Beatlemania The Tribute is your ticket to ride through the 60’s…..with vintage musical equipment, impeccable vocals, authentic costumes and brilliant musicianship.
Touring the world over for the last 20 years, Beatlemania recreates the music of the Fab Four, with a song list spanning from the Ed Sullivan Show straight through to the roof top concert from the film Let it Be. With former members from the Broadway show and touring company Beatlemania, this quartet of musicians will bring those four lads from Liverpool to the stage in Keane NY on August 19th.
The cast includes:
As John Lennon,
Lucien Nocelli, who has been touring with Beatlemania for 25 years.
His wit, dead on vocal and stage presence truly brings the Lennon-esque style to the performance. Mr. Arch is also a solo artist in his own right with the release of many popular Classic rocks CD.
Bob Halligan Jr will take the stage as Paul McCartney. This talented singer/song writer has composed many hits with such artists as Cher, Michael Bolton and Kiss, just to name a few. His amazing vocal, piano playing, bass playing and guitar work combined with his charm and sense of humor make the him one if the most sought after McCartneys in the biz for the last 20 years.
James Striffolino will be playing the quiet Beatle, Mr.George Harrison. Though only 30 and joining the group 10 years ago, this talented young lad brings the patented Harrison guitar licks and vocals to the show, as well as a shy, but sparking, stage aura. He has been a successful studio musician since the age of 16.
Finally, we have their fearless leader Joe Nocco as Ringo Starr. Joe has shared the stage with musical royalty such as Denny Laine (Paul McCartney and Wings) Cheap Trick, Chuck Berry, Earl Slick (David Bowie),Steve Augeri (journey), and many many more. He also appeared in the feature film entitled The US Marshal starring Wesley Snipes. The powerful and steady drumming, combined with the lovable picked on Ringo persona, make Mr. Nocco the glue that has held Beatlemania together for the last 25 years.
As Bingo Starr (Ringo’s son…wink wink), we have Joe Nocco’s son Anthony Nocco. Anthony, all of 11 years old, is an integral part of Beatlemania The Tribute. Anthony plays Harmonica, percussion and lead/rhythm guitars.
Many of the “Lad’s” recordings had overdubbed guitars and doubled solos. Anthony helps to add that authentic session sound to the live recording without using prerecorded tracks. It’s great to have Anthony aboard the beatlemania yellow submarine.
If it looks like the band is having fun on stage, then guess what..we are. We love what we do and we love playing together. Come join us and celebrate the music of the greatest band of all time. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
Special thanks to Patti our multimedia tech and Sara our stage manager.
