BIOGRAPHy

He’s great company! Paul Rodgers is a singer, songwriter and musician, best known for his success in the 1960s and 1970s as vocalist of Free and Bad Company. After stints in two less successful bands in the 1980s and early 1990s, The Firm and The Law, he became a solo artist. He has more recently toured and recorded with Queen. Rodgers has been dubbed “The Voice” by his fans due to his powerful and bluesy voice. A poll in Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 55 on its list of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time”. In 2011 Rodgers received the British Academy’s Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Rodgers has been cited as a significant influence on a number of notable rock singers, including Chris Cornell, David Coverdale, Sammy Hagar, John Waite, Steve Overland, Lou Gramm, Jimi Jamison, Eric Martin, Steve Walsh, Joe Lynn Turner, Paul Young, Bruce Dickinson, Robin McAuley, Jimmy Barnes, Richie Kotzen, Joe Bonamassa, and Ronnie Van Zant. In 1991, John Mellencamp called Rodgers “the best rock singer ever”. Freddie Mercury, the original Queen vocalist, in particular liked Rodgers and his aggressive style. In 2017, Paul Rodgers embarked on a ‘Free Spirit’ UK Tour in May 2017 to celebrate the music of Free by performing songs strictly from the Free catalogue. In the summer of 2018, Rodgers toured with Jeff Beck. Paul Rodgers continues to rock hard!

“Johnny’s performance was top notch. Not only did he perform his hilarious material, but he took the time to banter with the crowd as well. His act was polished with just the right balance of clean humor and the edgier material that college students love. The day after his performance, one student approached me and said, “He is the funniest comic we’ve had all year!” He is the perfect choice for entertainment on any college campus!”

I wanted to let you that Howie Mandel was a hit. You were right he is one quick witted comedian and a total professional – easy to work with. He probably improvised the first third of his act, interacting with the audience. The clients were completely entertained, the audience roared for almost an hour. I was amazed how quickly he won over the audience. It was a hoot. The engagement could not have been better, I appreciate all of your help and guidance.”
Robin R.

“I wanted to let you know how much we LOVED Leslie Odom, Jr. at our event. I received so many emails saying how much they loved his performance and his energy. In addition, I just want to say that Leslie was so easy to work with. He was flexible, personable and made everything so easy and enjoyable. Thank you again for recommending him to us. He will be a hard act to follow!”
