Marietta, Ga. (May 3, 2012) — Hitting The Strand stage on May 18th as part of the 2012 Music Series will be The Jagged Stones, a tribute to The Rolling Stones with acclaimed vocalist and Jagger look-alike Stephen Skipper.
The Jagged Stones put on a show that teems with the same unbridled spirit and raw energy that made The Rolling Stones the iconic act it is today. Fans will be satisfied with the pout, preen and raunchy riff they’d expect, bringing the entertainment level of an over-the-top arena show up close and personal in The Strand’s 500-seat theatre.
The show includes Stones classics such as “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, “Satisfaction”, “Start Me Up”, and “Brown Sugar”, and die-hard fans will be equally satisfied to hear deeper cuts making their way into the set list.
Stephen Skipper, as Mick Jagger, looks, acts, and sounds the part in addition to being a fantastic sax player, injecting a blast of brass into the show. The rest of the band is an arsenal of top-notch, seasoned musicians (Barry Zion, David Lang, Eddie Brodeur, Joel Edwards, & Martin Abbott) who painstakingly recreate each note of this time-honored music.
Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 day-of. Seating is general admission and tickets can be bought at The Strand Box Office.
