Expect to be amazed by faithful renditions of classic Stones songs in a stellar live homage that recreates their sound with top notch musicianship and seasoned stage theatrics. http://www.facebook.com/mickbelieve/83663652594

You can hear '50s rock influences in their catchy rock tunes and upbeat live performances, and they also like to throw out a few of your favourite oldies covers during their set. http://www.facebook.com/semitoneriot
