They have been performing their high-energy show both nationally and internationally. This acclaimed tribute to The Rolling Stones has won the praise of club owners, critics, fellow musicians, and die-hard Stones fans. Mick Adams channels Mick Jagger on stage with his incredible voice, range, and dance moves, and energy. Mick has twice been featured on AXS TV's, The World's Greatest Tribute Bands and has been called the world's greatest Mick Jagger impersonator. As the former lead vocalist for Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, Mick has toured with the likes of Tommy James, The Turtles, The Monkees, The Association, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Buckinghams, Herman's Hermits, and Ron Dante & the Rascals.

Since the 80s Jeff has played in many original bands and tribute groups. Drummer Vince Lupo mindfully brings the sounds of Charlie Watts to the forefront. Vince's musical knowledge - possessing degrees in both music and psychology combined with his keen ear for music - enables him to perfectly shape the rhythmic textures and backbeats of the Stones' classic hits. Vince resembles the real “Wembley Whammer” and can actually recreate Charlie’s tone and tempo quite realistically. Guitarist Ron Jessurun shines as brightly as Ronnie Wood under the lights. Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands and raised in California - Ron developed an early love for music he graduated from the Guitar Institute of Technology in 1985. Ron performed in many bands and played for Cirque du Soleil's “Dralion” show on tour. He has opened for such notables as The Winery Dogs, Michael Schenker Group, Thin Lizzy, Black Star Riders, Foghat, and Blue Oyster Cult.

She is also a vocal performance coach, currently working with Grammy Award winning engineer, Alan Sanderson, to produce up and coming artists. She grew up singing for the Oklahoma and Texas “Oprys”. With over 6,000 shows under her belt, Taylin has had the honor to perform for the USO in Ecuador and Cuba, Walt Disney, Opryland, and Nascar.

She has worked with some of music’s greatest stars such as Chuck Berry, Gary Morris, Garth Brooks, Tanya Tucker, Dionne Warwick, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Ed McMahon, The Wooten Brothers, Toby Keith, Harry Connick Jr., and Colin Raye. Bassist Marvin Sperling keeps the low end on high as he performs as Bill Wyman on stage. A dynamic bass player who's performed and recorded with a wide range of artists, Marvin played violin and guitar at a young age. He soon discovered that his true instrument was the bass guitar after being influenced by The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Marvin has played, produced, and recorded for over 40 years with artists such as Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake, and Palmer), Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Kelly Hanson (Foreigner, Heaven and Earth), Robert Fleischman (Journey), and Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot, King Kobra).

Ethan performed internationally with blues greats Big Joe Turner, Joe Huston, and the legendary Chuck Berry. He worked his way through college as a musician and earned an M.S. in Geophysics – becoming an earthquake scientist and then a software engineer.
