The Fab Four: The Ultimate Tribute To The Beatles To Headline Peoria Civic Center

Emmy Award-winning Beatles tribute band The Fab Four: The Ultimate Tribute will be bringing their world-class stage show to the Peoria Civic Center at 7:30 pm on Thursday, January 17, 2019. It's a not-to-be-missed show that will surprise, delight, and reignite Beatlemania for loyal Beatle fans throughout Greater Peoria.

For those who haven't heard of them, The Fab Four are a troupe of charismatic performers and multi-talented musicians who offer audiences a highly polished professional stage production spanning all the eras of the Beatles' music -- from their early Ed Sullivan and Shea Stadium days through their Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road eras and beyond. But, they don't simply offer impeccable musicianship, fine acting, and powerful vocals that sound uncannily like the originals. They also spark that Beatles Magic that transports their audiences right back to the 1960s.

According to Fab Four founder and "John Lennon," Ron McNeil, "The music reflects the time and at the same time transcends that time, as well." About the music's lasting appeal, he adds, "The themes are about love and peace, and I think as long as people are looking for love and peace in the world, that music will still be relevant." And it's equally certain that as long as that music remains relevant, The Fab Four will be bringing it to Beatle lovers here, there, and everywhere.

Based in the Los Angeles area, The Fab Four have toured extensively since their founding in 1997 -- performing at hundreds of venues throughout the U.S. and in multiple countries across the globe, including Japan, Malaysia, France, Hong Kong, The United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil -- where they've skillfully recreated the Beatles' music multiple thousands of times, yet always with a new freshness and excitement.

What makes The Fab Four unique among Beatles tribute bands is the not-so-simple fact that the four band members play all their own music live. This is just one more factor that gives their performances an energy and immediacy that backing tracks and sequencers can't. Considering the complexity of the Beatles' later work and the fact that it was never intended to be performed live, what The Fab Four do onstage is phenomenal. Without a "fifth Beatle" anywhere in sight to make their job easier, these four highly accomplished musicians recreate all the sounds of an incredibly diverse catalog of Beatles and post-Beatles tunes 100-percent live and in real time -- and their technical precision, musical artistry, and onstage chemistry make every concert a stunning performance!

The Fab Four are widely known for their dynamic stage presence and their precise attention to detail. These same characteristics have also gained the group many accolades and awards from industry professionals, including an Emmy and four Telly awards for their 2012 PBS special, The Fab Four: The Ultimate Tribute.

As William Pankey has said via AXS.com, "True to the band's description as 'The Ultimate Tribute,' the stage show of The Fab Four moves beyond a traditional concert into the realm of theatrical production." Elaborating further, Pankey explained how: "The costumes are tailored to pinpoint accuracy, the band never misses a beat with their vocals and musicianship, and the group travels through all iterations of The Beatles, faithfully replicating each era of Beatlemania."

Because The Fab Four are based in L.A. and are almost perpetually on tour, Peoria Beatle fans won't want to miss this performance -- one night only -- at Peoria Civic Center, 201 S.W. Jefferson Avenue, Peoria, IL at 7:30 pm on Thursday, January 17, 2019. Tickets are available at https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0700550EEE897CCF while they last.
