KEN
SANDLER
Rhythm Guitar and Vocals
Along with being the
band's rhythm guitarist, Ken is also the founder and leader of the
band. Since 2002 when Ken started working on building a Beatles
tribute band, it has been Ken's vision, leadership, and persistence
that has driven the band forward each year to greater successes.
Ken brings solid vocals to the band along with expert John Lennon
style rhythm guitar, which he has played all his life.
“I
picked up my first guitar at age five and I’ve been playing ever
since. I’ll never forget that night watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in my living room on my family’s
little black and white TV. I could hardly contain my
excitement. The Beatles have had a huge influence on me as a
guitarist and singer. I’ve been playing and singing these
songs most of my life. Since that Ed Sullivan show, I’ve
wanted to be in a band playing Beatles music. Playing in a
Beatles band and re-creating this great music continues to be a
lifelong passion for me.”

VINCE CAVASENO
Vocals, Percussion, Guitar, Harmonica and Keyboards
Along with bringing his own refined vocals to the
band, Vince is
an expert in Beatles vocal harmonies. Vince studies every detail
and nuance of the originals and brings them to life for
BeatleTracks. “I
started singing on the streets in Queens, NY…wherever we could
find a good echo. Beside the doo-wop groups of the ‘50s, my
earliest influences were Elvis and Duane Eddy. When the Beatles arrived
in America, I knew it was a whole new game. I’m sometimes accused
of being a fan of only one group—and that’s not far from
the truth. I’m thrilled to have found a group of like-minded
individuals who cherish and preserve the sound of the Fab Four. Their
melodies and harmonies continue to turn me on and I delight in our
ability to recreate them. I’m always asked the time-worn
question: who’s your favorite Beatle. My answer: they all
are.”

JOE LYNN
Lead Guitar and Vocals
Joe brings an
unmatched excellence to Beatles lead guitar performing George
Harrison’s riffs to a tee.
"The
first time I heard the Beatles sing "Yeah Yeah Yeah" on the radio, I
smashed my piggy bank and took every coin in there to the record store
to buy a Beatles LP. I also quickly got a guitar and spent most of my
high school days playing in bands. After a 30 year career in insurance,
I moved to Boston and turned to making music as my main preoccupation.
Now I work at Berklee College of Music while playing in local bands and
I still have the same passion to play Beatles music as ever."

MARK RISTAINO
Drums and Percusson
Mark Ristaino is a
highly skilled drummer and percussionist. Mark expertly brings
Ringo’s drumming style to BeatleTracks.
"In
the year 1965 on a snowy February night, my sister sat me down in front
of the TV to watch the Ed Sullivan show which guest starred “The
BEATLES.” When I first saw Ringo up on that stage with his Black
Oyster Pearl Ludwig Drum set I said, that’s it, that’s what I want to
be, Ringo and be able to play the drums in a rock and roll band.
Well, that dream came true! At age 40 I was able to purchase the
75th Anniversary Ludwig Fab4 Ringo Black Oyster Pearl Drum Kit and that
same year I met Ken Sandler who has changed my life forever. Ken is the
leader of our Band called “BeatleTracks” and we are having the time of
our lives recreating the Beatles sound. It’s a privilege being in
this band!"

DAVE OWEN
Bass Guitar and Vocals
Dave Owen is an accomplished Beatles bassist and vocalist.
"I
was 12 years old when I bought my first Beatles album, and my whole
world changed. On that day I remember playing “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”
over and over for at least an hour because I knew I was onto something
great. I picked up the bass when I was 13, got into my first band at
16, and have played in many various bands over the years. I’ve played
all types of music over the years, but The Beatles have always been #1
since that day with my first record. I am thrilled to be the bassist in
BeatleTracks."

STEVE BACHER
Keyboards and Vocals
Steve Bacher is BeatleTracks keyboard wizard.
"I’ve
played almost every style of music, from traditional church music to
classical to rock to jazz (sometimes combining them all), but the
Beatles have always been a constant musical presence for me. Their
songwriting and arrangements have lasting appeal and their songs
continue to say something to me years after they were written. What
Dylan did for rock lyrics, the Beatles did for rock music, expanding
its expressive range way beyond rock 'n' roll, bringing ideas from all
cultures and styles - East to West, past and future. Plus, their music
is just so much fun to play. I've always loved the Beatles and am
thrilled to have the chance to keep the music alive for all to share."
