Meet Clarence Steel, above left!
Penrose Lane was started by Randy. Randy has a great voice for rock,
pop and country music, plays keyboards and lead
guitar as well as bass guitar. Randy is a very friendly musician who has a lot of
fun with the band and our audiences. Stop by and say hello at one of our
performances won't you?
Meet Roger Sumner !
Roger Sumner is the drummer for Penrose Lane. Roger has years of experience as a
pro drummer and has been a 'working on the road' musician including a stint in the US Navy band.
Roger has a full set of custom Allegra drums and Ziljian cymbals which really
adds the perfect sound to Penrose Lane. Roger can play any type of music including rock, blues, country, swing, ballads and everything in between with equal ease.
Roger has a great personality, a great stage presence, is a fantastic drummer
and also has a wonderful singing voice. Please stop by and say hello to him at one of our gigs very soon!
Meet Richard Easton!
Meet Penrose Lanes Richard Easton seen here recreating 'Paul' in Sgt. Peppers garb (below) and as you might see him in 'real life' (above) performing live on stage in both photographs. Check it out!
Come by and say hi to Richard soon!
Dick is an extraordinarily gifted musician and is seen here playing bass in
one of our 'Beatles' concerts. Dick plays many instruments including
bass, guitars, and keyboards. Dick has a gift for picking out just the right harmony part in a song and has been an invaluable asset to
The Penrose Lane Band's vocal sound.
It's official! Our home-town of Walla Walla Washington has an official city street named 'Penny Lane'! Near the scenic drive of Mill Creek we have an official 'Blue Jay Way'! We also have an official 'Strawberry fields forever' with Klickers world famous strawberry fields just east of Walla Walla. Penrose Lane is proud to be based out of a relatively small town, but a town which has a contingent of 'artsy' thinkers and very much appreciates what a treasure live music is. Penrose Lane is dedicated to keeping the music of The Beatles alive! Rock on!!!
Penrose Lane has added it's own version of 'Neil Aspinall' to the band in the person of our best friend ever, Mr. Andy Anderson. Andy has 'looked after us' and helped us in so many ways it would be impossible to know how to thank him but here it is anyway: Thank you Andy!
Most Beatles Tribute Bands have the familiar Rickenbacker 325V63 'black Ricky' but Penrose Lane has in addition to the 325V63 a Rickenbacker 325V59 'Hamburg' in the natural
'Mapleglo' color as John used in Hamburg and through the Cavern period. John had the color of this guitar changed to black from the original natural color. This guitar was stolen from him on the first US tour. He then replaced it with the 325V63 'Miami', the black guitar as seen in most of the Beatles photo's in the early to mid '60's. We also have just received a vintage Hammond Leslie. The Beatles used the Leslie in their later period (I Want You She's So Heavy). It is a true piece of rock history and very much in keeping with our commitment to keep early rock and roll alive in the most original way possible. You will definitely want to come check out these cool instruments at our next equipment display!
