Taking only the Beatles seriously, since 2017.

Now in its tenth year, the Shabby Road Orchestra has built a devoted following and a word-of-mouth reputation for head-turning performances of late-period Beatles.

We make lush, engrossing, light-hearted concerts transporting you into the most beloved Beatles music of all time. 

We recreate recordings from the albums Revolver, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Abbey Road, “The Blue Album,” and Let it Be — down to the very smallest details.

Our twelve-player ensemble is made up of some of the best studio engineers and rock players in the Twin Cities, veterans of  bands like the Honeydogs, Greazy Meal, The New Standards, Semisonic and Zeppo.

Our show has moved audiences of all ages to their feet, into song and sometimes to tears following  evocative, true-to-the-original renditions of hallowed Beatle masterpieces such as A Day in the Life, Penny Lane, Let it Be and The End.

No wigs, impersonations, or costumes - nor anything from the “Fab Four” early Beatles catalogue . Just an unforgettable evening of music the Beatles never performed live.  

Every show is different, but all include a wide-ranging mix of the beloved and the unexpected, including the solo work of Paul McCartney, Wings and John Lennon.
