Tony
BROCK - drums
|
Tony
Brock's drumming is the big beat at the heart of the Rod Stewart
Group. A native of Poole-Dorset on England's south coast,
Brock first recorded with the band Spontaneous Combustion,
and met Rod Stewart when Brock's group Strider opened for
Stewart and the Faces on their last British tour. When Strider
later split up, the band's guitarist Gary Grainger joined
Rod Stewart while Brock went on to become a member of the
Babys.
M
|
Moving
to America after making their first album, the Babys scored
such hits as "Isn't It Time" and "Every Time I Think Of You"
before splitting up in 1980. Soon after, Rod was reintroduced
to Brock's drumming on the demo tape of the song "Tonight I'm
Yours" and recruited the stickman for the Rod Stewart Group.
M |
A
founder member of the Rod Stewart Group, guitarist Jim Cregan
has become a major player on the Stewart team, assisting in
the production of Tonight I'm Yours and Body Wishes, co-writing
songs for Rod, and of course, highlighting the band's music
with his mastery of acoustic and electric guitars. Englishman
Cregan first became known playing with a succession of British
groups which cluminated in his membership in Family.
|
Jim
CREGAN - guitars
|
After
a world tour with Cat Stevens and Linda Lewis, Jim joined Steve
Harley and Cockney Rebel, adding his guitar touches to their
1975 hit "Make Me Smile". When Cockney Rebel played the Roxy
in Los Angeles, in the audience was Rod Stewart, who was so
impressed with Cregan that he asked the guitarist to join his
first solo band.
M |
Nick LANE - trombone
|
No
stranger to the music scene, trombonist Nick Lane has recorded
albums with Neil Diamond and Paul Anka, arranged songs for Olivia
Newton-John, the Los Angeles Pops Orchestra, and Doc Severinson
and the Tonight Show orchestra, and was the featured trombonist
with jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson for three years prior to
joining Rod Stewart for his 1984 tour.
|
During
the years with Ferguson, Lane composed and arranged 17 songs
for the four albums recorded for Columbia Records. A graduate
of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Lane was born and raised
in Marshalltown, Iowa, and now makes his home in Los Angeles.

Kevin
Savigar hit his first rock'n'roll stage when he joined the Rod
Stewart Group in 1978, but the classically-trained pianist has
since made his mark in the group with his keyboards proficiency.
Educated at London's Trinity College, Savigar had previously
played in pit bands in West End theatres, club bands and recording
sessions for TV jingles.
|
Kevin
SAVIGAR - keyboards
|
His
melodic talents have also been heard through Savigar's songwriting
partnership with Jim Cregan, who contributed songs to Tonight
I'm Yours and Body Wishes. Savigar has also played on records
by John Cougar and Kenny Loggins in addition to his work with
the Rod Stewart Group.
M |
Robin
LE MESURIER - guitars
|
Both
talent and fate had their part in bringing guitarist Robin Le
Mesurier to the Rod Stewart Group. The son of British comic
actors John Le Mesurier and the late Hattie Jacques, Robin first
hit the charts in England unterneath fake fur as one of the
Wombles, a set of kiddie toys brought to life as a band. After
being bounced from the ensemble for "unwomblish" activities,
Le Mesurier briefly played with the band Limey before joining
Rod Stewart's 1976-77 tour of Europe and Australia in an "executive"
capacity - tuning guitars. |
|
After
playing with members of Limey in the second edition of the
band Strider, Le Mesurier again joined a Stewart tour - this
time playing guitar with Air Supply when they opened for Rod
in America.
By 1978 the Englishman was living in Los Angeles, so it was
only a matter of time before he joined Rod Stewart once more
- now as a guitarist.
Robin has also played with Ron Wood and Randy Van Wormer,
recorded an album of ochestrated Police songs with the Royal
Philharmonic title Arrested, and co-written songs for Rod
Stewart.By 1978 the Englishman was living in Los Angeles,

England, Charlie Harrison got his first bass at age 14 and

Gene Vincent, Leo Sayer, Frankie Miller, Spencer Davies and
Al Stewart. Relocated to Los Angeles since 1976, Charlie recorded
on albums with Roger McGuinn before joining Poco 1976. In
1983, Charlie ventured out on his own. Then came Rod in 1986.

Jimmy
was born in Suffolk, Virginia, USA and started his musical career
in the school marching band. At 13, he began playing the club
scene in Virginia.He attended Virginia State College, majored
in music, and intended on a career as a music educator. However,
the excitement of live performance took him to Toronto, Canada
in 1970 with the Doug Walker Quartet. He then played with "Truck"
in London, Ontario. Recording and touring was Jimmy's life.
In 1974, he moved to Los Angeles where he thought he could fully
pursue his goals as a musical artist. |

Corey is the Rod Stewart Group's utility instrumentalist, playing
both guitar and keyboards with equal finesse, instruments he
first started studying at the age of four. By the time he was
18, Corey had his first recording contract with RCA as a member
(along with the Knack's Doug Feiger) of a band called Sky. |
John
COREY - guitars

After
a hiatus from the music business, Corey returned to peak form
as a member of Silver Condor, writing the band's 1981 Top 20
hit "You Could Take My Heart Away Tonight".
He toured for a year with Silver Condor (whose membership included
Rod Stewart Group bassist Jay Davis) before quitting to join
former Eagle Randy Meisner's band as guitarist for international
tour. Recommended to Rod Stewart by Jay Davis, Corey has become
the Rod Stewart Band's double instrumental threat.
