Touring the globe and sharing the stage with rock legends such as Tina Turner,  Rush, Bob Seger, Meatloaf, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer and Roy  Orbison, life-long Canadian musician, songwriter and recording artist, Doug Varty,  has made it his mission to give people what they’re looking for in live  entertainment.

“When my band and I used to play Rod Stewart covers in pubs, people would  often ask me if I was lip-syncing to a track because of the striking similarity  between myself and Mr. Stewart’s voices”, says Doug. “When I assured them  that it was really me, they’d insist that me doing a Rod tribute show would be a  big hit. Though a little reluctant at first to wear the wig and the shiny suits, I  started out in the tribute biz about twenty years ago and quickly learned to  embrace the opportunity to become someone else, just for a while.”
