The Beatles are one of the single most influential bands in the history of music. Anyone can claim to love or hate the Beatles, but everyone knows who they are and what they did. While they may be gone, a new generation of fans still pays homage to these musical masters.

Revolution: A Tribute to the Beatles is a world-famous and incredibly talented Beatles tribute band. Covering the entire span of such a career in one show may sound like a daunting task, but Revolution pulls it off. With great recreations of the concerts, style and attitudes of the Beatles, none will leave disappointed.

Revolution takes their performances very seriously. They change costumes throughout the show to reflect the periods in Beatles history. From their famous performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the Abbey Road Years, Revolution makes this performance a must-see event for any Beatles fan.

"We're so incredibly excited to have Revolution here," Marketing specialist for the Young Auditorium Leslie LaMuro said. "These guys are just plain awesome. They sound like the Beatles, look like the Beatles and act like the Beatles, all the way down to their Liverpool accents and the instruments."

World class musicians covering a world class band may sound a bit hackneyed and over done, but Revolution are show stoppers. They've played everything from festivals of thousands to Hollywood parties to small weddings; and never changing their style or amazing showmanship for any certain performance.

Revolution also has had their fair share of time in the Hollywood limelight. Singer, frontman and John Lennon impersonator Tim Piper has played John Lennon in many TV shows and biographies and is hailed as the next best thing to the man himself.
