Two Live Bands:
Boogie on the dance floor with Sgt. Pepper. Rocking and captivating, Sgt. Pepper performs music by the Beatles and other British Invasion artists. Sgt. Pepper's members are well-known L.A.-based musicians and singers who have performed with major recording artists, leading music agencies and/or other bands. They came together to form Sgt. Pepper from a mutual love of Beatles' music. Their timing couldn't have been better. Thanks to the release of Beatles Rock Band and the remastered Beatles catalogue, national interest in Beatles music has surged.
