The Rod Stewart Experience 
After premiering his new blues show at a bar in Long Island NY, he happened to hear shouts of Rod from the audience. These shouts followed him during normal everyday life. So when he dyed his hair and did a Rod Stewart segment in his blues show, the Rod Stewart Experience was born. It later became The Rod Experience when after a few years of developing the show and a huge following, he ran into legendary drummer Carmine Appice in Las Vegas. Thereafter they kept in touch to form The Rod Experience. They recruited Rod Stewart bandmates Danny Johnson, Jimmy Crespo and Phil Chen to officially launch the show and bring it to different parts of the world. 

Rick St James is one of the only tribute singers (certainly the only Rod Stewart tribute artist) to be given a thumbs up endorsement by the artist himself, aka Rod Stewart. Rod's fan club, and tour with members of the artist's band, The Rod Stewart Group.


Rick lives in Nashville Tennessee
