One After 901 stages a deep-dive live celebration of The Beatles that reaches beyond a typical tribute, powered by a collective of versatile Memphis musicians who pair historically grounded moments with inventive reinterpretation. Marking the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ 1966 appearance at the Mid-South Coliseum, Graham Winchester, Ben Church, Jacob Church, and Landon Moore, joined by special guests, will perform the same set list from that historic night. The music then shifts to a second set that imagines a 1967 tour that never happened, featuring songs the band did not get to play live. Equal parts concert, time capsule, and creative reimagining, this experience offers a vivid new way to engage with one of modern music’s defining songbooks.
