Show Topic: Beatles Solo Years – John, Paul, George & Ringo Beyond the Fab Four

This Monday, August 17th, 2026, we’re continuing our Beatles journey by exploring what happened after the Fab Four went their separate ways.

Beatles Solo Years celebrates the remarkable individual careers of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, with music from the 1970s and beyond that proved the end of The Beatles was also the beginning of four very different musical stories.

We’ll follow John Lennon from the raw and deeply personal Plastic Ono Band period through his years in New York, with memorable recordings including “Instant Karma!,” “Imagine,” “Jealous Guy,” “(Just Like) Starting Over,” and “Woman.”

We’ll revisit Paul McCartney as he established himself as a solo artist and then formed Wings, producing classics such as “Maybe I’m Amazed,” “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” “Silly Love Songs,” and “Coming Up.”

We’ll also celebrate George Harrison, whose landmark 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass and worldwide hit “My Sweet Lord” established him immediately as a major solo artist.

His extraordinary post-Beatles story would include The Concert for Bangladesh, a prolific recording career, and eventually the Traveling Wilburys alongside Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne.

And we won’t forget Ringo Starr, whose solo career brought us favorites including “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph,” along with decades of recording and live performances.

Joining me once again is multi-instrumentalist Tommy Montalbano, who performs vocals, guitar, and keyboards in the new Beatles tribute production Beyond the Beatles: The Solo Years.

We’ll talk about how the show brings the four individual musical journeys together through iconic hits, deeper album cuts, cinematic visuals, audience interaction, and a full live production.

Mark your calendars as we go beyond The Beatles and rediscover the extraordinary music John, Paul, George, and Ringo created on their own. Don’t miss it!

🎹 Tommy Montalbano

Returning to the show is Tommy Montalbano, a multi-instrumentalist performing vocals, guitar, and keyboards in the new Beatles tribute production Beyond the Beatles: The Solo Years.

Rather than recreating a single period in Beatles history, Beyond the Beatles: The Solo Years explores the extraordinary individual careers of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr after the breakup of The Beatles.

The theatrical music experience brings their four musical journeys together through famous solo hits, deep cuts, cinematic visuals, audience interaction, and the excitement of a full live production.

Tommy will discuss the concept behind the show, the challenge of bringing such a diverse collection of post-Beatles music to the stage, and how the production celebrates the distinctive musical personalities of all four former Beatles while reconnecting their individual stories.
