Chicago’s own award-winning Beatles tribute band American English brings the sound of the Fab Four to The Abbey Pub. Popular at home and abroad, American English has wowed crowds in Japan, Puerto Rico, England and elsewhere, and has shared the stage with the likes of Three Dog Night, The Ides of March, Eric Burdon, The Buckinghams, The Doobie Brothers and Badfinger. This talented group has even performed concerts accompanied by Denny Laine, co-founder of Wings, and the original Wings horn section.  I’ve heard them — they’re good.  Get comp tickets through Goldstar for the March 14th 8 pm performance.
