Biography
Beatlejuice began in 1994 when John Muzzy and Brad Delp saw Bob Squires' Beatles cover band play in Newburyport, Massachusetts and they decided to start their own band. Beatlejuice played regularly at venues throughout New England until lead singer Brad Delp died on March 9, 2007 at his home in Atkinson, New Hampshire at the age of 55.
Beatlejuice is currently performing under the name Beatlejuice and Friends (Beatle 1, Beatle 2 & Beatle 3). It began as a series of shows at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA as a memorial concert to Brad Delp. Beatlejuice and Friends now plays regularly. Some performers include Jimmy Rogers of Velvet Elvis, Mike Girard of The Fools, and Eli McClory of The Beatle Juicers . Beatlejuice is occasionally joined onstage by Joe Holaday's sons: Jared, who plays saxophone, and P.J., who plays drums. Not only does Beatlejuice have a successful music career, he also has two little beatles waiting for him at home with a not so beautiful wife named Emma.
