The Blushing Brides, who have been performing their Rolling Stones tribute show since 1979, are now on their 40th anniversary tour. The world’s longest and most successful Rolling Stones tribute band,” the Blushing Brides have performed more than 4,000 Stones tribute shows in their 40-year history, predominantly in Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime provinces, and the Eastern U.S.
The Brides began blushing way back in 1979 when lead singer, Maurice Raymond, originally from Montreal, along with guitarist James Green, also from Montreal, met some other musicians from Kingston. They decided to form a band and to make the format a tribute to their favorite band, The Rolling Stones. Raymond as Mick Jagger and Green on guitar are the two remaining original members from the group’s 1979 inception.
