June 19, 2019I have been following Tony Burlingame's music career, since the 80s, and his portrayal of Sir Paul McCartney, will leave you wanting more. His stage presence keeps everyone engaged, throughout the show, while performing, playing all the hits, from The Beatles to Wings! He is the most authentic looking and sounding Paul McCartney tribute out there. The guy is also a natural lefty like Paul. The show spotlights everyone in the band, and there are opportunities for the audience to also get involved. The show is dynamic and exciting, and I recommend it to everyone. The McCartney Project, captures the energy, of Paul McCartney's body of work, perfectly.

June 12, 2019The McCartney Project is a wonderful group of people passionate about their music. They interact with the audience and you can see just how much they love what they do. This is a must see tribute band as their performances never disappoint. Tony is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. You will feel like you watched Paul in concert. This group is the real deal!

June 12, 2019I've seen The McCartney Project several times now and always look forward to them coming to the Cincinnati area every year. The band is dead on, note for note, and Tony Burlingame as Paul McCartney is magical. He looks like Paul, he sounds exactly like Paul, and even plays a left handed Rickenbacker bass.

The McCartney Project is America's #1 live concert tribute to Paul McCartney, Wings and The Beatles. Our show is more than a concert; it’s an "experience"! Emulating what Paul McCartney plays in his recent concerts, we cover more than three decades of music, from the early Beatles through the monster hits of Wings and more. This sets us apart from the many excellent Beatles tribute bands and extends our demographic reach. Tony (our "Paul") plays the left-handed bass, acoustic guitar, piano and ukulele and is backed by the talented McCartney Project Band recreating Sir Paul’s music note-for-note.
Our live concert experience will evoke pleasant memories and create new ones. This is a fun, high-energy, interactive show from the opening song through the closing encore. It is a family-friendly show and a wonderful opportunity to introduce kids or grand-kids to Sir Paul’s unforgettable music. Each show includes a meet-and-greet with Tony and the band immediately after the concert! Be part of the ultimate McCartney experience!
Our theatre show is typically 2 hours with a short intermission. Our set list includes Beatles and Wings hits thereby continually pleasing the die-hard Beatles or Wings fan. The second set normally opens with a short acoustic set. We can tailor our set list to the expected demographics of your attendees (more/less Beatles, more/less up-tempo songs, etc.). Tony does 4-5 minor costume changes throughout the show and plays the bass guitar, acoustic guitar, piano and ukulele. Since these shows typically are attended by passionate fans of Paul McCartney we sometimes perform some deeper cuts that fans appreciate. Tony weaves some storytelling into the show to reveal facts even some die-hard McCartney fans may not know.
Festivals, fairs and summer concerts are typically 90-120 minute shows but we can perform up to a three hour show (with breaks). These shows are typically a bit more up-tempo and do not include an acoustic sit-down set. A meet-and-greet can immediately follow the show, if requested. Technical requirements are similar to theatre shows.
The McCartney Project is America’s #1 Paul McCartney, Wings and Beatles tribute. Our authentic tribute starts with left-handed, sound-alike, look-alike Tony Burlingame as Paul McCartney playing the iconic Hofner violin bass. Tony is backed by the talented McCartney Project Band recreating Sir Paul’s music note-for-note. At our show you can sing along to every song as we recreate the best of The Beatles and the monster hits of Wings. This family-friendly show covers more than three decades of music and is great for all ages.
Technical requirements: we prefer a single 16’ x 8’ platform riser for Tony (keys), Sara (keys) and Phil (drums). We use in-ear monitoring which provides audiences with a much better audio experience than traditional floor monitors that can sometimes be louder than the FOH mix. This allows us to play in any size venue. Finally, we like to project a video backdrop behind the band. Theatre provided projectors and screens deliver the best experience but we can bring our own projector and screen.
We play the best of The Beatles and the monster hits of Wings including: Yesterday, Listen to What the Man Said, Hey Jude, Maybe I'm Amazed, Eight Days A Week, Jet, My Love, When I'm 64, Hard Day's Night, Oh! Darling, Live and Let Die and many more.
The Beatles, Wings, Paul McCartney, Elvis Presley, Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Barrett Strong and Buddy Holly.
We typically bring our own backline, mics, stand, cables etc ... all up to the venue's sound. We use in-ear monitors. No amps or monitor wedges on stage to muddy the mix.
