A hot Rod with no brakes

Sir Rod Stewart may be 78 years old, but his engine is still as fast and smooth as that of a prestige sports car. The septuagenarian is currently on a world tour and will hit our shores in March for a string of shows accompanied by Cyndi Lauper and Australia’s Jon Stevens. 

Stewart is one of the highest selling recording artists of all time and one of the hardest working entertainers in the business. His career began at age 17 when he started busking with a harmonica, and since then Stewart has continued writing, recording, and singing songs that have become classics. 

Roderick David Stewart was born in London on January 10, 1945 to Scottish and English parents. The early part of his career included gigs with Long John Baldry, Jeff Beck Group and Faces, before he broke away and proved his chops as a solo artist. 

Stewart’s first hit single was “Maggie May” in 1971. It was hugely successful and all eyes and ears were waiting for  Stewart’s next golden tune. He didn’t disappoint. In fact, he followed up with hit songs almost every year of that decade: “You Wear It Well” (1972); “Sailing” (1975); “I don’t Wanna Talk About It” (1975); “Tonight’s The Night” and “The First Cut Is The Deepest” (1976); “You’re In My Heart”  and “Hot Legs” (1977);  “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” (1978); “Young Turks” (1981). 

In all, Stewart has released 32 studio albums, with up to 10 reaching number 1 on charts around the world. He has had more than 16 top ten singles around the world and his music continues to sell consistently. 

Stewart was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, as a solo artist, then again in the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Faces.

In 2016, Stewart was knighted for services to music and charity.

Sir Rod Stewart will perform the hits from his vast catalogue in a shows around the country, including several vineyard concerts as part of the A Day On The Green series. 

Cyndi Lauper will also perform her timeless songs during breakout set and Jon Stevens will join the superstars on stage.
