About the event
Newport, Oregon: Oregon Coast Council for the Arts (OCCA) is pleased to present a live concert event celebrating the music of The Beatles. Here Comes the Sun will appear on Friday, April 5th at 7 pm in the state-of-the-art Alice Silverman Theatre at Newport Performing Arts Center.
Featuring extraordinary multi-instrumentalist/vocalists from Broadway, Lincoln Center, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, this special live concert event promises to be a joyful, high-energy tribute to “the fab four.” Not an impersonation act, these masterful, professional musicians come together to convey The Beatles’ mastery of vocal harmony and musicianship — honoring the original musical geniuses while uplifting concertgoers with a fresh, vibrant, and one-of-a-kind live experience. One in which audiences are encouraged to get in on the fun in an exciting party atmosphere.
As the popularity of The Beatles reached epic proportions, they took musical risks that led to a catalog of music like no other. Here Comes the Sun uses live vocals and music to authentically recreate those deeply-layered, sophisticated soundscapes — traveling through The Beatles’ biggest hits, as well as songs appreciated by true aficionados. Performing everything from “She Loves You” to “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” to “Tax Man” to “Let It Be,” this authentic group foregoes the wigs and costumes to focus on what’s most important: the music. As the band says, “We don’t impersonate. We celebrate!”
“I’ve had the pleasure of hearing them live,” said OCCA’s Executive Director Jason Holland, “and, as a Beatles fan, I was blown away! You don’t want to miss this one.”
