Hello Goodbye is the premier musical tribute to The Beatles in Florida. Conceived in 2001, the band has been performing to SRO crowds throughout the state. It features Bryan Hinton on guitars, keyboards, harmonica and the John Lennon vocals, Matt Ziady on bass guitar and the Paul McCartney vocals, John Tillman on lead guitar and the George Harrison vocals and Blair King on drums and all Ringo Starr vocals as well as some John, Paul & George lead vocals.
Self contained and functional, Hello Goodbye is committed to performing the Beatle repertoire accurately, but with a few personal touches added to keep it as fresh and exciting as the originals. The end result is a singular musical tribute presentation unlike any other. Though the band does wear matching black suits and chelsea boots, the visual similarity to the Beatles ends there. A typical show runs chronologically starting with early Beatle material from 1963 and flows through the repertoire to 1970. Another interesting aspect of every Hello Goodbye show is an ever present irreverent humor laced throughout the presentation. This additional jocularity helps differentiate the band from other tributes while still maintaining the memorable wit that the Beatles were known for.
The band has headlined many major festivals and city events in South Florida including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Deerfield Beach, Naples and Fort Myers, among others. The band is also committed to performing charity events where they can and have worked with Habitat for Humanity, Boys and Girls Club of America, World Wildlife Organization and the Red Cross September 11th Fireman's Relief Fund. Hello Goodbye has been featured four times on Miami Fox TV affiliate WSVN TV channel 7 info-tainment show 'Deco Drive' and performed live on a float to over 800,000 people at the 2004 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show which was viewed by a television audience of over 2 million in Florida and on its sister station in Boston as well as taking first place in the Sound Category for the entire parade that year.
