Booming Bass Drums

American english was amazing! Would love for them to perform again at BBQ for the Brave!!
One of the better Beatle look-alike/sound-alike bands. Some physical resemblance. Instrumentation quite good and for the most part, vocals (including harmonies) were spot on.
We always enjoy their performance, we recommend this group to any Beatle fan! Took 12-13 year olds this time and they loved it!
Between their costumes, mannerisms and outstanding musical talents, American English is a must see for any lover of Beatles music. Each band member brought incredible talent to the group. It was incredibly entertaining and I would definitely go to see them perform again!!
American English is a great band. I only wish now that I moved to AZ I could see them here locally instead of driving to Cerritos, CA or Albuquerque, NM. I should be so lucky. I miss all the great shows when I was in IL and went to see them constantly. Never tired of them and just love their band. I think they sound AS GOOD AS the Beatles. I truly do. I do not know why anyone would write them a bad review they are wonderful. Totally worth your time. I never went away disappointed.
THE ELVIS IMPERSONATOR WAS GREAT,WOULD GO SEE BRANDON BENNETT AGAIN,UNFORTUNATELY AMERICAN ENGLISH DISAPPOINTED US. THIS BEING THE 4TH TIME SEEING THEM PREFORM, EITHER THEY CHANGED PERSONNEL OR ELVIS WAS JUST SO GOOD IT MADE THEM LOOK BAD. CANT IMAGINE BEATLES GOING ON STAGE WITHOUT SINGING "HEY JUDE" LOOSE THE SARGENT PEPPER CRAP! AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE THE CURTAIN CALL THAT AUDIENCE REQUESTED.(I DONT KNOW WHY)
American English is worn out. They only did 2 of their 3 usual sets and cheated the audience out of the best songs. The "Paul" seemed too tired to put any energy into his part and was just dialing it in. He even was checking his watch towards the end! So sorry the audience bored him! Should not have had to pay full price for 2/3 concert.
Brandon Bennett did a GREAT job performing Elvis's songs, and his backup group was outstanding. There were times when we thought we were watching the real Elvis. As for the American English, they were very good also, but their performance time on stage seemed short.
Went to this show at the Genesee Theater in Waukegan Il. My wife and I are huge Beatles fans and got 3rd row seats. We've seen American English before and always enjoyed them...but at this show, the opening act was definitely the big star. I had never seen Brandon Bennett before but we were blown away by his performance. He really put on a stage show. Something lacking from American English. All the music and vocals from both acts were spot on but Brandon was much more entertaining. He should be the headliner in this combo.
American English was very good. But what was not good was that they only played for an hour. I was disappointed because I can see them in the summer for free and get a longer show that what was at the Genesee. I know this probably isn't American English's fault but I was still disappointed.
American English was ok, but they should have played longer and there should have been an encore. (they normally give an encore when I have seen them) Brandon Bennett was wonderful as Elvis.... he deserves his own show!
Both acts were very entertaining, faithfully reproducing the music, costumes and settings. I was very disappointed that American English was only allowed to play half of their show that we had seen this summer for free. Given the price of the tickets I had expected to see the entire show. I will go see them again but I doubt I would go back to this venue, whoever scheduled this really shortchanged most of the audience who paid to see the Beatles tribute and got a longer set from the Elvis tribute.
American English was especilly good. Brandon Bennett's portrail of Elvis was exceptional. His voice, and manorisims were perfect. I would definately recommend this show.
The show was very good but I wish they had a backdrop. The presentation needed work. Just a little boring. The guys however, were very talented.
The sounds and attention to detail was amazing. My friend and I took 4 of our married children with us (one of which is a Beatles crazed young man) and they totally enjoyed it as well. I can't wait to see them again. Great show!!
Was a good venue to listen, acoustics may not have been the best, location and parking was good
Outstanding. Hope to see them again soon. Had a great time. Dear Prudence was a wonderful.
Wasnt sure what to expect from this but I left feeling as if I had been at a Beatles concert. I highly recommend this show to anybody even if you arent a Beatles fan. Looking forward to seeing them again and again. Great time!!
Wow. I've never seen them before, nor heard of them before. I was expecting a band that does the early songs. I didn't expect them to do & dress and change their appearance for each stage of the Beatles progression. Wonderful !
