Glen Cove Downtown Sounds: Beatles Tribute Strawberry Fields, July 25th

Strawberry Fields, a Beatles tribute band, will take the stage on Friday, July 25th, as part of the Friday night Downtown Sounds concert series, in Glen Cove on Long Island’s historic North Shore Gold Coast.  The series will run every Friday through August 29th.

Strawberry Fields is a look-alike, sound-alike Beatles tribute, dedicated to bringing the audience, as close to a real Beatles concert as you can get. The band features look-alike performers, (handpicked from hundreds who auditioned), who speak in Liverpudlian accents and play on the vintage musical instruments that Beatles fans have come to recognize.

The band will take you on a Magical Mystery Tour beginning with 1964 - complete with mop top hair, black suits and thin ties - and through the Beatles first four albums. Next stop is 1967, featuring the psychedelic era of “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” - with all of the costumes and jackets featured on the album cover. Last musical visit is to a place where hair got longer and music more politically involved, featuring songs from the “White Album,” “Abbey Road,” and “Let It Be.”
