LIKE MANY BRITISH ROCKERS BEFORE HIM, MICHAEL WAINWRIGHT WAS BORN IN A WORKING CLASS TOWN – WARRINGTON. AFTER MOVING TO CANADA HE BEGAN WRITING SONGS AND DEVELOPING HIS SKILLS BY PERFORMING AT FESTIVALS, THEATERS AND CORPORATE EVENTS THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN ONTARIO IN VARIOUS ACTS, INCLUDING A BEATLES TRIBUTE SHOW “THE CAVERNERS.”

HIS MUSIC GRABBED THE ATTENTION OF LOS ANGELES BASED PRODUCER CHARLTON PETTUS,  WHICH LED TO THE RELEASE OF HIS SELF-TITLED CD, MICHAEL WAINWRIGHT. FROM HIS FIRST RELEASE CAME SEVERAL NOTABLE MUSIC LICENSES INCLUDING MOVING MCALLISTER STARRING MILA KUNIS AND JOHN HEDER; SPIKE TV’S BLUE MOUNTAIN STATE; NBC’S LAS VEGAS; AND EA SPORTS’ THE SIMS 2.

IN 2009, MICHAEL WAS OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM AS THE OPENING ACT AND BACKGROUND SINGER FOR TEARS FOR FEARS. THIS DREAM GIG TOOK HIM ACROSS THE WORLD.  

“2017 WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST YEARS OF MY LIFE, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM IN BRAZIL AT ROCK IN RIO IN FRONT OF 120,000 TEARS FOR FEARS FANS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I FOUND MYSELF IN LONDON AT THE ICONIC ROYAL ALBERT HALL, BELTING OUT MY INNER OLETA ADAMS ON TEARS FOR FEARS’ TIMELESS CLASSIC WOMAN IN CHAINS. THIS DREAM YEAR DIDN’T END THERE, TEARS FOR FEARS PERFORMED LIVE AT THE BBC, BROADCAST LIVE ACROSS THE UK AND EUROPE. I CAME HOME AND SPENT A WEEK OR SO PLAYING MY LOCAL GIGS, BEATLE MONDAY AT THE INNSVILLE (PLUG)BEFORE FLYING ME BACK TO ENGLAND TO PERFORM EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD ON THE UK’S HIT TV SHOW STRICTLY COME DANCING, WAS A WHIRLWIND YEAR!”

RETURNING TO HIS MUSICAL ROOTS, FITTING FOR A GUY BORN JUST OUTSIDE OF LIVERPOOL, MICHAEL’S PASSION FOR BEATLES IS UNDENIABLE. 

“I DROPPED OUT OF ART COLLEGE IN THE LATE 90’s WHEN A CALL CAME IN TO PERFORM AS JOHN IN THE BEATLES TRIBUTE BAND THE CAVERNERS. I WASN’T MUCH OF A PAINTER BUT I KNEW I COULD WEAR A WIG!”

PREFORMING AS BEATLES NOW FOR OVER 20 YEARS MICHAEL (THE JOHN) AND RICK LABRIE OF THE CAVERNERS (GEORGE) COME TOGETHER AS A DYNAMIC BEATLES DUO NAMED THE REPEATLES. CELEBRATING THE COMPLETE BEATLES CATALOGUE FROM A TO Z, THESE BEATLE GUYS SEEM TO KNOW THEM ALL! CAPTURING THE SPIRIT AND ENERGY OF THE WORLDS GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND. 

“NOW WE  KNOW HOW MANY HOLES IT TAKES TO FILL THE ALBERT HALL....”
