In 1964 the Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein, predicted to a journalist, “The children of the 21st Century will be listening to the Beatles.” Looks like he was right! How did four simple lads from a seafaring town in northern England become the biggest musical success story of their day? And will that day ever come to a close? (Not if WE have anything to say about it!) Several bay area musicians have been Singing the Beatles for audiences in Pacifica, Berkeley, and YES! in El Cerrito! for decades now. Join Bryan Uhlenbrock, Patti Cobb, Doug Jones, Mike Buczek, and Bruce Herbold to examine just a few of the myriad ways that the Fab Four changed history, as well as the music industry, in this wide-ranging workshop! If you have a copy of “The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook” you’ll probably want to bring it… and if you DON’T have a copy, this workshop may just inspire you to get one!
