This is The Goodfellas first year at AROTR and they plan on starting the day by the pool and fill the air with Beatlemania. They have an eclectic set of Beatles tunes that spans their career.
Formed just 3 years ago, Goodfellas quickly pieced together a large array of songs composed by the greatest band of all time and perform throughout the Washington, DC metro area. Their thirst for All Things Beatles is unquenchable! Their beginning was somewhat accidental as it took place on- line........Craigslist of all places! Gary placed an ad to get a rock and roll band together. After a number of phone calls, a few e- mails and a bit of a good vibe, Ray, Mark, Jonny and Frankie joined Gary to jam one afternoon only to find out that every guy in the room was a dyed-in-the-wool Beatles fanatic! Funny how things work out, and it proves once again that you can find anything on the internet!
The Goodfellas, a Beatles tribute band, is the collaboration of Gary Sykes (rhythm Guitar), Ray Futran (Lead Guitar), Mark Loveland (guitars), Frank Murray, (Bass) and Jonny Rock (Drums).
Classic Songs from John and George. From the early days of Beatle Mania through the solo years of Imagine to Brainwashed. Hits and Rareties. (also does Paul songs on request). A versatile performer, indeed.
Scott and Dave perform their "John & Paul Unplugged" (with a touch of George) exclusively at Abbey Road on the River.
Known for their tight harmonies, they are one half of The Elliotts.
High energy, party band performance. Harmonies abound. Fun guaranteed in writing!
Johnny Doughnut- Guitar and vocals Marty Miller- Bass and vocals Ernie Duckwall- Drums Vicki Miller- Vocals
A mix of Beatle's songs, classic rock, soul, and blues, played with an original twist. Along with a mix of original tunes that have a definite Beatle influence.
Paul Moeller - Lead vocals; Rich Oeffinger - Guitar; Ben Schneider - Bass; Mark Book - Drums
A delightful tribute to the best band that ever existed or ever will. Some surprises and other 60's favorite cuts will be included for variety.
Heathen's Halo is a multi-genre trio from Southwest Ohio composed of three multi-instrumentalists. With no fear of song selection, tunes from The Beatles to Bill Monroe, the only sure thing that you’re going to get is great music! Each member plays at least 2-3 instruments and switches often. With Bluegrass instrumentation, great originals and fun crowd interaction it’s bound to be a great ride!
Join the Yellow SubMorons (Rutles Tribute) as we kick off the weekend with an all out bash. Dancing, singing, party favors, games, and MORE!!!
On January 21, 1959 the Rutles story began at 43 Egg Lane, Liverpool, where Ron Nasty and Dirk McQuickly first bumped into each other. Ron invited Dirk to help him stand up. Dirk, merely an ameteur drinker, agreed and on that spot a legend was created, a legend that will last a lunchtime. They were soon to be joined by Stig O'Hara, a guitarist of no fixed hairstyle, but it would be another two years before they found their regular drummer, Barrington Womble, hiding in the van. When they did, they persuaded him to change his name to save time and his haircut to save Brylcreem. He became simply Barry Wom.
The Yellow SubMorons present Morons & Maniacs Parade , Street Festival, Tea Party, Carnivale, & Costume Gala! Ron, Dirk, Stig, Barry, and a cast of thousands including Nicole Nigh, James Hondros, Gary Vacha, Scott Carlson
Back End of Tomorrow is an energetic cover band from Louisville KY/Southern Indiana. Their music runs from the 1960's thru today, from the Beatles & CCR to Country, to modern rock, they play it all. They are blessed with 4 great musicians who back up a killer vocalist (Holly Abbott). Holly recently performed on "American Idol", where he made it all the way to Hollywood for 4 days of intense competition. Her sultry soulful sound is an asset that any band would relish and is a joy to listen to...plus the guys that back her up; Colin Draper-Lead Guitar, Spencer Wise-Rhythm Guitar, Damian Peak-Bass/back up vocals and Ben Burkheart-Drums are solid experienced musicians in their own right. If you are ever in the Louisville area and need a music fix, look this band up, you won't be disappointed.
Scott and Dave perform their "John & Paul Unplugged" (with a touch of George) exclusively at Abbey Road on the River.

