Forever Young - The Rod Stewart Experience
2023-09-30 19:30 - 22:00 | Market Hall Performing Arts, 140 Charlotte St Third Floor, Peterborough, K9J 2T8
Doug Varty’s Forever Young is the ultimate music tribute to Rod Stewart, the acclaimed British rock singer-songwriter.
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, but a bit mischievous, and I’m always up to something. It’s a thrill, keeping the energy all the way up.”
