Rod Stewart: Havin’ A Party

Rod-Stewart-Doug-600-2Rod Stewart “Havin’ A Party”

It takes a special kind of performer to create the voice and stage presence of Rod Stewart, the timeless vocalist known for hits like “Hot Legs,” “Forever Young”, “Maggie May” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.”

Doug Varty is that performer!

And just like Rod, whenever he performs, Doug Varty makes the stage (and the surrounding area) his playground, interacting with the crowd, dancing with, and singing to audience members. “It’s about creating something special, something memorable. Rod’s the minister of fun, and he knows how to show an audience a good time. So that’s what I do.”

“I love doing the Rod Stewart show – re-creating  the ultimate front man”, Doug says, “pouring your heart and soul into every song, always in motion, always reaching out to people. It’s real entertainment, a bit  mischievous, always up to something. It’s exciting, keeping that energy all the way up.”

Does he look like Rod Stewart?  “Oh yeah, when the hair’s up and I’ve got those black trousers on, watch out!” he quips. You’ll recognize Stewart’s soulful rasp, his trademark outfits and swaggering stage moves when you see Doug Varty’s “Havin’A Party”.
