The Beatles, one of the world’s most influential groups of musical talent, have been entertaining fans with one of their most celebrated albums, Abbey Road, for over 50 years. While the album was a major hit in 1969, many years later, The Beatles’ music still resonates with artists worldwide.
My parents never introduced me to The Beatles since they grew up loving songs from the late 70’s and 80’s, but still recognized The Beatles as pioneers of their time when it came to exciting the masses. When Abbey Road was first released on iTunes in 2010, I checked out the album since I was not only familiar with the iconic cover featuring the four crossing the street, but also a few select songs.
Upon listening to the celebrated work of art, I was not only entertained, but also intrigued at all that The Beatles have done to influence generations of music. From catchy choruses to immersive instrumentals, the famous foursome have truly become legends of their craft. I was immediately hooked and proceeded to listen to the rest of their albums and appreciate their brilliance. As a fan of multiple genres of music, it is clear that the impact The Beatles have had is massive. My excitement continues with the upcoming show at Miller Auditorium, RAIN – A Tribute to the Beatles: The Best of Abbey Road.
This show brings together the celebrated hits that everyone knows and loves. This performance will transport audiences back in time to when the Fab Four dominated musical culture. In RAIN – A Tribute to the Beatles: The Best of Abbey Road, Steve Landes, Paul Curatolo, Alastar McNeil and Aaron Chiazza embody and master the original foursome down to every detail. Each cast member considers this performance a tribute to the group that proved just how powerful and innovative music can really be.