All Things Must Pass/ Living In The Material World
GQ performs selected songs from these two classic George albums. Solo with an acoustic guitar, stripped down versions of songs that you won't here anywhere else in the festival.
Dad and Daughter, Stan and Mandie Bullock have performed together and separately as Wonderwall and Never Mind the Bullocks at Abbey Road on the River since 2005. Special guest, this year, includes Marc Diffendal, also an original member of Wonderwall, on bass guitar and third part vocal harmony. This year, Never Mind the Bullocks perform Beatle hits and more obscure gems which are sometime overlooked. You will not want to miss these special shows!
The inaugural AROTR in 2002 was also Mark's debut as "ImagineLennon." Over the course of the past decade, Mark has travelled and performed his stunning one-man show around the world.
Some highlights include a 2-month tour of Japan as well as a featured role in the Indie Canadian film "Let Him Be." A pair of new films are "in the works" for 2012 as well as more performances "across the pond." Pleased to enjoy selections from the Beatles & solo career catalogs, as well as songs from the artists who influenced them. Add some original songs from the "Let Him Be" soundtrack and a splendid time is guaranteed for all. Thank you. You've got a lucky face. The end.

The Twiggenburys formed out of their love for British music (and humor). They cover a wide range of British bands from all eras of rock. From The Beatles, Stones, The Who, and The Kinks, to Mumford & Sons, Muse and The Fratellis. But this weekend, mostly Beatles. The Twiggenburys have a standing gig on the first Friday of every month at The Pub Lexington, where they've built an outstanding following (and an outstanding balance on their bar tab).
Beatles and McCartney favorites, including the ending medley from Side 2 of Abbey Road.
Stig, Sir Richard, Trevor and Harry Twiggenbury are played by Steve Broderson (guitar), James Weeks (bass), Kevin Holm-Hudson (keyboards, guitar) and Tim Patterson (drums). This is the The Twiggenburys' first year debut at Abbey Road on The River. So be nice.
Drew is the Lennon vocalist of The Sun Kings and more recently has created a second band, The Plastic Fauxno Band who presents a 9-piece concert tribute to Lennon's solo career. At AROTR he will perform 'In the Spirit of Lennon', a very special acoustic show celebrating the life and music of John Lennon.
A delightful tribute to the best band that ever existed or ever will. Some surprises and other 60's favorite cuts will be included for variety.

Party And Parade Extravaganza! Excitement builds with dancing, games, party favors, and more until the pool stage can no longer contain all the fun and it is launched upon the ARTOR grounds in the form of a grand parade. Musicians can join the parade band (bring your instrument). Artists can create and bring along costumes, banners, signs, floats, etc. Or just bring yourself and be prepared to party. This year the theme is hats, creativity encouraged.

Rex Van Zant's Dark Horse: A Tribute to George Harrison is a one-man homage to the Quiet Beatle. With equipment and clothing reminiscent of Harrison, the Indianapolis-based Van Zant covers his group and solo work, both classics and lesser-known gems. In addition to previous appearances at Abbey Road on the River, Rex has appeared at the George Harrison Festival in Benton, Ill; All You Need is Love 2 concert in Marion, Ill; and the Harrison on Harrison Street Festival in Oak Park, Ill.
Yep, that’s her real name.
OK, it’s her first and middle name, but one should take fortune where they find it. Those who might find sacrilege in this invocation of a sainted handle can rest assured that it’s in good hands. In this case, a young (born 1992) woman who more than personifies a great and grand American tradition.
Carole King, Janis Ian, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell-if there was a Mount Rushmore of Female singer/songwriters, this would be the likely crew. What made them stand out? A short list would say: Hyper-intelligent lyrics that express complex emotions and situations in ways that anyone could understand, distinctive melodies, and an unforgettable voice.
So what makes Mallory Lennon so special? Hyper-intelligent lyrics that express complex emotions and situations in ways that anyone can understand, distinctive melodies, and an unforgettable voice.
