Stop Thief has existed in a variety of forms, with different names and membership, for over ten years.  However, the current incarnation of Stop Thief continues to perform a wide variety of music that pleases listeners of all ages.  Stop Thief performances feature an energetic and entertaining mix of easily recognized popular music for the enjoyment of crowds ranging from happy-hour patrons, to wedding reception guests. Stop Thief's mixture of cover songs is drawn from such diverse genres as modern and classic rock, Motown, old-school R&B, and 80's pop, with a dash of hip-hop thrown in for good measure.  As a result, their ability to engage audiences makes them an ideal band for local venues, private parties and corporate functions.

Based in Rockville, Maryland, Stop Thief's membership arrives from across the greater Washington DC metropolitan area.  Jon Stewart was born and raised in Washington, DC. He uses his position as the lead vocalist and dynamic frontman to not only project smooth, soulful melodies, but also the energy and power of rock and roll with each performance he delivers.  Andy Charest hails from Springfield, VA.  As the band's current lead guitarist, he uses his skill to provide the needed sounds that range from the delicate, on songs by such artists as Chris Issak and The Spinners, to the bone-crunching, on tunes by such bands as Green Day and The Offspring.  Kevin Pritz on bass and Steve Jordan on drums, complete the band with their solid, foundational rhythmic interplay that helps Stop Thief to set the mood for listeners to slow dance, or to put audiences on their feet for more energetic 'getting down!'  To learn more about Stop Thief, check out the rest of this website and view the band's MySpace page here.
