The HillBenders present...BeatleGrass!
“Our audience had a great time at The HillBenders present BeatleGrass! show. You could feel the energy in the venue and folks lingered afterward to talk about their favorite songs and moments. Even some diehard Beatle fans said they learned something from the show, and everyone loved the HillBenders' creative, respectful treatment of these beloved songs as well as their bonus original music set!"
-Stacy Chandler, PineCone: The Piedmont Council of Traditional Music (Resident Company at the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh and producer of the festival Raleigh Wide Open.)
From the musical director behind Tommy: A Bluegrass Opry and WHOgrass, BeatleGrass is a bold, artistically credible reimagining of The Beatles' enduring songbook.
Performed by internationally touring quintet The HillBenders, the show transforms classics such as "Twist and Shout" and "Hey Jude" into inventive acoustic and bluegrass-driven arrangements while honoring the melodic strength and emotional core that made these songs endure.
This is not parody. It is a celebration.
No wigs, costumes or fake British accents, just timeless songwriting in an acoustic frame.
The HillBenders' BeatleGrass has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry, and the band has been featured in Billboard and Rolling Stone. The group has also tours extensively in collaboration with Keller Williams on bluegrass mash-up projects, including PettyGrass and GratefulGrass.
