Now rescheduled on Zoom!
The Beatles are the most influential band in history. In 1964, their breakout moment was on The Ed Sullivan Show, where an estimated 73 million viewers tuned in to see the “Lads from Liverpool” in their first live American television performance. On April 4, 1964, they became the only artists to ever occupy the top five spots of the Billboard Hot 100 chart simultaneously. With landmark albums like Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, they consistently broke musical barriers. They have sold more than one billion records. As a testament to their longevity and popularity, their album titled 1, containing all their #1 hits, was the best-selling album of the 2000s. Their music is timeless and appeals to fans in every generation.
This performance combines live music and lecture to explore, not only the music of The Beatles, but the influence they exerted in every area of the cultural landscape.
The presenter is Fran Hart, founding member of the Beatles Tribute Band 4EverFab.
