After a two-year hiatus, Beat-Lele, the Oahu-based Beatles tribute band, returned to the Big Island for two performances at the Kahilu Theatre with shows on December 2-3.

Beat-Lele’s humble beginnings date back ten years ago when they were performing as Day in The Life at Minato’s restaurant in Honolulu. They performed without costumes or mop-top wigs, and their focus was strictly on getting the music to sound like the original records.

In 2017, the band transitioned from electric guitars and a drum kit to an acoustic ukulele sound with an island twist. Beat-Lele remains the only Beatles tribute band within this niche.
