The award-winning Beatles concert, RAIN - A Tribute to the Beatles, returns to the Aronoff Center's Procter & Gamble Hall for one night only on Wednesday, October 14 at 8:00 PM. Tickets go on sale Thursday, August 6 at www.CincinnatiArts.ORG, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.

The Public Television Special of RAIN - A Tribute to the Beatles will air on CET, Thursday, August 6 at 8:00 PM. Viewers who contribute $150 will receive two orchestra tickets to the show and a meet-and-greet opportunity with RAIN before the show.

In a show the Denver Post calls "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles," RAIN boasts a repertoire of nearly 200 Beatlemaniac favorites, ranging from such beloved songs as "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" to classic hits including "Revolution" and "Come Together."

RAIN covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late ‘60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience... a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups.

For the four longtime band members - Joey Curatolo (Paul McCartney), Joe Bithorn (George Harrison), Ralph Castelli (Ringo Starr) and Steve Landes (John Lennon), with a little help from their friend Mark Lewis (keyboards, percussion) - the music is first and foremost. For more than two decades, RAIN has distinguished itself by focusing on details, always being faithful to The Beatles with the ultimate goal of delivering a perfect note-for-note performance. All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences.

Like The Beatles, the onstage members of RAIN are not only supreme musicians, but electrifying performers in their own right.
