SUMMARY:Yesterday and Today: An Interactive Beatles Experience
DESCRIPTION:Yesterday and Today: An Interactive Beatles Experience\nEvent Sponsor provided by : Joel & Christina Ongert\, Alpha Custom Apparel & Koehn & Koehn Jewelers \nEvery performance becomes an extraordinary journey as the audience actively shapes the setlist\, ensuring that each show is an unparalleled and tailor-made experience.\nYesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience is the nation’s most innovative and unique show utilizing the works of the Beatles. This amazing band\, anchored by brothers Billy\, Matthew and Ryan McGuigan perform as themselves and leave the song choices completely in the hands of the audience. This is done through request cards that audience members fill out prior to the show. On those cards\, the audience member only needs to fill out three things: their name\, their favorite Beatles song and the reason why they chose that song. The cards are collected and two minutes before the show begins\, a set list is created based upon the songs chosen by that particular audience. As an added treat\, the reasons that the audience members chose those songs make up the narrative of the evening. Every show is different\, every show is interactive\, and every show proves that The Beatles music truly is the soundtrack to our lives. \nTHE MCGUIGAN BROTHERS TRIBUTE TO THEIR DAD  \nStars of Yesterday and Today\, Billy and Matthew McGuigan\, originally from Largo\, FL\, were just 21 and 15 years old in 1996 when their father\, William McGuigan\, passed away\, after a difficult\, but courageous battles with Leukemia. \nBill owned every Beatles album there was…even the obscure ones. However\, as a family\, the McGuigans were quite poor. So\, rather than going out to entertain the young ones\, Bill stayed home with them and shared his love of the Beatles catalogue with his boys. Little did any of them know\, it would turn out to be one of the greatest gifts a father could pass on to his children. \nNow\, almost fifteen years after the passing of their father\, Billy and Matthew\, have united their musical talents\, charms and passion for performing to create the ultimate living tribute to the greatest man they’ve ever known. They now tour the country with the show\, “Yesterday & Today”\, which is a unique audience interactive concert experience\, born out of the idea that everyone\, like themselves\, has a story or particular memory attached to the legendary music of The Beatles. \nWhat the McGuigan boys have overwhelmingly found\, since debuting the show in 2007\, is that not only do people have a story to tell\, but they are absolutely ready and willing to tell that story when being able to tie it to their favorite Beatles song. On some level\, it goes beyond sheer entertainment\, and perhaps becomes a hint of music therapy. \nEvery night the songs change\, the faces change and the stories change. But one element always remains the same between the McGuigans and their fans. A mutual respect for why they are there. Whether it’s for the sheer love of the music\, or to have a personal connection with it\, either way\, the McGuigan boys get to do what they love most – honoring the memory of their greatest hero\, and the priceless gift he gave them so many years ago. \nDoors\, bar & concessions open at 6:30pm\, show begins at approximately 7:30pm \nHundreds of FREE parking spots and great restaurants lining Main Street and surrounding area! We’ll see you soon!\n

SUMMARY:Trippin Billies – The Dave Matthews Tribute Band - Jan 2
DESCRIPTION:Born in the pubs on the north side of Chicago\, Trippin’ Billies took to the “stages” of small rooms in the mid-nineties as an acoustic duo. It wasn’t long before lines grew too long for the small bars and calls started coming in from around the Midwest. As a result\, the band was forced to rise to the occasion\, and for over twenty years… they’ve done just that. \nTrippin’ Billies is comprised of some of Chicago’s absolute best musicians. They go far above and beyond the call of the average tribute band. Each band member’s love and respect for DMB\, their impact\, and for high-energy performance has moved them above the “bar band” circuit and into full-blown concert settings. Whether it’s a club in Iowa City\, a hockey arena in North Dakota\, or a summer festival in Rochester\, New York or Lincoln\, Nebraska\, this band puts on a show that even a casual or non-fan of DMB can revel in. \nThe TBs tour schedule has come to resemble that of the Dave Matthews Band before their ascension to arena tours. Midsize venues sell out consistently across the country\, and the famous theatres whose names were once inked on the cover of DMB bootlegs listened to by the band now comprise the tour schedule of Trippin’ Billies. The theatres they once approached with awe have now come to feel like home. \nTrippin’ Billies is grateful to the fans\, intuitive agents\, and to Dave himself for helping to draw attention to their efforts in national publications. Hopefully they’ll see you out on the road. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.
