In a very short time, Sgt. Peppers has become the most in-demand Beatles tribute in the Gulf South. It doesn't hurt that these four amazing musicians have nearly 90 years of combined professional experience, or that each of them brings to the project a collection of unique skills and talents which, like the band they emulate, creates a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Like many Beatle Tributes, Sgt. Peppers plays material covering the Fab Four's entire recording career. Unlike most, however, Sgt Peppers tackles even the most complex arrangements, playing all the parts themselves--live--with unbelievable attention to detail. Though many Beatle bands adopt a "purist" approach when it comes to equipment (not that there's anything wrong with that), the guys in Sgt. Peppers reasoned that the Beatles themselves openly embraced technology, that each successive album used it to expand the palette of sonic possiblities in the studio.

Taking that philosophy as their starting point, Sgt. Peppers utilizes multiple guitar synth and tone-modeling devices, as well as several onstage keyboards (all played by the band), so that each of the four members can perform more than one part at the same time. At any given point, Paul might be simultaneously playing an electric guitar part, an acoustic guitar part, a harp and a French horn, while Walter embellishes his John Lennon rhythm part with a harmonium, Dave plays an intricate McCartney bass line while singing three background lines through a harmony processor, and Nicky--between drum fills--triggers a sound effect while adding a high, falsetto harmony.

And yet, somehow, they make it all look easy. More importantly, they make it look fun. Sgt Peppers approaches each show with the infectious joy and boundless energy that made the Beatles famous. As the song says, “Who could ask for more?"
