LAKEPORT >> The Rolling Stones or the Beatles? The question about which band is better has been a spirited debate for half of a century. Of course, there”s no way to answer that question now — unless two of the top tribute bands battle it out on one stage.
That”s precisely what will happen on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. at Soper Reese Theatre, courtesy of nationally touring tribute bands Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash. On stage, the bands alternate mini sets and trade improvised barbs and banter between songs to act out the famous rivalry.
Since 2011, Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash have toured the show. The Lakeport show is part of a 110 city tour across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
All seats are reserved and tickets are $30 plus applicable ticket fees. Tickets may be purchased by phoning (707) 263-0577, online at www.soperreesetheatre.com or at the theatre”s box office.
The Abbey Road band members portrayed the Beatles in an award-winning, nationally touring musical biography of the “Fab Four” called In My Life — A Musical Theatre Tribute to the Beatles. The musical gives the audience a glimpse inside the world of the Beatles from the band”s point of view, as well as hear some of the greatest songs ever written.
Jumping Jack Flash honors the privilege of re-creating a Rolling Stones live performance by delivering what audiences come to see — the theatrics and power of the “Greatest Rock-n-Roll Band In The World” in its” prime. They perform song selections from all periods of The Stones” legendary career.
The greatest care has been given to the smallest details, to insure that song performance, wardrobe, instrumentation, etc., are spot on re-creations of the real thing.
Tickets also available at the theatre Box Office on Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and at The Travel Center, 1265 S. Main, Lakeport, Monday — Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show is appropriate for all ages. The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport.
