Almost everyone knows that The Beatles are one of the most acclaimed bands in rock and roll history because their music has the hypnotic qualities that made teenage girls scream and artists of today and yesterday cite The Beatles as an influence on them.
While most of us don’t have the opportunity to see the two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr, live in concert these days, the closest thing to watching an actual Beatles concert will be on around Feb. 5 at Paladino’s Club in Tarzana at 8 p.m.
You mean just another tribute band? No, because not all tribute bands are alike.
This one portrays the Beatles—John Lennon (Nathaniel Bott), Paul McCartney (Christopher Overall), George Harrison (Jesse Wilder) and Ringo Starr (Axel Clarke)—as authentically as possible, from their singing to the myriad of guitars used throughout the band’s decade-long career. Listening to songs like “Penny Lane” or “I Want To Hold Your Hand” from this tribute band is almost like listening to the original icons themselves. The cast members are age appropriate for the Beatles, between 22 – 32 years of age. With their tight harmonies, flawless note for note renditions of Beatles hits, custom–tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to every detail, Abbey Road has honed their show to become one of the most musically and visually satisfying Beatle tribute acts in the world.
The musicians that portray “The Beatles” connect with the crowd through their lovable sense of humors and cheeky banter. Three costume changes cover the full range of the Beatle experience and beyond, with authentic early black Beatle suits, Sgt. Pepper’s regalia and Abbey Road attire.
“The show delivers!” said the L.A. Times. “If you see one tribute show, see this one – smart and loads of fun,” said the O.C. Register. “This is the ticket for you,” said the Idaho Statesman.
The band recently concluded a three month run at the Harrah’s Reno showroom. Abbey Road also headlines the Coach House, the Canyon Club, House of Blues, Belly Up, Harrah’s Tahoe, Harrah’s Rincon and Pala Casino.
The show in Tarzana is part of a 110 stop tour of the U.S., Australia and Canada. The show has been touring since 2008.
