RINGO STARR & HIS ALL STARR BAND
SATURDAY AT 8 P.M. — MILLER HIGH LIFE THEATER DOWNTOWN
Ringo Starr – one of two living members of The Beatles – will be on stage with a bunch of talented musicians on Saturday night at the Miller High Life Theater. The legendary singer/songwriter/drummer will bring his peace and love and lots of Beatles songs to sing along to. You’ll also hear hits from his All Starr Band bandmates – including Edgar Winter, from Toto – Warren Ham and Steve Lukather, and Colin Hay from Men At Work. He’s lively, fun and charming and I think you’ll leave the show in a good mood. The concert is nearly sold out!
