Singer Rob Caudill along with legendary drummer Carmine Appice, and Rod Stewart’s former sax player Katja Rieckermann, lead an incredibly talented live tribute band that accurately recreates the sound, excitement, and fun of a Rod Stewart Concert!
Carmine Appice, originally drummer of the Iconic Heavy Metal rock group Vanilla Fudge, was later a close collaborator with Rod Stewart writing, recording and thrilling millions of fans all over the globe for over seven years. Rod was at the very top of his game in terms of chart success, and sheer numbers of tickets sold worldwide. Carmine was right by Rod's side during those most crucial years helping to write some of his biggest hits like “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Young Turks”. Rod has said of Carmine “He was in my band because I found him to be a brilliant drummer, and he wouldn’t have been there if he wasn’t special. People love characters in Rock N Roll, and Carmine was a real character. He still is!”
Singer Rob Caudill is a dead-on Rod Stewart impersonator with the look, the voice and the moves. He has performed all over the world, mesmerizing crowds with his amazing vocals and high energy portrayal of Rod Stewart. A typical Tonight’s the Night set includes all of ROD’s biggest hits including Maggie May, Hot Legs, Rhythm of My Heart, Forever Young, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, Tonight’s the Night, Sailing, Do You Think I’m Sexy, and so many more! Rob has appeared regularly in the longest running Las Vegas based tribute show, “Legends In Concert”. His dazzling production of Tonight’s The Night features another Rod Stewart’s former band member, Katja Rieckermann on saxophone, rounding out a supercharged line-up of extraordinary talent that can’t be missed.
