Timber Lake Playhouse, 8215 Black Oak Road, Mt. Carroll IL
Delivering an electrifying blend of iconic hits and deep-cut favorites, Hot Rocks: A Rolling Stones Tribute brings their tour to Mt. Carroll's Timber Lake Playhouse on November 15, treating fans to a high-energy concert experience that captures the spirit, sound, and swagger of one of the world’s greatest rock and roll bands.
Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones' first stable line-up comprised vocalist Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. The group started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion in 1964, also being identified with the counterculture of the 1960s. They then found greater success with their own material as 1965's "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Get Off of My Cloud," as well as 1966's "Paint It Black," became international chart-topping hits.
Released in 1966, Aftermath arrived as the Stones' first entirely original album, and the following year, the musicians had the double-sided hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" and experimented with psychedelic rock on Their Satanic Majesties Request. They returned to their roots with such hits as 1968's "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and 1969's "Honky Tonk Women," plus albums such as 1968's Beggars Banquet, featuring "Sympathy for the Devil," and 1969's Let It Bleed, featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter." The latter recording was the first of five consecutive number-one albums for the Rolling Stones in the United Kingdom.
The Rolling Stones' estimated record sales of 200 million makes them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The band has won three Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. In 2019, Billboard magazine ranked the Rolling Stones second on their list of the "Greatest Artists of All Time" based on U.S. chart success. They are also ranked fourth on Rolling Stone's list of the Greatest Artists of All Time.
With the ensemble composed of Bobby Lewis, Jackie Hibbard, Jeff Evans, Chad Lyons, Craig Gysler, and Jeff Enlow, Hot Rocks: A Rolling Stones Tribute comes to the Mt. Carroll theatre on November 15, and admission to the 7:30 p.m. concert is $35-40. For more information and tickets, call (815)244-2035 and visit TimberLakePlayhouse.org.
