For the movie, see Beetlejuice.

Beatlejuice is a New England-based The Beatles cover band that featured the late Brad Delp, former front-man of the band Boston, on vocals. Beatlejuice has the distinction of faithfully reproducing Beatles music note-for-note, from early Beatles to late Beatles, without costumes or stage gimmicks.

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) (deceased)

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 at venues throughout New England until lead singer Brad Delp sadly passed away on March 9th, 2007 at his home in Atkinson, New Hampshire at the age of 55.

Beatlejuice is occasionally joined onstage by Joe Holaday's sons: Jared, who plays sax, and P.J., who plays drums.

Beatlejuice is currently performing under the name Beatlejuice and Friends. 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, Charlie Farren, Peter DiStefano, and more.

Beatlejuice is currently holding auditions for a new lead singer.
