“The best Beatle’s band on the planet!” – Newsweek

“These guys are more than a band, they’re a Broadway show!” – Eric Burdon of  “The Animals”

“American English is the best Beatles act since The Beatles!” – Dick Biondi, legendary rock n’ roll DJ who introduced the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl and Comiskey Park

“They are without doubt the world’s premier Beatles Tribute band, and a great bunch of lads…just like the Beatles were.  It amazes me how each individual member of American English is so like his counterpart in The Beatles. In looks, performance, and personality.”
– Sam Leach, the original promoter of the Beatles, and author of “Birth of the Beatles”

Rain or Shine-if rain, concert moves inside
