Live Musical Documentary

Becoming The Beatles

Becoming the Beatles is definitely not a tribute act. It’s a show about four boys: one born during an air raid, one who had to reverse the strings on his guitar to make sense of it, one who stayed up late practicing with tears in his eyes, and another who couldn’t read or write until he was eight. It’s also the story of a visionary young producer who was desperate to find his way out of the comedy division at Parlophone Records.

Hear first-hand how their story was affected by heartbreak, the classical greats, two world wars, and oppressed musicians in the Deep South. That same band was turned down by 80% of the English recording market, yet defied the odds to become the most successful musical group in history.

Alberta Comedy Musicians

Lewis & Royal

Lewis & Royal are a comedy folk duo from Alberta whose blend of humour, harmony, and prairie-baked storytelling has entertained audiences for over 25 years. Teaming up in the early ’90s, they created the smash-hit musical CHICKENS before touring the Canadian prairies with their trademark wit and rich harmonies.

From small-town churches and community halls to folk festivals and even the Calgary Saddledome, Lewis & Royal captivate with music that is both heartfelt and hilariously entertaining.

Country Music Band

The Heels

The Heels, a dynamic trio from Canada now living in Nashville and the West Coast of Canada, are making waves in the country music scene with their high-energy shows, three-part harmonies, and good-natured brash.
