Mark Lindsay first found fame as part of Paul Revere and the Raiders. By 1963 Paul Revere & the Raiders, dressed in their Revolutionary war uniforms and Mark with his pony tail, became one of the most popular bands in the country. As Mark's profile was showcased on the cover of many prominent magazines, his popularity as a teen idol was becoming legendary. The band had 14 top 40 hits, including "Just Like Me," "Kicks," "Hungry" and "Indian Reservation." In 1970 he went solo with a pair of top 40 hits "Arizona" and "Silver Bird" as well as three best-selling albums.
The Emmy Award winning Fab Four is elevated far above every other Beatles tribute due to their precise attention to detail. With uncanny, note-for-note live renditions of Beatles' classics such as "Can't Buy Me Love," "Yesterday," "A Day In The Life," "Twist And Shout," "Here Comes The Sun" and "Hey Jude," The Fab Four will make you think you are watching the real thing. Their incredible stage performances include three costume changes representing every era of the Beatles ever-changing career, and this loving tribute to the Beatles has amazed audiences in countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, France, Hong Kong, The United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico and Brazil.
