffhard is always ready to rock, and his rolling rhythm guitar

The Hollywood Stones will perform hits like "Paint It, Black," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Beast of Burden." and prowling stage presence do not disappoint.

Rick Taylor excels at covering Brian Jones’, Mick Taylor’s and Ron Wood’s parts. Seeing him perform these complex solos is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Harley Watts plays the pocket with that subtle, elusive Charlie groove like no other. The Stones don’t rock without that grove, and Watts is a true gentleman and was a personal friends of Charlie Watts himself.

Teamed with Watts, Will Hyman recreates that Rolling Stones pulse that gets ladies screaming and everyone’s feet moving. Hyman is an extrordinary bass player with a powerful, understated manner.

Before and after the show, drummer Rob Shanahan, otherwise known as Harley Watts, will sign copies of his book “VOLUME 2: Through the Lens of Rob Shanahan,” a 224-page book of color and black-andwhite photos of famous musicians in the studio, backstage and performing. The book also features a tribute to Charlie Watts. Books will be available for purchase for $70.
