Beatles Tribute, 'The Return,' To Play Loganville

LOGANVILLE, GA -- A little bit of Beatlemania is coming to Loganville.

The Return, an Atlanta-based Beatles tribute band, is slated to play Friday as part of the city's Groovin' on the Green series.

The show is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Ray Nunley Pavilion on Covington Street in Loganville.

Founded in 1995, The Return started as four friends getting together to play their favorite Beatles songs for the fun of it.

They began playing in public and soon found themselves booked for gigs regularly under their original name, The Roaches.

They began polishing up their act, focusing on the early '60s Beatles concert experience, not just in sound but in appearance as well.

They use exact replicas of the instruments and gear the Beatles used during that time period, in addition to cultivate the group's early '60s look in terms of wardrobe and hairstyles.

They have now played thousands of shows, including performances at Hard Rock Cafe's 30th anniversary celebration and Abbey Road Studios in London.

The Return were named the Atlanta Braves' 2009 Band of the Year for their performances at Turner Field.
