The White Album Live and RubberRevolver performances have received rave reviews in publications far and wide:
“The Beatles are long gone, so we’ll never get to see them play. Enter Beatles cover band The White Album Ensemble. The band has sold out many a performance of their White Album Live show, and now they’re taking on Rubber Soul and Revolver for their next round of concerts. As cover bands go, this one ain’t too shabby – it boasts cellist Barry Phillips, who played 2002’s Concert for George where he accompanied Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton.”

“This wonderful local group is the next best thing to hearing the Beatles perform these albums live (which they never did…)”
