Biography: American English! The hottest Beatles tribute band in the nation! Get ready to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to the era of mini skirts, go-go boots, transistor radios, flower children, psychedelic colors and of course, "The Fab Four." Transform yourself back to the years of 1963 through 1970. Relive the electrifying experience of Beatlemania with incredible detail. Kevin Mantegna as John Lennon Kevin's image has to be witnessed to be believed; the closeness to John is astonishing. In the later part of the show, wearing his white suit, round glasses, and long hair of the Abbey Road era has people mesmerized. Strumming his classic short scale Rickenbacker guitar and belting out rockers like "Twist and Shout," or sitting at the piano and winding through "I am the Walrus," makes people want to relive this experience over and over. Eric Michaels as Paul McCartney Eric will genuinely turn your head, whether he's walking up to the microphone to sing or is playing his left-handed Hofner (500/1) 1962-63 Violin Bass. People are amazed at his close resemblance to Paul and his vocal capacity to scream a song like "I'm Down" or melt the audience with "Yesterday." We must also mention his piano playing skills as well. Watch him play and sing songs like "Lady Madonna" or "Hey Jude." Now you're guaranteed the Complete Beatles Experience! Martin Scott as George Harrison Martin is unequaled as George Harrison. Martin's vocal style and legendary note for note guitar solos of the late Harrison will leave all mesmerized. Martin's performance as the quiet Beatle is so true to life, that George's own sister Louise, who witnessed Scott's performance, was moved to tears and was quoted as saying that she felt her late brother was with her again. Tom Gable as Ringo Starr Tom also takes his job so seriously that not only can he duplicate Ringo's voice in those fun loving songs like "Yellow Submarine," or "With a Little Help from My Friends," but can replicate the wild, unorthodox, yet solid and original drumming that Ringo was known for on his Ludwig drums. Don't let Tommy's melancholy Ringo look fool you; he is always the first to smile and sign autographs after a concert. Ken Zemanek, as George Martin, the Beatles producer Ken is the missing ingredient of almost all Beatles tribute bands. He fills the role of the Beatles producer George Martin by playing live and without any tapes or sequencers, all the special effects and difficult instrumentation of the Beatles songs. For instance, those wonderful horn parts of "Got to Get You Into My Life," or all the backwards tapes, flutes, orchestra piano, tambourine, organ etc.. It would take a book by itself to list all the accompanist parts that the Beatles and George Martin invented. Ken is tirelessly working on new sounds all the time and recreates them to perfection with his Korg keyboard. |
