Who Are You – The Music of The Who
May 20, 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
$21.99
The music of The Who defined a generation, and more, has successfully managed to withstand the test of time. When it comes to pop music, success is measured by longevity, and songs like “My Generation,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” or “Behind Blue Eyes” are just as relevant now as they were when Pete Townshend penned them decades ago. Massachusetts-based tribute band, Who Are You, have dedicated themselves to providing the most authentic Who experience they can.
Who Are You, boasts a complete repertoire of Who favorites ranging from the early classics like “I Can’t Explain” and “Magic Bus,” to songs from their more mature years like “Baba O’Riley” and, of course, “Who Are You.” The band also performs the band’s revolutionary album, “Tommy,” which defined the term “rock opera,” in its entirety.
Playing venues throughout the US and Canada, Who Are You brings their audience an exciting multimedia experience that aims to recreate the sheer power that drove The Who to their reputation as one of rock ‘n’ roll’s best live acts.

“It’s impossible to recreate the sound of The Who with any degree of perfection, but Who Are You comes damn close. These four guys understand the power behind the iconic band’s live performance, the character of its members and, of course, the reason why this music has survived through the years. You’d be hard pressed to find this sort of experience anywhere else, save perhaps a performance from Pete and Roger themselves.”
