BAND DETAIL: The Return
The captivating, fun, exciting spirit that came to be known as "Beatlemania" is alive again in the Return-the world's most authentic and entertaining Beatles tribute band. These four lads, all in their early to mid-twenties, have carefully and skillfully recreated the Beatles experience by not only performing all the great songs of the original four, but also by sporting the same suits, boots, mop-tops, musical instruments, and gear. The Return make it possible for music fans from every generation to experience the same thrilling rush felt by fans who were fortunate enough to attend an actual Beatles concert in the early sixties.
"I saw The Return not long ago at one of
the Beatle-fest conventions, and they
were great! They really got the crowd
going. Their energy and enthusiasm
jumps off the stage. It was quite fun to
watch them and imagine what it must
have been like at an actual Beatles
concert all those years ago!"
Tony Perkins - Good Morning America
The Return certainly have a passion for music and will always enjoy playing the songs of the "Fab Four."However, what makes them unique among the hundreds of Beatles tribute bands today is their unwavering dedication to ensuring the utmost level of authenticity in their performances. And so, it is not surprising that people are consistently dazzled by their close likeness to the originals. Same energy. Same charisma. Same feeling.
"There are moments when it's hard to believe
you're not watching the Beatles!"

As the most authentic Beatles tribute band in the world, the Return performs a song list packed with all the fun and lively tunes the Beatles played while touring. From the Cavern Club days in their hometown of Liverpool, to their last concert performance together at Candlestick Park in 1966-the Return concert is more than reminiscent of a Beatles concert, it's as close to the real thing as you can get.
The Return was invited to appear on Good Morning America!
Considered talented enough to perform in front of a national audience, THE RETURN caught the eye of Good Morning America's weatherman, Tony Perkins, as well as executives for the morning show. Since then, this amazing group of four young musicians has continued to excite crowds all over the country, growing substantially in popularity.
Part of what makes a RETURN show so enthralling is the way in which they have so meticulously recreated the complete Beatle image on stage. The boys feature authentic vintage instruments, haircuts, and custom made clothes and boots. Their unmistakable Liverpool accents and Beatlesque antics truly bring out the charming, charismatic personas of the original four lads we all adore. In being true to the original Fab Four, THE RETURN derives their song list from a specific part of the Beatles catalog, primarily performing material that the Beatles played in live concert settings. This long and wonderful list of songs spans material from the early cover songs they played at Liverpool's Cavern Club, to Lennon-McCartney numbers performed on the last Beatles tour of America in 1966.
Their touring takes them to festivals, college campuses, corporate events, benefits and private functions from Georgia to California and New York to Florida. No matter where the band travels, people always enjoy THE RETURN because people everywhere still (and probably always will) love the Beatles. A few of THE RETURN'S performance credits include The Fox 97 Ultimate Oldies Concert in Atlanta, GA (two years in a row), The 94.1 Oldies Fest in Salt Lake City, Abbey Road on the River, Peachtree Road Race, First Night Athens, First Night Atlanta, Lenox Square's Star Spangled Night, Peachtree Morning TV Show, Good Day Atlanta TV show, 1996 & 1997 Atlanta Fab Four Fests, Malco Theater in Hot Springs AR, Columbia, SC Mayfest, CNN, Fox 97 Radio Morning Show & Afternoon Love Fest, Campus Live TV show, New Orleans Casinos, as well as hundreds of other private and corporate events (Coca-Cola, Turner Broadcasting, Georgia Pacific, AFLAC to name a few) and several cruises (Carnival and Royal Caribbean). THE RETURN has shared the stage with many legendary performers - Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Monkees, Peter Noone, Chubby Checker, Tommy James, B.J. Thomas, The Association, Johnny Rivers (and many more!!) THE RETURN is also particularly popular at college campuses, where fraternities, sororities, and student activity organizations line up to book them.
The Hard Rock Cafe was so impressed with the Return that they invited them to be the official tour band for their 30th anniversary celebration in the Spring of 2001. THE RETURN, along with the Magical Mystery Tour Bus, traveled up the east coast performing Beatle hits for music lovers in Orlando, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. A good time was had by all!!
