THE JUKEBOX
Since its formation in sunny Puerto Rico, 15 years ago, “The Jukebox”, has been paying tribute to The Fab Four and is considered by many as Latin America’s top Beatles tribute band and one of the very best in their field. With successful shows all over the world, including amazing performances at Liverpool’s historical Cavern Club and Casbah Club, as well as Argentina’s Beatleweek and the world famous Abbey Road on the River Beatles Festival, this four musicians from Puerto Rico have proven that Beatles music is an universal language.
Their live shows stand out for their faithful and exact rendering of The Beatles’ music. Their versatility is what makes their shows stand out, by recreating the spirit and the magic of The Beatles through the most important element: the music. An amazing experience complete with the original instruments and amplifiers that The Beatles used, as well as replicas of their famous suits, including the famous Beatle boots! Note for note recreations of the Beatles most loved songs, from their early hits like “I Want To Hold Your Hand” and “Twist and Shout,” hidden gems like “Yes It Is” and “Every Little Thing,” to their last classics like “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude.” Even pre-Beatlemania and solo material, adding more classic tunes to their 200+ songs repertoire. They are indeed, a “Jukebox” of Beatles music, successfully integrating three generations of Beatlefans.
