The Music

The Stoneleighs recreate the sound and feel of the Rolling Stones note for note.  With an emphasis first on the music and feel of the Stones, we play the top hits of the Stones to the deep cuts played live.  We cover songs primarily from the late 60's to the 90's.  Each gig is a re-creation of a specific live show the Stones played....song for song.

So, if you're between a rock and a hard place, let's spend the night together and get happy.  Cause you know....it's only rock and roll!
