    ASL-Interpreted "Experience the Beatles with Rain" At Hanover Theatre in Worcester

    Posted Wednesday February 27 2013 at 10:08 pm

    Rain - Tribute to The Beatles

    Hanover Theatre presents ASL-interpreted Experience the Beatles with Rain Sunday, March 3, 2013 at 6:30pm.

    As "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!" (Associated Press), Experience the Beatles with Rain performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.  Together longer than The Beatles, Experience the Beatles with Rain has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance in this multimedia concert, that's as infectious as it is transporting.  From the early hits to later classics "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "Hard Day's Night," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Let It Be, Come Together," "Hey Jude" and more, this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends!

    Music and the Deaf

    Intrigued by our last blog post about a musician who is deaf?  Apparently it's not that uncommon, especially for those familiar with a United Kingdom registered charity founded in 1988 named Music and the Deaf.

    Creator of the world's first sign language hip hop DVD, Signmark (aka Marko Vuoriheimo) has been performing around the world for more than a decade, touring such countries as Japan, the United States, Iceland, Spain, Ethiopia, and Namibia.  Leaping onto the international stage when asked to represent Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006, Signmark became the first deaf person to be signed to a major international recording label.  Strong bass beats with low frequencies help Signmark adapt to rap and hip hop rhythms and vocalist Brandon Bauer joins Signmark on his albums, videos, and performances.
