For the movie, see Beetlejuice.

Beatlejuice is a Boston-based The Beatles cover band that featured the late Brad Delp, former front-man of the band Boston, on vocals. They are very well known throughout New England and beyond.

Current band members include:

John "Muzz" Muzzy (drums)
Steve Baker (keyboard, guitar)
Joe Holaday (bass)
Dave Mitchell (guitar)

Past band members:

Bob Squires (guitar)
Peter DiStefano (guitar)
Brad Delp (vocals)

Beatlejuice began in 1994 when Bob Squires and Brad Delp saw a Beatles cover band play in Newburyport, MA and they decided to start their own band. Beatlejuice played regularly in New England until lead singer Brad Delp committed suicide on March 9th, 2007 at his home in Atkinson, New Hampshire at the age of 55.

Beatlejuice was occasionally joined onstage by Joe Holaday's sons Jared, who plays sax, and P.J., who plays drums. Beatlejuice also bared the distinction of faithfully reproducing Beatles music note-for-note, from early Beatles to late Beatles, without costumes or stage gimmicks that are often in cover bands.

Many of the members of Beatlejuice are also part of Velvet Elvis, who played the next night at Johnny D's in Davis Square, Somerville, Mass., for what was supposed to be Beatlejuice's second of two shows that weekend.

Most recently, the members of Beatlejuice did a series of performances at the Regent Theater under the name Beatlejuice and Friends, in Arlington, MA as a memorial concert to Brad. Some performers included Jimmy Rogers of Velvet Elvis, Charlie Farren, Peter DiStefano, and more. There are plans to do another Beatlejuice and Friends show this summer.
