Dillon M. is
LA’s 12th Best “George”
Celebrating 1 year of being George!
Southern California is in no short supply of Beatles tribute bands, so what’s the harm of having a new George on the scene?
It’s a tale as old as time; you hear a Beatles song for the first time and suddenly, you’re inspired to pick up a guitar. It’s a beaten path but a storied one, to boot. To go the distance and fully personify the memories of the Beatles in the form of not just playing their songs, but donning costumes, and using their exact instruments, is something only the truly dedicated are willing to do - and I’m willing to do it.
With every hit and deep cut memorized, similar vocal range, tasteful accent mimicry, and carefully practiced mannerisms, how could you possibly go wrong? I look like him from a distance (and I mean a long way away). So what do you say? Let’s celebrate Beatlemania together!
P.S. I’m also down for casual Beatle gigs (no costumes, etc.)
