Friday, May 21, 2010	We decided to do a twist on the show at the Howell Opera House Acoustic Series. We dressed in Rubber Soul style and performed 15 slower and acoustic style music such as And I Love Here, Yesterday, etc. In set two we put on the suits and did 15 more songs but in normal festival fashion. The people there loved it. Afterwards, some said "I loved the more lively second show". Well you never can tell but we were glad to have done it. They were singing, dancing and treated us like kings. People lined up for pictures with the band afterwards. The Opera House is a beautiful building in Howell that is raising money to someday re-open the real opera house upstairs.

Saturday, May 22, 2010	This day was going to be a tricky one because we had two shows in one day. The first show was our 3rd season in a row at the Rochester Hills Fine Arts Fair. The day was perfect and the people loved the show. We had very young and old dancing around. We performed in the now familiar gazebo. This town has a lot of beautiful people. Following this show we went straight to a private party about 5 miles away. The tear down and set-up was a pain. The event was a law school graduation party. They all loved our Beatles Tribute show! Needless to say, we were tired after performing for 5 hours. Good times!

May 23	The Lake Orion Flower Festival was a hot day! We had some great help from the organizers and there were a lot of people out shopping. Ray (Ringo) brought his own fan...he's a genius. So the rest of us bought fans too. We set up our own two portable tents because we were situated in the middle of downtown. Lake Orion is a great little town. We even posed for pictures with a woman running for the local probate judge. We said that she can use the picture and say that she has the Beatles' vote.

May 29	The Sumpter Township Festival was hot and awesome. A lot fans came up to us after the show asking for autographs, pictures and telephone numbers....yikes. We followed Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley. Those two shows were very cool. The audience loved the evening of impersonators headlined by the Beatles. We performed a tight show.

June 11	Rochester Mills Beer Company- An awesome place with outstanding beer! We got em dancing and it was clear that Rochester Hills has a lot of Beatles fans.

June 12	Kellogs Battle Creek Cereal Festival- We said that when we play it won't rain and that was true. The large crowd was dancing, tapping their toes, snapping their fingers and singing along to the Beatles. The sound was great and the people loved our show. What a neat town. 30 minutes after we finished guess what.....it rained! Thank you Kellogs for sponsoring our show and we hope to see you next year.

June 22-25	22nd- Lake Orion Township- Cool park and cool township. There were many people and most sang along. 23rd- Birmingham- Huge park that had close to a 1000 people in attendance. We had line-ups for pictures and autographs. A lot of children there made it a fun family show. 24th- Grosse Ile- The island is a party place with so many familiar faces since this was our 3rd year in a row there. Everyone stayed and enjoyed the show. Thanks go to Sharkeys restaurant. 25th- South Lyon- A record crowd came out to party with Toppermost and most of them stayed the entire time. We even got a standing ovation. What a great community.

July 1 & 3	Belleville- Belleville was an awesome show with a large crowd. We really got into it because of the enthusiastic audience. We performed with the beautiful lake as the back drop. We are definitely coming back here next year. Westland- This was a major event with an awesome stage and sound crew. Shout out goes to ACME sound. It was a hot day! 90 degrees. The audience was in the shaded tent area but the heat did not slow them down. They sang and danced along. The sun then creeped down below the shade of our stage and bam! We were sweating up a storm but pulled it through. Westland Rocks!

July 8 and 9, 2010	Manchester Fair- It rained lightly but that didn't stop the Beatle loving crowd from putting up their umbrellas and singing along to the Beatles. The boys were fired up and gave one of their best performances. Auburn Hills- A beautiful evening and a lot of people helped make this a repeat visit to Auburn Hills even better than last year. The crowd was all ages and extremely fun. We had a birthday girl come up and join us and people were dancing away. No one left and they cheered us for more. Can't wait to see them next year.

July 15 & 16	July 15th, Novi- We got rained out! However, the show was moved indoors to the beautiful Novi civic center. The 50 or so people that attended all stayed and loved the show. We got them dancing and singing along and it turned out to be a great time in Novi. What a beautiful community. July 16th, Clarkston- Look out...over 1000 people attended the show and this was their biggest show this year. I have never seen so many people get up and dance. Clarkston is a unique and completely awesome community. We still can't believe the amazing response to us. Clarkston is a gem. Thanks Penny.

July 22 & 24	July 24, Milford- The rain stopped just before the show started but the people still came. Hundreds! They are really into the Beatles in Milford. People came on stage and sang with us and audience was really involved. You Rock Milford! Thanks Alan. July 25, Farmington Hills- We played at a subdivision block party and about 100 people came and we had a PARTY! It was nice to see legendary DJ, Steve Kostan, from 94.7 WCSX at the show. Everyone, from young to old, was smiling, singing and even dancing.

July 29 & 31	July 29th- Lincoln Park This Summer Concert Series had us playing in the only band shell in downriver. It was too cool and we had a huge admiring audience.

August 5 & 7	August 5th- Milan Summer Concert Series- What a beautiful park and town. The people of Milan have their act together. It was also their old cars night and they were beautiful. The audience and the vintage car owners were digging the Beatles and it was a party. Thanks go to Ben. August 7th- Rochester Hills Village- The Fine Arts Fair was a business success and we pulled the crowd in the entire time we were there.

This was our 6th performance there and they want us back for two shows next year already. Thanks go to Donna.

August 13	August 13- Saginaw Pride Festival Over 6000 people showed up to party with us. What a rockin' city. I have never seen so many Beatles fans! Every where we looked they were singing, dancing and enjoying our show. Can't wait to do it again next year. Thanks to Jeanne.

August 17 & 20th	Hunter House/Woodward Dream Cruise- The 17th was British Bike Night and what better group to help celebrate this than us as the Beatles. The crowd was awesome and mixed in with the old cars it was a fun show. But the 20th was a wild ride! It was packed with people wanted to see The Beatles and it was that way all night. It was complete with dancing, singing and the awesome community of Birmingham. We look forward to next year. Thanks Susan and Tony!

August 18th	Tom got stuck in brutal traffic and was on the road for 2.5 hours! We thought that we weren't going to be able to do the show. Instead the show started 15 minutes late and the hundreds of people had a blast! Lake Orion is awesome and everyone was singing along! It was very unique. Thanks so much Denise. See you next year.

August 21	Woodward Dream Cruise, Ferndale: Wow! The lads agreed this was the most electric show of the year (although there have been several other close ones). We got over 2000 people screaming at the top of their lungs to mimic the sound of Beatles concert and it was LOUD! The boys were on fire on stage and the audience ate it up. Another interesting point was that there were a number of teenagers that were singing the words to the songs and enjoying the Beatles too. This was an unforgettable show. See you next year in Ferndale and thanks go to Michael.

August 19	St. Mary's Festival, New Baltimore- On a hot summer day we ended our summer season with a party at the great St. Mary's Catholic parish. Young and old enjoyed the Beatles and we had a twisting great time. Thanks Jay.
