Like his legendary counterpart, Rob was born and grew up in New York City, learning to play the guitar at age 14. His main influences while growing up were Elvis, the Beatles, and quite naturally Neil Diamond. In 1974 he moved to Las Vegas along with his parents and younger brother.
There are many people who would like to but never get the chance to see Neil Diamond perform. I love the challenge of re-creating the performances of this great musical legend who I hope still has many years of performances left in him." said Rob.

Stewart, originally from London and cousin to rock star, and latter - day classic tunes crooner - Rod Stewart, has been performing since age 17, and has seen the world from the stage, so to speak, along with the people and places that have fitted the times through which he has moved gracefully. "I love doing this," Stewart says of performing, "It's Great". He records on Capitol Records Label and also played with Richard Santana, a cousin of guitar wizard Carlos Santana, is friends with Eagles Guitarist, Joe Walsh, and keeps in touch with cousin Rod.
His impersonation of his cousin is undeniably masterful, and includes the raspy voice and accent and hairstyle. It is particularly evident when he sings on bended knee to long-legged, mini skirted blonde Joe Rae during Stewart's famous "Hot Legs".

Music has, obviously, always been an integral part of my life. Even early on, I always managed to work it into my daily schedule. In Indiana, for example, I worked a day job from 8AM-4:30PM, then played bar gigs at night until 2AM - came home, showered, slept (a bit), and was back up for work at 7:30AM. When I had a gig elsewhere, I'd use my vacation days. I also worked for many years at Wachala's Music Store in Indiana. When I opened my own music store in Oregon, I got invaluable pointers from the people there and was able to draw on the experience. I remember the time spent there fondly.
I am in my 11th year of performing 50's music. Although I keep up with the current waves peripherally, I try not to let today's music taint the traditional rock and roll. During my rare time-off, frequent trips to Nashville allow me the opportunity to catch up on new music. Weather permitting, I also use the time to golf as much as possible!
I see my greatest accomplishment as simply being able to perform for the last twenty years. Thanks for stopping by I look forward to seeing each and every one of you.
See Kenny James as part of The Day The Music Died.

Rose Winebrenner - better known to the piano bar and steakhouse crowds as Chicago Rose - is something of a virtuoso, though she's the last person who would say it. Yet, how else would you describe, a 30-year-old singer whose songbook isn't a book at all because she performs more than 500 songs strictly from memory?
She began to set herself apart from her peers early in her career, during a short-lived stint in a blues group, the Jane Rio Band. The band had trouble keeping a lead singer, so rather than change the groups name, every subsequent singer was called Jane Rio. Except, of course, Winebrenner. "[The bandleader] just said 'You're no Jane Rio' and started calling me Chicago Rose."
Winebrenner performs about 300 shows a year. Her playlist is diverse and includes everything from Broadway show tunes to pop and jazz standards. Of course, she wouldn't be a popular piano bar singer is she didn't take requests, and Winebrenner has heard it all, from Smash Mouth to Sinatra.
"That's why people like me at the piano bar," she says. "I can entertain anybody who comes into the bar."
