A Summer Night with Rod Stewart

Music, memories, and a Maggie May Mule

Summer concerts are their own kind of time machine.

One song can take you right back to another time.

That was the feeling of seeing Rod Stewart, with Richard Marx opening the night.

A little date night.

A little memory lane.

And a very good excuse for a Maggie May Mule before heading out.

Rod Stewart brought the charm, the sparkle, and that unmistakable raspy energy to the stage.

Favorite Moments from the Night

Some artists feel less like performers and more like part of your own history.

Rod Stewart is one of them.

And Richard Marx, in his own way, is too.

The songs brought back car rides, old friends, slow dances, summer nights, and maybe even a few questionable fashion choices.

It was not just about the concert.

It was about remembering.

Singing along.

And realizing everyone else was doing the same thing.

Concerts like this are shared history.

A little raspy.

A little romantic.

A little rowdy.

And just right for a summer night.

Richard Marx — charismatic, warm, and completely engaging.

What to Bring

For this kind of night, I like to keep it simple:

  • A clear bag

  • Phone

  • Tickets saved to Apple Wallet — trust me on this one, it makes everything easier

That’s really it.

The less you carry, the easier the evening feels.

Keep the Music Going

A few favorite Rod Stewart and Richard Marx songs to keep the concert memories going long after the final encore.

Listen while you scroll, get ready for a night out, or mix a Maggie May Mule before heading out the door.

May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
— Rod Stewart


A Concert Night Cocktail: The Maggie May Mule


The Maggie May Mule is cold, bright, and easy to make before you head out the door.

It is a simple little nod to Rod Stewart — and works beautifully as a cocktail or mocktail.

Closing

A summer concert is such a good reminder that fun does not have to be complicated.

Sometimes it is just music you love, someone you enjoy being with, a cold drink before you go, and a night that feels a little different from the usual routine.


Because a little music, a summer night and a Maggie May Mule…

is for the Birds.
