Walk Down Abbey Road - A Tribute To The Beatles is being presented by Paul Zukoski, the man responsible for bringing the popular B.B. King Blues Festivals to venues across the country for the last 11 years. Zukoski told LAUNCH what fans can expect from the show: "We've got Alan Parsons, Ann Wilson, John Entwistle, and Todd Rundgren. They'll be performing their own hits for the first half of the show, and the second half of the show will be nothing but Beatles songs, which all of the artists that I just mentioned will be collaborating and picking the songs that best fit not only their playing style, but their vocal style. Alan will be instrumental in picking all the songs." Zukoski told LAUNCH it was Parsons who brought the idea for the Beatles tribute show to him: "The name of the tour is Walk Down Abbey Road - A Tribute To The Beatles. It originated from Alan Parsons. Alan Parsons was a producer of...actually, he was an engineer at Abbey Road for years, and he also produced several of the Beatles albums and a lot of the Paul McCartney and Wings albums." Artist rehearsals for Walk Down Abbey Road - A Tribute To The Beatles begin the first week of June. A full list of tour dates and venues is not yet available, but Zukoski said the tour will kick off on June 15 in California and continue for a four- or five-week initial run.  ~Matt/Froy from Jersey Official Protector of Gay Marco & SwampJunk...if he ever decides to post. | ||||
