PALMDALE \u2013 Showcasing rock and roll classics such as Jumping Jack Flash<\/em>, Paint it Black<\/em>, Satisfaction<\/em>, and It\u2019s Only Rock and Roll<\/em>, \u201cThe Hollywood Stones: A Tribute to the Rolling Stones\u201d will take the stage this Saturday, Aug. 4 at 8 p.m. at the Palmdale Amphitheater<\/strong> as part of the City of Palmdale\u2019s 2012 Starlight Concert Series.<\/p>\n

\u201c’The Hollywood Stones\u2019 are an amazing five piece tribute band to one of rock and rolls most legendary and longest lasting groups,\u201d said Palmdale\u2019s Communications Manager John Mlynar.\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019ve been together for more than a dozen years and their shows are packed with a street fighting stage attitude and full-tilt classic rock as they relive the biggest hits of the Rolling Stones.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band is comprised of Dick Swagger, a Mick Jagger impersonator who reproduces studio quality Mick Jagger vocals with all the legendary Jagger moves and costumes; Keef Riffoff, who nails\u00a0 Keith Richards to a T, from his rolling rhythm guitar, to his stage prowling presence; Harley Watts, the drummer who plays with the same subtle elusive groove as Stones drummer Charlie Watts; Rick Taylor, who covers with precision the solos and licks of all the Stones\u2019 guitarists; and Will Hyman, an extraordinary bass player with a powerful understated manner who, teamed with Harley Watts, recreates that Rolling Stones pulse.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Stones have garnered an impressive array of critical acclaim over the years.<\/p>\n

Slash, of \u201cGuns N\u2019 Roses, has said, \u201cI love great cover bands, and what you guys do is cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC News said they were \u201cthe premier Rolling Stones Tribute Band.\u201d<\/p>\n
