I have seen many Beatles tribute bands and American English is by far my favorite. Each member is a strong singer and proficient instrumentalist, but they also all mesh well with one another into a seamless whole. Their backing vocals, which are one of the trademarks of the Beatles’ music, are impeccable and their attention to detail is second to none. I also enjoy the fact that they play not only the Beatles hits, but also some of their less well-known material; their repertoire is vast and varied, such that each time you see them, the show has a slightly different character, which keeps the audience interested and the band itself fresh.
I attended their shows at the Casino Queen on Thursday 10/29 and Friday 10/30 and thought they were terrific. The song selection was adventurous on Thursday, a little more hits-oriented on Friday, but they played several songs each night that might intimidate a less talented band and all were executed perfectly. Their energy level was crackling and they exuded a sense of fun, which spread out to the appreciative, sold-out audience, who were singing and dancing along. They navigated their way through the songs of the Beatles early period, their psychedelic era and their later years with equal ease. I would highly recommend this band to anyone who enjoys the music of the Beatles. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
