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 – A Tribute to the Beatles has honed their show to become one of the most musically and visually satisfying Beatle tribute acts in the world. Abbey Road recreates the magic, music, wit and charm of the Beatles, including the Fab Four’s cheeky personalities, familiar onstage banter and patter between songs.The musicians in the band are between 22 – 33 years of age and are age appropriate for the original artists when the Beatles were playing.
“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. Abbey Road headlined Beatles Festival 2010 and headlines Harrah’s Tahoe, Harrah’s Rincon, Pala Casino, the House of Blues, the Coach House and the Canyon Club.
The musicians in Abbey Road also perform in a nationally-touring Beatles musical called “In My Life”, which played to a crowd of more than 1,000 persons at Fresno’s Warnors Theatre in February, 2011. “In My Life” traces the trajectory of The Beatles, seen through the eyes of their manager, Brian Epstein. With multimedia projections, elaborate costume changes and classic Beatles hits, the show conjures the nostalgia of one of the most popular bands in rock’s history and is widely considered by industry insiders to be the most unique Beatles show in decades.
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. Hear the piccolo trumpet solo on Penny Lane and the full orchestration of A Day in the Life. Relive the emotional intensity of Paul’s moving Yesterday solo, as well as the high energy of stadium songs like Twist and Shout and other Beatle hits.

The band is managed by Tom Maher, who was part of the management team for such world class acts Guns N’ Roses, Slash, Blind Melon, Zakk Wylde, Danzig, Leon Russell, John Jorgenson and My Little Funhouse. Maher is still currently in management for Motorhead, Anthrax, Sepultara, Zebrahead, My Vitriol, as well as up and comers Orange, the UK’s Obsessive Compulsive, and Finland’s Icon Crash.
