The Band.

Vocals

Garry Pease

The band is fronted by full-time Rod Stewart tribute artist Garry Pease. Garry is a celebrity in his own right within Rod Stewart circles and plays hundreds of shows every year around the UK and beyond. Originally a skilled machinist, the lifelong Rod fan discovered his talent after being invited up on stage at a social club. He went down so well that people suggested he try doing it for a living, and he has never looked back. Garry not only sounds like Rod Stewart; he looks and dresses like him too.

Guitars

Gaz Morris

Providing the yin to Garry’s yang is the legendary Gaz Morris, the guitarist’s guitarist. Gaz has played in pretty much every band in Birmingham and has the raw rock ’n’ roll attitude of Ronnie Wood, backed up with a guitar tone that can make grown adults weep into their beer. Gaz also looks remarkably like his idol.

Bass

Danny Pease

Danny Pease holds down the bass lines for Rod and the Facez’s take on Rod Stewart and The Faces. He has toured internationally with big name bands, but is happiest on stage with his musical family. It is his actual family too: dad Garry holds the mic and mum Karen manages the band.

Keyboards

Joe Basketts

Classically trained pianist Joe Basketts brings the rolling piano and Hammond style organ that helped give The Faces their sound. An experienced touring musician, Joe plays those classic 70s keyboard parts from his big red organ.

Drums

Ray Richman

Ray “Corona” Richman gives Rod and the Facez their driving beat, from the loose swagger of The Faces to Rod Stewart’s solo hits. He brings energy, precision and a few travel stories of his own — ask him at the bar.
