Rod Stewart & Son Liam Celebrate Father’s Day Behind The Bar Shaking Up Rockstar Martinis
Two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Rod Stewart and his (newlywed) son Liam joined forces behind the bar at his Essex country estate to kick-off their Father’s Day celebration, ahead of the June 16 holiday. Equipped with whisky, passion fruit liqueur, vanilla syrup, lime juice, Champagne, a shaker and martini glasses, the duo hilariously demonstrate how to make a Rockstar Martini, in time for everyone to grab the ingredients and celebrate Father’s Day with a cocktail.
In a video posted to Rod’s Instagram (@sirrodstewart), Liam plays bartender, taking his dad through the steps to make a Rockstar Martini, a twist on the popular Pornstar Martini, using Rod’s whisky Wolfie’s in place of vodka.
The 29-year-old, who married Nicole Artukovich on Friday in Croatia, is Rod’s son with ex-wife Rachel Hunter. He is also a new father, who celebrated the birth of his son, Louis, with now-wife Nicole in 2023.
“Family is incredibly precious, and I’m grateful that I get to spend as much time as I do with my kids between travel and touring,” said Rod. “I try to bring us all together as much as I can. I’ve always loved Father’s Day – it’s a bit of an excuse to get everyone together, isn’t it? I always raise a toast to my dad Robert too, although this year we’ll be celebrating with a Wolfie’s Rockstar Martini, which will go down a treat with the rest of the family.”
Wolfie’s is available in more than 20 countries. In the US, it’s just launched throughout California, Nevada and Florida and is available for shipping to all states excluding Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, South Dakota, Tennessee & Utah via online orders at wolfieswhisky.com.
Sunday 16 June is a double celebration for Rod this year, as it also marks his wedding anniversary with wife Penny Lancaster. Stewart, in the midst of a sold-out European tour, will play the QE Arena in Leipzig on Friday 14 June, and the Mercedes Benz arena in Berlin on Saturday 15 June before flying back to England to celebrate his anniversary with Penny and mark Father’s Day with his family.

Summerlin Couple Donates Time and Resources to Help Rid Elderly Woman’s Home of Bed Bugs
It’s not a subject most people even want to think about but creepy, crawly bed bugs are real and it can be a real chore to rid one’s house of them.
Summerlin couple Beckie and George Shudinis are all too familiar with bed bugs. Not only does the couple take pride in knowing all they can about Bed Bugs but it has also given them an extraordinary way to give back.
As the Branch Manager for Burns Pest Elimination Beckie Shudinis routinely helps customers get rid of the pesky pest. While most are able to get their homes ready for treatments, recently Shudinis came in contact with an elderly woman in Henderson who didn’t have the resources or the physical strength to prepare her home for treatment.
“Everything in her home was infected with bed bugs, the situation had gotten so out control we knew we had to step in and help this sweet lady before the situation got much worse,” said Shudinis.
So the Burns Pest Elimination manager and her husband volunteered to help. The couple spent their day off on a Saturday buying supplies and prepping the woman’s home so it would be ready for treatment. They did it free of charge not because they had to, but because it was the right thing to do.
“I just kept thinking what if this was my grandmother, I would want someone to help her,” Shudinis said. “There is no doubt this sweet elderly lady needed our help or she would not be ready to have the home treated.”
After the house was prepared by the couple, A Burns Pest Elimination tech came in and heated the house so they could chemically kill all the bed bugs.
Shudinis said the woman later wrote a review on the company’s website and she cried.
This is not the first time The Burns Pest Elimination Manager has stepped in to help a neighbor in need. The couple often works with management companies around the Valley heling veterans and others in need.
“Whether it’s through your job or a charity organization we all need to step in and help one another,” Shudinis said. “It’s an emotional journey when you put someone else’s needs in front of your own and you roll up your sleeve to help. I’m glad we could make a difference that Saturday,” she said.

