The Thompson Arts Series continues with a tribute to the Beatles

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Thompson Performing Arts Series continues with a celebration of The Beatles on Wednesday, July 17, beginning at 7 p.m. in Doylestown’s Central Park.

Tribute band Studio Two celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ arrival in America by paying homage to the greatest rock band of all time with a performance of their absolute hits.

Studio Two, a band made up of Berklee College of Music graduates and Beatles fans, met in a “noisy basement” in a town just west of Liverpool (Milford, New Hampshire) to recreate the music of the Fab Four.
