\"Meet<\/a>Tonight is the night! The Beaters and I will be rocking Bad Albert’s in Ballard with our unique brand of hard-hitting rock’n’roll’n’rhythm’n’blues music. If you’re in the area, come on down. 5100 Ballard Ave NW, Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n

Tonight we’re lining up all our best Beatles songs for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion. We were all kids back then, and I went to both Seattle Beatles concerts. Pandemonium.<\/p>\n

\"Beatin'<\/a>I’ve been rocking and rolling with The Beaters for 30 years now, and we still know how to generate a little pandemonium of our own. Got things pretty well-honed to a fine edge. We do covers of The Doors, Temptations, Stray Cats, Beatles, and even a few of our own.<\/p>\n
