RAIN A Tribute To The Beatles Comes To Grand Rapids 3/5, 3/6
By: Gabrielle Sierra
The award-winning Beatles concert, RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles, makes its return to Grand Rapids' Devos Performace Hall, 2 shows only, March 5 & 6, 2010. In a show the Denver Post calls "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles," RAIN boasts a repertoire of nearly 200 Beatlemaniac favorites, ranging from such beloved songs as "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" to classic hits including "Revolution" and "Come Together."
RAIN covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience...a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups. For the four longtime band members - Joey Curatolo (Paul McCartney), Joe Bithorn (George Harrison), Ralph Castelli (Ringo Starr) and Steve Landes (John Lennon), with a little help from their friend Mark Lewis (keyboards, percussion) - the music is first and foremost. For more than two decades, RAIN has distinguished itself by focusing on details, always being faithful to The Beatles with the ultimate goal of delivering a perfect note-for-note performance. All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences.Like The Beatles, the onstage members of RAIN are not only supreme musicians, but electrifying performers in their own right.
RAIN is affordably priced from $27.00 - $57.00 and will perform 2 shows at DeVos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids, Friday, March 5th and Saturday, March 6th, 2010. Performance times are Friday at 8pm, and Saturday at 8pm. Tickets are available at DeVos Performance Hall box office located at 303 Monroe Ave, Grand Rapids, MI 49503, and the Broadway Grand Rapids box office located at 122 Lyon Street NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. Tickets may also be obtained by visiting any Ticketmaster outlet location, www.Ticketmaster.com, calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000 or ordering online at www.BroadwayGrandRapids.org. www.raintribute.com
