Rod Stewart Concert Tickets Still Rocking the House
Rod Stewart has been rocking houses – and sending women into convulsions – for decades. Today, this 60-something artist appears to be happier wooing crowds with classic tunes rather than strutting his stuff with his own standbys like "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"
Despite his sweeter, softer image today, the audiences still love this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and Rod Stewart concert tickets continue to sell well at venues across the country.
A History of Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart was born in 1945 in London, England, as Roderick David Stewart. His love of music didn't come until later in his early adulthood, after excelling as a soccer player and working a string of odd jobs, including one position as a grave digger.
It was in the 1960s that the music bug bit, and Stewart began working in a few different bands to get his feet wet in the industry. One of his gigs was working in the band dubbed the Faces with Ron Wood, the artist who later became one of the Rolling Stones.
By 1971, Stewart had gone solo and made it big with the release of his "Every Picture Tells a Story" album, which featured the hit single "Maggie May." After that initial success, Stewart went on to release "A Night on the Town" and "Blondes have More Fun," both of which had smash singles attached to them.
While the 1980s saw a slowdown of this musician's popularity, his earlier hits kept him in the spotlight, sold plenty of Rod Stewart concert tickets, and garnered him a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His love of women and hard living also gave him a reputation and a place as one of the most popular rock and roll stars with the female audience.
Sweeter, but Still Sultry Stewart
Today, Stewart is on the road crooning favorites for Rod Stewart ticket holders that go back even before his own time, such as hits from Cole Porter, along with covers from more recent artists like Ike and Tina Turner and Sam Cooke. This new show is promoting his latest passion, which is a series of releases titled "The Great American Songbook."
Stewart says on his website that "if you fancy yourself even a bit of a singer – these songs are like chocolate." His first "Great American Songbook" release occurred in 2002 and entered the Billboard Top 200 at number four. All three of the first albums in the "Songbook" series have been nominated for Grammy Awards and have been certified platinum.
Rod Stewart concert tickets are now selling for the show Stewart is currently sharing with former Fleetwood Mac front woman Stevie Nicks. The two are touring throughout the United States and Canada before making their way overseas for additional dates.
Whether you loved this rocker's former hits that skyrocketed to the top of the music charts or enjoy listening to him croon out these old cover favorites in his familiar throaty growl, you won't want to miss your Rod Stewart tickets coming to a concert venue near you.

where can i find some christian songbooks on the internet?
i'm looking for vocal solo songbooks on the internet. they have to be the conservative, traditional Christian songs. no contempory please.
If you are a member of a church they should have a CCLI licensing membership. CCLI has a song select program that will allow you to access the lead sheets, choral sheets and chord sheets for just about any song and yes they still have all of the old traditional stuff.
I am the director of music at my church and I utilize this resource regularly. Also check a Christian book store.
Don't fear the contemporary stuff. I sing it each week and it is biblical inspired as well. Just make sure you agree with the content and theology

Headlining Stars Power the Las Vegas Strip with Major Star Wattage
<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->
The Rat Pack and Elvis are among the most iconic acts in the history of music, and both of them spent extensive periods of their career performing in front of adoring fans in Las Vegas. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop will forever be linked to Sin City, as they rocked sold-out showrooms at old-school and (long-gone) entertainment palaces like The Sands and The Dunes. The shows were such hot tickets that people would sometimes sleep in their cars if they couldn't book rooms in Vegas just to be near that Rat Pack magic.
Elvis, for his part, has come to define Las Vegas in his own way. The undisputed King of Rock 'n' Roll sold out an astounding 837 straight shows at the Las Vegas Hilton and one of his greatest hits, "Viva Las Vegas," has stood the test of time to become the signature Sin City anthem. The connection to The King lives on to this day as there are countless Elvis impersonators performing in town while Cirque Du Soleil's latest hit, "Viva Elvis" is a tribute to the great star and rock pioneer's legacy.
People often say that "they don't make 'em like they used to" when talking about today's music stars, young and old. While it's true very few musicians, bands or personalities will ever reach the level of fame that The Rat Pack and Elvis did in their heyday, there are still an amazing group of legendary stars who now call Vegas their home as they perform in residency shows in the grandest casinos that Vegas has to offer today.
Donny and Marie Osmond have been performing in Vegas for their entire careers. Donny's very first performance was at The Sahara when he was just seven years old, and Marie sang with her brother for the first of many times in their long career at Caesars Palace, way back in 1973. Now the brother and sister duo are starring in their first Vegas residency show in 29 years at The Flamingo, where you can see the depth of their talent as they sing hits like "Morning Side of the Mountain," "Deep Purple" and "May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day."
You can see another all time legend across the street at Paris, where Barry Manilow has been delighting his most passionate "Fanilows" with his career spanning resident show performances. The singer takes sold out crowds on a journey through his legendary songbook, which includes an unbelievable 25 straight top 40 hits. Manilow performs crowd-pleasers like "I Write the Songs," "Looks Like We Made It," "Copacabana (At the Copa)" and "Mandy" with the same sense of showmanship that he's brought to the stage for more than 35 years and made him a superstar.
Youngsters looking for an icon have to look no further than The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, where Tiesto, considered by many to be the greatest DJ in the world, performs a monthly residency in the resort's concert venue, The Joint. The DJ creates propulsive beats and an electric energy that make his montly performances the hottest party in town.
Garth Brooks retired from performing about a decade ago, hanging up his iconic black cowboy hat in order to spend time with his family. When Steve Wynn, who doesn't know how to take no for an answer, approached the most successful solo recording artist of all time about performing a residency show at his hotel, all it took was a private jet that could take him home to his wife and kids once he finished performing. Garth realized it was an offer too good to turn down, and now he's performing a series of always sold-out shows that people travel from all over the world to experience. While his concerts were once known for their electric energy, Garth's shows at Wynn are more stripped down, intimate affairs featuring just the star, his guitar and his hits. Wynn himself describes the shows as the "equivalent of being in his living room."
And one of the biggest stars of all time is returning to Vegas. During Celine Dion's initial five year run at Caesars Palace from 2003-2007, the pop diva sold out nearly every performance and 3 million people saw her belt out her hits on the stage the Colloseum. After taking a break to tour the world and spend time with her family, Celine is back at Caesars with a brand new show. The gorgeous visuals are designed to evoke the romance of classic Hollywood as the superstar belts hits like "Because You Loved Me," "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and "My Heart Will Go On," backed by her band and a full orchestra. Celine's ability to sell out every show for years during her residency proves that there are still some stars left with the drawing power of the classic stars of old-time Vegas.
These big name headliners in Las Vegas play to sold out crowds of adoring fans and cover every genre you could imagine, but all of them are have one thing in common; by bringing their iconic and legendary star wattage to The Strip, they're all continuing the tradition that Elvis and The Rat Pack started.
