The Unauthorized Rolling Stones will be performing at the West Side Theatre in Newman on Jan. 10.

NEWMAN— Fans of classic rock are in for a powerhouse night as Rudy Colombini & The Unauthorized Rolling Stones take the stage at the West Side Theatre on Friday, Jan. 10, at 8 p.m., delivering a fullthrottle tribute to one of the most iconic bands in music history.

Since forming in 2001, the San Francisco–based group has earned a national reputation for capturing the electricity, swagger, and unmistakable sound of a live Rolling Stones show. Their performances honor the legends of the classicrock era while staying true to the Stones’ core—big vocals, bigger riffs, and the kind of kinetic energy that defined generations of rock and roll.

At the center of it all is frontman Rudy Colombini, whose Jaggerinspired stage presence has been widely praised as one of the most convincing tributes in the country. Colombini, who has seen the Rolling Stones live 20 times, says his performance is the result of years of studying the smallest details.

“It’s been a deep drill into little nuances and movement,” he said. “Frankly, it’s nearly impossible to find a better mentor than Mick Jagger for a performer. He’s an incredible entity.”

The band promises a fullscale rock event packed with hits, charisma, and the kind of showmanship that keeps audiences on their feet. “It’s a big show,” Colombini said. “A real Rock and Roll event.”

Beyond the stage, Colombini is a longtime Bay Area rock figure with more than 50 years of performing experience, three Top 40 hits, and shared stages with artists like Elton John, Journey, and Train. He is also the founder of Music City San Francisco—now The Starfactory—a groundbreaking fivestory hub designed to develop and launch emerging musicians through education, rehearsal, recording, live performance, and broadcast media. His nonprofit, Music City Artist Development, continues that mission by supporting sustainable careers for artists.

Tickets for the West Side Theatre performance are $25 for general admission and $30 for reserved seating. More information and ticket purchases are available at ticketleap.events/events/westsidetheatre.
