Abbey Road – Tribute to the Beatles 2025 Raleigh NC

With their tight harmonies, flawless note for note renditions of Beatles hits, custom–tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to every detail, Abbey Road has honed their show to become one of the most musically and visually satisfying Beatle tribute acts in the world. Abbey Road recreates the magic, music, wit and charm of the Beatles, including the Fab Four’s cheeky personalities, familiar onstage banter and patter between songs. 

“The show delivers!” said the L.A. Times. “If you see one tribute show, see this one – smart and loads of fun,” said the O.C. Register. “This is the ticket for you,” said the Idaho Statesman. Abbey Road headlined Beatles Festival 2010 and Knott’s New Year’s Eve show.

Three costume changes cover the full range of the Beatle experience and beyond, with authentic early black Beatle suits, Sgt. Pepper’s regalia and Abbey Road attire. Hear the piccolo trumpet solo on Penny Lane and the full orchestration of A Day in the Life. Relive the emotional intensity of Paul’s moving Yesterday solo, as well as the high energy of stadium songs like Twist and Shout and other Beatle hits

Willie Watson is a one-of-a-kind singer and showman, a channeler of folk traditions who brings all the folks in his audiences along for the ride. He has spent the last couple decades as a professional musician, releasing albums and touring as a founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show, contributing to projects from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and The Watkins Family, and even making two solo albums. But he calls his latest, self-titled album his debut. Why? Because in a new phase of life and career he’s stepping up with his own original songs, even as he continues to honor the traditional songs and sounds he’s always loved.

Heather McMahan is an actress, stand-up and podcaster (Absolutely Not! with Heather McMahan) whose first special, “Son I Never Had!” (Netflix) debuted in October 2023 at Number 4 and held a top 10 position for 7 days. McMahan went back on the road with “The Comeback Tour,” her second national tour which comes on the heels of her sold-out show at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall. The wildly popular comedian released her new stand-up special, Breadwinner, which premiered on Hulu on October 11. Filmed during two sold-out nights at Atlanta’s historic Fox Theatre, the same venue where McMahan recently wrapped up her massively successful global The Comeback Tour, the special is a hilarious tribute to her Southern roots. 

Described by The Hollywood Reporter as an “auditory David Sedaris for the millennial set,” McMahan is known for her authenticity and broad humor. Named to Variety’s 2022 Comedy Impact Report, Heather was one of the featured female comedians to perform on “Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin: Ladies Night Live” (Netflix) earning Fonda’s admiration, and subsequently, hosting Fonda’s star-studded 85th birthday celebratory fundraiser.
