A relative newcomer to the rock n roll world, Craig is a Latin teacher by day and faux moptop by night. He is also a rabid/drooling Stones fan, and would be happy to drink your beer for hours and expound on how one can't get into heaven without a profound understanding and appreciation for, at the very least, "The White Album" and "Exile on Main Street."
Joe Covert as Paul
The leader of A Hard Day's Night, Joe is a veteran with thirty years of experience in the music business. He played with "Ready Steady Go", "Royal Royal", and "Wallstreet" for most of the '80s and '90s. Today he leads a student rock band (see a cool video here) and teaches social studies at Sobriety High School in Edina, MN.
Sean McNamee as George
The newest member of the HDN lineup, Sean is a veteran of bands such as (Velvet) Revolver, among others. His favorite pasttime is photoshoping, home recording, and discussing philosophy/drinking Schlitz in Scott Weber's basement.
Zack Scott as Ringo
If it has strings, sticks or keys, Zack can play it well or figure it out. A veteran of several bands in the Los Angeles and Connecticut areas, including Connecticut's "Abbey Road" Beatles tribute, Zack is the "musician's musician" of the group. Just don't feed him whiskey and get him talking about Brian Wilson, or your bar tab will be more expensive than a tank full of premium gas for a Winnebago.
Sheila Covert as Linda McCartney
Brian Epstein, Mal Evans, Neil Aspinall and Derek Taylor all bloody rolled into one: The behind-the-scenes glue that keeps the band firing on all cylinders, Sheila is not afraid to step on the gas to get the van to the show on time. Her primary responsibilities include running sound, getting the dance floor full, spending thousands on guitars and making sure Joe's bathroom breaks are limited to 15 minutes at a time.

Influences
"A Hard Day's Night", the Twin Cities' premiere early Beatle tribute band, has been playing regularly since the summer of 2006 in Minneapolis/St Paul, the outlying suburbs and western Wisconsin. The band's live show is raw and energetic and strives to put together the look, feel and sound of a real Beatles concert. The constantly revolving repertoire includes not only the big hits, such as "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!", but also deeper cuts and Beatle nuggets such as "No Reply", "Baby It's You" and "You Really Got a Hold On Me". The last set ventures forth into the psychedelia of the Revolver/Pepper era and beyond. These four lads are excited to make your event a Hard Day's Night to forget!

Hello, how are you guys? I'm sure you don't remember me from the Elk River show, the one with the peace sign medallion and love beads? That was me. Just wanted to say, I enjoyed the show and thank you for the wonderful performance!
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
