Rod Stewart Tickets

Rod Stewart information, It is amazing that as years pass by, Rod Stewart, among an elite few artists, still remains an icon. Stewart is rock & roll's best interpretive singer as well as an accomplished songwriter. He has created a raw combination of folk, rock, blues, and country that sounds like no other folk-rock or country-rock.

After spending some time as an apprentice with the Brentford Football Club, Rod Stewart began his musical career touring Europe with folksinger Wizz Jones in the early sixties. Fame finally knocked on his door when he joined a band called The Jeff Beck Group. He and the former Yardbird guitarist pioneered the heavy blues-rock team of a virtuoso guitarist and a dynamic, sexy lead vocalist that became the standard blueprint for heavy metal. The band's debut album was released in the fall of 1968, becoming an instant hit in both America and Britain.

In 1969, Rod joined a band called The Faces. That same year, he also started his solo career. The year 1971 was a remarkable year as Stewartís bandís album was ranked number 1 and his third solo album (Every Picture Tells a Story) was simultaneously a huge success in Britain and the U.S.

The next year, Stewart released his fourth solo album (Never a Dull Moment), which nearly replicated the success of Every Picture Tells a Story, peaking at number two in the U.S. and number one in the U.K. In the spring of 1973, The Faces released their final album, Ooh La La.

With 1981's Tonight I'm Yours, Stewart began adding elements of new wave and synth pop to his formula, resulting in another platinum album. Having currently entered into a fifth decade in his career, with 62 worldwide hit singles, and an estimated amount of over $200 million in total sales, Rod Stewart has etched a permanent name for himself in rock and roll history. Not to mention the unmistakable haircut that he has sported all of this time, which we have all come to know and love.
