I Started playing Beatle music at age 12 with a neighborhood group called "The Junior Beatles." (see photo in PHOTO GALLERY) I was "Ringo" and played on a real drumset...our "John, Paul & George" played on cardboard guitars we had cut out and colored with crayons to look like the Beatles' guitars. We pantomimed to Beatle records and got paid for it.
I have performed as "John, Paul, George or Ringo" with several NATIONAL TOURING BEATLE SHOWS...Get Back...Forever The Tribute...The Britles...Meet The Beetles
I worked with BEATLEMANIA on Broadway and was to be the Musical Director of the Los Angeles production and the back-up John & Paul. I left the show just before I was to go to LA...but that's another story.
I am a MUSIC TEACHER offering instruction on piano, guitar, bass, and drums. We've got to teach all the little rock n' rollers how to do it right you know.
I also compose and record my own Original Songs, which can be heard on my Original Music/Video Page and are available online (itunes etc.) or get a REAL CD...click "BUY CD" to find out where.
..."GEORGE MARTIN PRESENTS: THE BEATLES"
The One-Man Beatles Tribute Show! I change COSTUMES, WIGS and MAKE-UP to portray each Beatle on stage with their individual MANNERISMS and VOICES. I play all the ORIGINAL BEATLE INSTRUMENTS... Gretsch/Hofner/Rickenbacker/Epiphone Guitars...A FAB Ludwig Drumset...and Piano & Keyboards. The show covers the entire Beatles saga from the EARLY BEATLES to LET IT BE and the SOLO YEARS.
I perform & record 3 of The Beatles' instrument and vocal parts (and Sir George Martin's orchestrations)...Then I PLAY & SING the 4th Beatle part. So, in other words, you get the complete sound of the FAB 4 FROM THE FAB 1. There is AUDIENCE PATICIPATION...helping sing back-up vocals or play percussion instruments like tambourine/maracas/cow bell.
It's all a FUN BEATLES PARTY!
...A Spledid Time Is Guaranteed For All...
Peace & Love,
George Martin
