Timeless tunes
A Tribute to The Beatles
We are big Beatles fans.
Sure, Jeff was six when the band broke up and Dave was more into Lawrence Welk in the 60s, but we recognize greatness when we see it.
Since John, Paul, George and Ringo will never play again in our lifetimes, we have to content ourselves with tribute bands.
And as far as Beatles tribute bands go, there’s none better than “Across the Universe”.
The foursome will play Friday night at 7:30 part of the free concert series at Delray Center for the Arts at Old School Square.
See you there.
