Shout / Beatles Group Sought out for its memorable performances, SHOUT! has appeared at several Detroit radio station events, including a fund-raiser organized by WCSX Classic Rock for the victims of summer storms that tore through Hamtramck in 1997. One of the highlights of 1998 was the group's performance at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., where SHOUT! gave two acclaimed performances accompanying a display of artwork from the world's most renowned artists featuring creations with The Fab Four as the theme. The group has even opened for well-known bands like Jefferson Starship, The Lovin' Spoonful, and even Mitch Ryder. SHOUT's triumph at the Beatlefest Battle of the Beatle Bands in Chicago two years in a row provides testament to the group's stimulating reproduction of the famed British rock group. |
