NEWS RELEASE: On Saturday, August 3, 2013 thousands of fans will "Come

Open to all ages, this returning family-friendly festival will feature 10
bands, each representing different eras or presentations of Beatles music.
The complete line-up of entertainment has been announced, including
special tributes to John Lennon and George Harrison. Festival-goers will enjoy
acts including "Something;" an acoustic ensemble from New York City; the
"BeatlesTracks Band" from Mass., who Cha Chi Loprete of Boston's WZLX Radio
called "a really great Beatles Tribute Band;" "Guitar Charlie," a guitar
virtuoso who performed at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in a special John
Lennon Memorial concert; "Fools On The Hill," a Connecticut band who played
the first "Danbury Fields Forever" last year; Jeff Slate, who leads the band
"Bird of Paradox" featuring members of Paul McCartney & Wings and John
Lennon's Elephant's Memory;" hard-rocking "Genetic Control," specialists in
psychedelic version of Beatle classics, the "Lennon Legacy Show," a special
and touching tribute to John, "The Mystery Tour" performing latter-day
Beatles songs in full Sgt. Pepper costumes; and "The Hofners," featuring
legendary Mike "Ringo" Streeto on drums, Mark Ehmann ("Hard Night's Day") on
bass
and Dave Pal ("Beatlemania Again") on rhythm, recreating the Ed Sullivan
era with the earliest Beatles classics.
The final band booked for the extravaganza is The Cryers, who have been
performing throughout the U.S. and Canada since 1991. The Cryers have
performed with Denny Laine (Moody Blues, Wings), Terry Sylvester (Hollies),
Ian
Mitchell (Bay City Rollers) and many great rock & roll groups. Sid
Bernstein, the man responsible for bringing the Beatles to America, calls this
band “
Magical!” Cryers' leader Joe Orlando and Belle Liao also co-own the
Monmouth Academy of Musical Arts in New Jersey (_www.monmouthacademy.com_
(http://www.monmouthacademy.com/) ). In keeping with the core philosophy of
giving
back to the global community by teaching and promoting the love of music, a
portion of the band's proceeds goes straight back to the Academy in The
Cryers' campaign of Love, Joy, Peace and Purpose Through Music©.
An entire-day "ticket to ride" admission starts at only $20.00 from
