Promoting Brett's Dad's Band, "Liverpool"

FYI...Brett's dad is 'Ringo' in the professional band, LIVERPOOL. They are performing at the KPL District this Friday night at 8 PM. If you are interested in hearing amazing tunes from the Beatles song book, think about going! http://www.liverpoolband.com/

From their website: You are invited on a magical trip back to the beginning where it all began...Liverpool. From the mop-top hair to the authentic costumes and vintage guitars, no expense has been spared to duplicate the Fab Four's dynamic stage look and sound.

Liverpool's performance spans the entire Beatles career from "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!" to Abbey Road. The presentation is powerful and their enthusiasm is contagious.

A Liverpool experience has it all: The Look...The Sound...The Songs!

Super beginning to a great group of jazz musicians! All 10 were present to set calendars and select a group name. The blog calendar will be one communication link for ALL scheduled gigs, location and time, along with emails so everyone can see what's happening this summer. A video of Recordame is attached for sharing with friends. Contacts are being made for a June 15th venue when everyone is free, maybe the only date for a full "10" summer debut. We'll keep you posted. Enjoy the tune!
