If you can remember the first time that you heard the Beatles,
you're probably aware of the impact their recordings had on the
world. Since relatively few people were able to see them play
live, the idea of a tribute to them has always been a popular one.
Now, there is an act that combines the sound,
harmony and power of those great recordings along with the energy
of the Beatles live performances, but without the wigs and the schtick ...
Based in Milwaukee, Apple Core is the brainchild of Tom
& Scott McGowan. Along with childhood friend Billy Nice, they
sought to stage a band that could do justice to the sounds of the
original Beatle recordings; and they did just that. Apple Core
was one of the premier bands in Wisconsin in the mid- 90's, playing
most of the state's major venues and festivals. After a five-year
hiatus, and with the addition of Mick Steiner and Ron White,
"The Core" is back and starting to regain the
enthusiastic following that they enjoyed in the past, playing Milwaukee's Summerfest, Beatlefest in Chicago and the world's largest Beatles tribute festival, Abbey Road on the River, in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Apple Core show is a musical
tour through the history of Rock 'n Roll by incorporating early
Beatle rockers, later music from the Beatles studio period and
various other favorites from the era. Audiences have come to
expect the unexpected; as music from such diverse sources as
Hendrix, Cream, The Who and others fill each performance with
dancing, laughs and music that keeps a crowd demanding more. |
