Few bands in music history have as many tribute acts as the Beatles, and even fewer of these bands have Grammy Award-nominated tribute acts. The WannaBeatles staked their claim as one of the most prominent Beatles cover bands with their nomination for Fab Fan Memories – The Beatles Bond, a collection of songs, recollections and stories narrated by George Harrison’s older sister, Louise Harrison. Claiming to “go where no Beatles band has gone before,” The WannaBeatles’ show will deliver not only the Fab Four classics, but also mashups of other ‘60s and ‘70s hits, musical parodies and audience interactions. Bandleader Dennis Scott, himself a two-time Grammy and Emmy award-winning composer and producer, says of The WannaBeatles’ motivation for performing: “Watching fans reliving memories while making new ones—that’s what it’s all about.”