Burke Rehabilitation Hospital Announces 2024 Burke Award Dinner Honorees Celebrating the Healing Power of the Arts
Burke Rehabilitation Hospital will host the Burke Award Dinner on Thursday, June 6th at Westchester Country Club in Rye, NY. This year’s theme, “Healing Power of the Arts,” highlights the transformative impact of the arts in rehabilitation and recovery. The distinguished honorees are celebrated local abstract artist Aimee Hofmann and MedRhythms, Inc., based in Portland, Maine, the innovative providers behind Burke’s Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) program.
The Burke Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Board of Trustees of Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, is awarded annually to individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to the field of rehabilitation. These contributions may be through personal achievements, the development of research, or the establishment of programs and facilities that assist individuals with disabilities. It celebrates not only the overcoming of physical challenges but also the contributions to the understanding and treatment of physical disabilities.
Aimee Hofmann’s art has inspired many with its vibrancy and depth, symbolizing the resilience and strength found in the journey of recovery. Aimee’s impactful artwork adorns the walls throughout Burke Rehabilitation’s buildings. MedRhythms, Inc. has been a pioneer in integrating music therapy into neurological rehabilitation, demonstrating the profound effects of music on the brain’s healing process. Since 2021 MedRhythms has been the sole provider of NMT at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital.
The Burke Award Dinner serves as the premier fundraising event for Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, with proceeds directly supporting the hospital’s exceptional rehabilitative care services and the Healing Power of the Arts fund. This fund is instrumental in incorporating art into rehabilitation, providing patients with innovative therapeutic options that harness creativity and expression as pathways to healing.
Burke Rehabilitation is a nationally recognized and accredited not-for-profit healthcare organization that provides leading physical rehabilitation treatment, research and graduate medical education. Burke offers a full spectrum of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services to improve the quality of life for people following an injury or surgery and those managing symptoms from chronic conditions. Ranked as a top rehabilitation hospital by US News & World Report, Burke Rehabilitation has the lowest hospital readmission rates in the country and is the largest provider of stroke rehabilitation in New York. In addition to its hospital in White Plains, NY, Burke has 13 outpatient locations in the Bronx, Westchester County, and the Hudson Valley, with additional sites planned. Burke is a proud member of the Montefiore Health System.
Aimee Hofmann is a Westchester-based abstract artist and disability advocate. At 30, she suffered from the neurological condition, Transverse Myelitis which caused complete paralysis from level T10 of the spine. After learning she would never walk again, art gave her peace during the difficult stages of loss, grief, self-reflection and re-discovery. Art helped her emotionally heal, as well as find joy again.
Hofmann’s work is also part of corporate collections at Amazon, JPMorgan Chase & Co., HSBC, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Intuit, State Street Bank, Ipsen, BrownAdvisory and Vigil Neuroscience. She has also shown at local and regional arts centers and has been a guest speaker at Harvard Business School.
She is also a two-time hand-cyclist marathoner, swimmer, and guest speaker. As a disabilities advocate, her goal is to continue to create awareness about inclusion and fair representation for people with disabilities.
MedRhythms, Inc. has been the leading provider of Neurologic Music Therapy in the nation since 2013. It exists to restore the lives and quality of life of loved ones with neurologic impairments. MedRhythms focuses on the intersection between music, neuroscience, and technology, providing interventions to achieve optimum outcomes in sensorimotor, speech & language, and cognitive goals in patients.
Burke’s inpatient NMT program has treated over 600 patients, and in a survey of over 100 patients, 95% believed that NMT contributed to their recovery process. The NMT program aligns with the vision of Burke to lead the field as the most effective and compassionate provider of medical rehabilitation by practicing innovative treatment, pioneering clinical research and inspiring education.
In 2023, this innovative therapy program was expanded to Burke’s outpatient department for a continuum of care. Neurologic Music Therapy is a fully donor-funded program and has increased patient outcomes and improved quality of life for countless patients at Burke.
