June 27 2025 6:00 PM 1964 - The Tribute 1964 - The Tribute Penn's Peak Since the early eighties, “1964”…The Tribute has been thrilling audiences around the globe by ta ing them on journey through a quintessential moment in music history that will live forever.
Over twenty years of researching and performing have made “1964” masters of their craft. They are hailed by critics and fans alike as THE most authentic and endearing Beatles tribute….which has earned them the distinction from Rolling Stone magazine as the “Best Beatles Tribute on Earth”.
"1964” recreates an early ‘60s live Beatle concert with period instruments, clothing, hairstyles, and onstage banter with an accuracy that is unmatched.
“1964” is:
Mark Benson as John Lennon
Mac Ruffing as Paul McCartney
Tom Work as George Harrison
Bobby Potter as Ringo Starr
Mark Benson and Gary Grimes (The Original Paul) together with Tom Work and Greg George started “1964”…The Tribute.
Mac Ruffing is actually right handed and learned to play the bass left handed to more accurately portray Paul.
As Mark Benson likes to mention on stage, they thought the Beatles gig would last for only a few lunch time shows, they never thought it would have lasted 20+ years.
Mark is also a guitar luthier and maintains all of the instruments. His 2 Rickenbacker 325s are cu tom made by him and contain customizations to more closely resemble and sound like the original Lennon guitars.
Tom Work can both guitar parts of “And Your Bird Can Sing”….at the SAME TIME!
1964 has played to SOLD OUT shows at Carnegie Hall, and Red Rocks many times.
