About Us
The first thing you need to know about is that these cats are out of their minds ...well definitely about Beatles music anyway !!! Since the Fab Four landed from across the pond back in 1964, the musicians in have been hopelessly hooked.
have been a lifelong love for each member and it has been a mutual dream to someday perform strictly the music of those legendary lads from Liverpool. And as they live that dream today it has affirmed the truth that they knew all along ...that the music of the Beatles will forever remain timeless and never get old, no matter how many times you travel that long and winding road.
So what sets apart from other Beatles Tribute Bands? Well simply put, is a pure celebration of the amazing songs given to us by John, Paul, George and Ringo. Of course they perform the songs with stunning accuracy of the musical parts and amazing vocal harmonies. But is more than just that; they are the unique personalities of each member passionately playing and singing their parts with such obvious enthusiasm that it pulls every audience they play for along for the melodic joy ride. They make it easy for anyone to check out of the real world for a few hours and go on their own special magical mystery tour. And every song is performed completely live without any pre-recorded tracks or trick technology. is made up of six talented musicians to enable such versatility and accuracy of the material.
Don't expect mop top wigs and Sgt. Pepper's shiny silk colorful outfits. is not a look-a-like show. Hey, it's hard enough to look like yourself everyday, let alone someone else! But if you close your eyes you just might forget that you aren't listening to your old albums by (without the scratchy needle of course)!
performs an incredible variety of songs from each era and album, but not in specific historical order, allowing the audience to be in constant anticipation of the next song ... almost forcing you to either stomp your feet, clap your hands, rock your head side to side or just dance uncontrollably!!
is the superior choice for corporate functions, private parties, fund raising events, nightclubs or any other occasion where you wish to dazzle a crowd full of Fab Four freaks!

THE BAND:
Dave Cintolo (Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Lead Vocals) -first saw on The Ed Sullivan Show at the tender age of 9 and thought all those screaming fans were completely out of their minds . . . or did he? He and his brother and sisters would put on the albums and use broomsticks for guitars. At age 12 got a plastic "Tiger Guitar" for Christmas. At age 14 got his first real guitar and started a band. Several bands and decades later he says he finds himself fortunate enough to have found a few good men with the talent, personality and passion to HELP! fulfill a lifelong dream paying tribute to our all time heroes, .
Robbie Male(Bass, Lead Vocals)-was a mere 6ish when his older sister (lucky #$&%@) somehow scored tickets to see the Fab Four live and couldn't understand what the big deal was . . . then he stole some of her 45s of and played them ...over and over and over! Oh ...now he got it! From that moment on he knew he had to play an instrument (hey the bass only has 4 stings how hard could it be right?). Self taught, his primary bass playing influence is indeed Sir Paul McCartney. When he's not wearing his fingerprints off playing one of his cool basses you'll probably find him on the golf course or chilling out with a glass of red wine blaring tunes loud enough to $%&# the neighbors off!
John Moynihan (Acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards, vocals) -remembers in 1963 his neighbor's parents went to England for the summer and came back with a 45 (not a gun, a record) for his friend "Chucky". It was "Love Me Do" and after hearing it played repeatedly John was hooked! He was already learning piano and after watching the boys on The Ed Sullivan show he joined his first band in 1965 - when he was very young, of course! So hooked was he that he recalls back in 1969 driving around with his buddies in a 1966 Mustang trying to find a location where the radio station that was debuting ABBEY ROAD would have a strong enough signal for them to listen. The rest as they say is history and "the quiet one" as we call him loves to have a good time playing this timeless music.
Marty Salvatore (percussion,harmonica, vocals) -has been around music most of his life. At an early age he picked up on the beats of early rock and roll songs and became addicted. Although he has played drums and percussion for many years now, he is known also for providing the best musical instruments and accessories to all area music freaks for over 25 years as co-owner of "The Salvatore Brothers Great Music Box". He arguably has the most fun in the band with his big bag of percussion toys that he's constantly reaching into to capture the perfect sound when needed.
Artie Testa (drums, vocals), a lifelong maniac , and newest member of the band has been playing and studying the drums more than 40 years. And yet, still the "youngest" member of the band. "Boy these guys are old!" Having played all types of popular music with several bands throughout his musical career, Artie had decided his drumming days were over. Only the lure of his favorite band of all time could convince him to come out of retirement and join a group of fellow musicians in , and re-create those songs he has loved for so long. He credits Ringo Starr as being his greatest drumming influence. "Nobody can play so little and make it sound like so much". Artie currently resides in Westminster with his wife Linda, and their two children Aaron and Rachel.
