A musical celebration of the music that changed the world! Buffalo Music Hall of Famers Geno McManus, Frank Grizanti, Joe Rozler, and Rob Lynch present The Beatles' sound in a live setting: no costumes, no wigs, no gimmicks.

Experience the music of The Beatles the way it was played by the lads who played it. Formed in 2014, the BlackRock Beatles is not a typical Beatles tribute band and does not try to mimic The Beatles. Instead, the BRB approaches the catalog with the goal of interpreting how The Beatles might have sounded like today in a live setting. The BRB, much like the early Beatles, are at their core a rock 'n' roll band, and much like the band they cover, they have a similar sense of camaraderie, humor, and musical interplay between them.

Ticket are $25 advance - available at Wegmans - and $35 day of show. General admission seating.
