Paul Curatolo News

Their 2023/2024 season opens on October 28, 2023, with A Beatles Celebration featuring the Classical Mystery Tour band who will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the first Beatles U.S. tour in 1964 as well as the Beatlemania they inspired. I spoke with the group's president Kelly Ruggirello about the upcoming season.

RAIN turned The Music Center at Strathmore into a time machine and took Beatles fans of all ages on a magical musical tour.

I was over the moon to be able to interview Paul Curatolo, the man who plays Paul McCartney in Rain, a tribute to the Abbey Road/Rooftop concert days of the Beatles. The show sits down in Wichita one night only, Monday, April 18th, 2022, at 7:30pm at the Century II Concert Hall.

State Theatre New Jersey presents RAIN – A Tribute to the Beatles performing The Best of Abbey Road on Friday, March 11, 2022 at 8pm.

Concertgoers can relive one of the most iconic albums in rock history as Classical Mystery Tour performs Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, January 26 at 3 pm at NJPAC in Newark.

Audiences will 'twist and shout' as 'RAIN: A Tribute to the Beatles' hits the Hawaii Theatre Center May 31 to June 2, 2019.

Their final concert tour of the Beatles was in 1966, long before the release of classic albums such as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "The White Album" and "Abbey Road." "The next best thing to seeing the Beatles" (Associated Press), RAIN has been celebrating the Beatles note for note since the 1990s, and have performed for nearly 2 million people worldwide. The Harris Center welcomes them back with a new show: a tribute to "Abbey Road"-nearly 50 years after the album's release - plus an exceptional selection of Beatle favorites across their fabled career.

Fifty years ago, The Beatles changed the face of pop music when they released the iconic Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Billed by many as the first concept album, it marked a shift in focus to the recording studio from the live performance arena, as the frustrated band simply wanted their music to be heard. This, of course, meant that they would never perform these songs live - something that Rain have decided to put right.

Dankjewel, a Reno-based band of friends who local publications have already labeled as a regional supergroup, are ready to make a splash in their fresh career with the upcoming music video for their first single, Vincent Vega.

It's the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' groundbreaking Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, and that's a cause for a POPS musical celebration!

RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, a total of 36 songs on the night I attended. It's quite a treat going from The Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show through 'Let it Be' and 'Hey Jude,' two of the last songs the group recorded together, with each album time shift accompanied by costume and physical appearance changes by the group as well as many historical films/videos reflecting what was going on in the world at the time, from Vietnam to protests at home, their meditation trip to India, and the overall madness of screaming fans at Shea Stadium on 8-15-65.

RAIN: A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES ON BROADWAY will appear in Riverside at Fox PACE at 7:30 p.m. on March 25th and March 26th, 2015. The members of the band Rain have studied the Beatles for twenty years and tour in concert, playing only Beatles music, and emulating the Beatles' style, key, rhythm, and harmonies, note for note. Rain has a repertoire of over 200 Beatle songs that they rotate at their concerts. Some of these pieces are so complex that the Beatles never performed them live, and included them only on their albums, where they could correct mistakes in a recording studio. The members of Rain do everything possible to replicate the look of their particular Beatle, even, for righties portraying Paul McCartney, learning to play the bass and guitar left-handed.

It would be hard to argue that any musical group in the last century has had a more lasting impact than the Beatles. They are one of the most instantly recognizable and well-known bands in music history and have many of the most instantly recognizable and beloved songs in contemporary music. Those songs are still as popular and poweful today as they were when audiences first cheered and swooned for the band in the 1960s. Since then, there have been many tributes to the Beatles, including the smash hit Rain - A Musical Tribute To the Beatles. Now, this multi-media concert event which explores the lives and music of the fabulous foursome is rolling into Providence Performing Arts Center for one night only.

The Segerstom Center is pleased to share that today and tomorrow, April 24 and 25, two cast members from RAIN will be taking over the Center's Twitter account and posting fun behind-the-scenes Tweets while the show is in town.
