The world-renowned Beatles tribute group, Apple Jam, has been given a ‘Beatles Night’ residency at Seattle's Last Supper Club every Tuesday in September.

Beginning September 7, Seattle's Apple Jam will take the stage at 9 p.m., drawing from the entire Beatles and solo years catalogue, including favorites, deep cuts, rarities, and never released tracks. Show nights will be September 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th. Advance ticket purchase is recommended. Tickets are only $8. Click here
or call 1-800-838-3006.

Producer Steve Roseta wrote, "Weekly performances will allow the Apple Jam a refreshingly casual and fun element of freedom with its audience and material, with surprise guest artists, audience requests, and even some non-Beatles music that is Beatles related." 

In a phone interview yesterday, Roseta said that the success of their first CD, "Off The Beatle Track" has prompted Apple Jam to begin work on a new album that focuses on the completion of some of the Beatles' later but unfinished works. Apple Jam strives to discover what songs may have developed had these tracks been eventually completed. Steve added, "Audience members attending all four Tuesday shows in September will witness Apple Jam develop some material for its next album project, live on stage."

Apple Jam will also perform songs from their debut CD titled "Off the Beatle Track" (15 songs composed by the Beatles but released by other artists). They have embodied each track with an authentic Beatles sound, as if the Liverpool lads had released these songs themselves during 1963.

Apple Jam performed at Liverpool's Beatle Week in 2009, with Alan White (drummer for Yes, John Lennon, and George Harrison.) 

About Apple Jam

Apple Jam masterfully recreates the authentic sound of the Beatles while staying true to their own remarkable stage persona. Apple Jam has sold out shows at major venues in Seattle, and most recently headlined Beatle Week 2009 in Liverpool (300,000 attendees annually). Member musicians are: Rick Lovrovich (bass), Jon Bolton (drums), Mike Mattingly (guitar), Johnny Jones (keyboards) and Kurtis Dengler (guitar). Apple Jam was formed in 2005, in support of "(Just Like) Starting Over", a stage play based on John Lennon's final interview.
