For 20 years now, Abbey Road LIVE! has toured all over the East and West coasts of the USA, sharing festival stages with diverse acts such as Jefferson Starship and Pat Benatar (as well as original Beatles drummer Pete Best). Here in Athens, the band's special guest musicians have included members of R.E.M., Five Eight, Pylon, Caroline Aiken, and Michael Guthrie, just to name a few. For this celebratory show, Abbey Road LIVE!'s is excited to include live horn players (first time since 2019!) . Additionally, in honor of John Lennon's birthday the band plans to play a few tunes from Lennon's solo career (hopefully with additional surprise special guests!) ------------------------ Initially a tribute to the monumental “Abbey Road” album, Abbey Road LIVE! has expanded its scope to include more than 100 Beatles tunes, from all eras of the Fab Four’s career. The band specializes in complete, start-to-finish album performances of masterpieces such as “Abbey Road”, “Magical Mystery Tour”, “Rubber Soul”, “Revolver” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band”. Abbey Road LIVE! is not your typical Beatle look-alike tribute act; don’t expect mop-top haircuts and vintage Rickenbacker guitars. Rather, this show is about bringing to life some of the more mature and complex Beatles material in a raw & spirited fashion, while remaining true to the original recordings. Combining attention to detail with a creative exuberance, the band always delights its audiences with its diverse repertoire of hits and more obscure favorites. "A splendid time is guaranteed for all"
