In the words of Peter Sprague,

“I grew up with the music of The Beatles filling our household airwaves. Heck, most of us probably did. These songs hold so much meaning for me. Every album that came out was an historic event and each album brings back wonderful memories of growing up and having a rocking soundtrack for that era of my life. It’s such a thrill to return to their music and dress the songs up with my jazz and Brazilian influences and experience their brilliance in a new way. This concert is going to be a fun time for us.”

The band includes vocalists Kevyn Lettau and Mike Falker, saxophonist Tripp Sprague, John Opferkuch on keyboards, bassist Gunnar Biggs, drummer Duncan Moore and Peter Sprague on guitar.

Tickets are $25; $20 for Museum members and can be purchased by calling 760-438-5996 or order tickets online.

This special musical event is not to be missed!
