The Mersey Beatles, the world’s only all-Liverpool-born Beatles tribute band, will be joined by John Lennon’s sister during their visit to the Lerner Theatre on Friday, April 24.

Julia Baird will sign copies of her book, “Imagine This: Growing Up with My Brother John Lennon” and showtime will be 8 p.m. She has said of the group, “There are a lot of Beatles tribute bands from all over the world, and I have seen them all, but the Mersey Beatles are the best I’ve heard.”

Since 1999, the Mersey Beatles have played sold-out shows in more than 20 countries, and had a 10-year run as the house band at the world-famous Cavern Club. They are making their first appearances in the United States on this tour.

Tickets start at $27, and a $49 VIP experience will include preferred seating, a meet-and-greet, and a signed poster.
