By the age of eight, he was the only child singing with the adult church choir. Mick's vocal coach was Ben Bollinger, whose other exceptional students included Karen and Richard Carpenter.
Not only is Mick Adams a ringer for Mick Jagger, but he also brings Mick Jagger's intense energy to each performance.

Shane Hunter as Keith Richards
Shane began as a drummer at ten years old and played his first bar gig by the time he was fourteen. By sixteen, he had switched to guitar. As soon as Shane graduated high school, he was off, making a living playing music and performing in a wide variety of cover bands touring the Midwest and Texas. By the end of the 80s, Shane decided to stay in Los Angeles and formed a rock and roll band. While playing the clubs on the Sunset Strip, he was lucky enough to catch the ear of world-famous producer and engineer Andy Johns, who recorded The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and Jimi Hendrix, to name a few. Andy gave Shane incredible insight into his favorite rockers, especially Keith Richards! Shane spent countless hours with Andy Johns, the man who recorded Exile on Main Street. He absorbed the secrets, the riffs, the guitars, the amps, the settings, the mics, and mic placements, the tunings, the stories, etc., like a sponge. The time spent with Andy changed Shane, both as a musician and as a fan. Shane has continued in the music business and has been signed by Enigma Records, Capitol Records, and Zoo Records. He has also owned and operated his own studio. He has recorded and performed with countless incredible musicians, including Ian McLagan, Phil Chen, Michael Anthony, Chuck Wright, Steve Stevens, Walter Ino, Jani Lane, Bret Michaels, and more. Throughout the years Shane has often wondered why he was put in this position to learn all these things firsthand from a man that was there with Mick and Keith when the magic happened and is happy to say that now, being a member of Mick Adams and the Stones, it all makes perfect sense.

His, "the song is king and let the music do the talking" perspective made him the perfect fit for Mick Adams and The Stones.

Tober hails from Long Beach, CA, and is a diverse vocalist, more than capable of singing many different genres of music.
She began singing as a child and is a self-professed choir and theatre "geek." Tober began her singing career by participating in Karaoke competitions all over So Cal. She received her first big break, performing on the television show ironically called, "Your Big Break," a Dick Clark production. She was featured in the pilot episode performing as Gloria Estefan. After hearing Tober’s rendition of Wind Beneath My Wings, Bette Midler gave the green light for Tober to perform it for the Peace Officer's Memorial for the State of California. Tober has performed for the Peace Officer’s Memorial for several years running now. She’s showcased her talents for the California Governor and Attorney General, and for thousands of decorated peace officers and their families, honoring those who have put their lives on the line, and memorializing those who have died in the line of duty.
With her infectious smile and positive energy, once you see her perform, you’ll want to come back for more!
Dave Hecker as Chuck Leavell
Dave, an Arizona native has been playing keyboards for 40+ years and loves classic rock. He began playing at the age of 10 when new neighbors didn’t want a piano that had been left and gave it to Dave’s family. Amazed by his father’s skilled boogie-woogie piano talent he taught himself to play Beatles songs and the like. By twenty-one he was playing in local bars for money and was a member of “Attraction”, the 80’s band “Private Eyes” and The Steve Console Project, an all-original group produced with the help of none other than Steve Vai. Dave continued in the local rock band circuit for years with “Raun Alosi and the Knockouts” and then decided to take a break to raise a family and began playing at church where he was able to pursue his love for praise and worship music. Later when tribute bands became popular he joined “Second Helping” a tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd in the role of Billy Powell. Other projects included “Bret Kaisers Speedway” an Elvis tribute, “Ultimate Bon Jovi” and “Project Presley” led by Chance Tinder a world-renowned Elvis Presley artist, as well as local groups “The Raun Alosi Band” and “Alibi” with Bill Cormier who portrays Mick Taylor in Mick Adams and The Stones®.
Dave has always been a big Rolling Stones fan and is thrilled to be playing the
Nicky Hopkins classics and the Southern styles of The Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell.
