"1964" focuses on the quintessential moment in history, when The Beatles actually played before a LIVE audience.
The Beatles toured the world in the early 1960s, but now only a precious few remain who actually saw them LIVE, who actually felt the "mania" that brought them to world acclaim. Today, all that remains are a few scant memories and some captured images in pictures and on poor quality film and video.
"1964" meticulously re-creates the "MAGIC" of those LIVE Beatles' performances with artful precision and unerring accuracy. For those that never saw The Beatles LIVE and always wanted to know what it must have been like...this is as close as anyone could possibly get to...FEELING the MAGIC!
For over 40 years, "1964" has thrilled audiences with what is considered to be the most authentic and endearing tribute to The Beatles. This has been accomplished by a steady and consistent cast of talented professional musicians, who painstakingly recreate the look, feel and note for note sound of an actual LIVE Beatles performance.
Join Mark Benson (John Lennon), Mac Ruffing (Paul McCartney), Tom Work (George Harrison) and Bobby Potter (Ringo Starr) as they take you back to “1964.”

Individually, JD Simo and Luther Dickinson are building their own legacies as solo artists, sidemen, songwriters, and guitar heroes. Together, they’re a creative force to be reckoned with, making their own version of amplified American roots music. The musicians trade blistering guitar solos, take turns at the microphone, and turn their classic influences – including hill country blues, spirituals, swamp rock, and Afrobeat – into something contemporary, reinterpreting a number of their old-school favorites into eclectic, electrifying anthems.
The partnership began onstage, where Simo and Dickinson first shared the spotlight as touring members of Phil Lesh and Friends. Dickinson had already established himself as co-founder of the Grammy-winning duo North Mississippi Allstars, as well as a celebrated guitarist for acts like Black Crowes and John Hiatt. Similarly, JD Simo had built an audience no only with his solo project, but also as a session musician for Jack White, Beyonce, Chris Isaak, and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis movie. Occupying the same stage felt different, though. “Playing with Luther immediately felt as easy as water flowing down a river,” Simo remembers. “We had all the same influences but we played nothing alike. Our styles just fit together. We didn’t have to think about it – it was just instinctual.”

When three musical titans collide, expect fireworks. That's exactly what happens with Tu-Ner, a progressive rock supergroup that's anything but conventional. This trio unites Trey Gunn's ethereal Warr guitar, Pat Mastelotto's genre-bending percussion, and Markus Reuter's revolutionary touch guitar into something entirely new.
If you've lost yourself in a King Crimson album, you'll recognize Gunn and Mastelotto's sonic fingerprints. Gunn, who's woven his distinctive textures through collaborations with John Paul Jones and David Sylvian, brings that same boundary-pushing spirit to Tu-Ner. Mastelotto's hybrid acoustic-electronic drumming - which drove both King Crimson's experimental journeys and Mr. Mister and XTC's chart success - lays the foundation for the group's sonic adventures.
Completing the triangle is Markus Reuter, whose custom-designed touch guitar creates vast musical landscapes that defy categorization. Think of him as an architect of sound, crafting expansive environments where his bandmates can explore and experiment.
Live, Tu-Ner is less concert, more expedition into uncharted territory. The trio's improvisational chemistry transforms each performance into a unique journey, showcasing not just individual mastery but the telepathic interplay that comes from musicians at the peak of their craft.
Don't expect the familiar. Tu-Ner offers something rarer: a genuine adventure that pushes progressive rock into bold new territory.

Born in Seattle and raised in the Olympia area, Ted Vigil began performing at just ten years old, honing his craft in school concert, symphonic, and jazz bands as both a drummer and vocalist. That early foundation built the dynamic stage presence he’s now known for.
His talent quickly gained national attention. In 2006, Ted captured first place at Talent Quest in Laughlin, Nevada—competing against performers from 28 states as well as New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. He followed that victory by winning KOMO TV 4’s NW Afternoon Celebrity Look-Alike contest and was invited to perform twice for John Denver’s Windstar Foundation in Aspen, Colorado.
Ted’s career has taken him around the world. In 2012, he was honored with the Rising Legend Award by the National Traditional Country Music Association, recognizing his growing impact in the world of live performance and tribute artistry. His artistry reached another level through collaboration with Steve Weisberg, John Denver’s lead guitarist from 2010 to 2014. Weisberg praised Ted’s uncanny resemblance to Denver, noting, “A very strong physical resemblance… Uncanny!”—a testament to the authenticity Ted brings to every performance.
In 2016, Ted joined the prestigious “Kings of Country” tour in Australia, starring tribute artists for Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and John Denver, performing across 20 cities nationwide. Since then, he has continued to tour internationally, headlining theatres and captivating sold-out audiences across the United States.
More than a tribute artist, Ted delivers an immersive live experience—bringing legendary music to life with heart, precision, and a stage presence that leaves audiences feeling like they’ve witnessed the real thing.
