Sedona, AZ — What a show Saturday night at the Blazin’ M Ranch—both musically and weather-wise!
While lightning and torrential rains raged outside the Blazin’ M Ranch concert hall, Beatles tribute band Britain’s Finest put on an electrifying and spectacular show for a sold-out audience of Baby Boomers who braved the storm to witness a performance they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.
The band played flawlessly, becoming the Beatles for the two-hour show and creating an experience that not only entertained but mesmerized as well.
Blazin’ M Ranch owner Ryan Glass emceed the concert, adopting an impeccable British accent as he introduced the band, roused the audience, and led the congregation of Beatles fans through a scrumptious and hearty dinner of chicken, ribs, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese for the pre-concert feast.
They played all the hits—rockin’ songs like Can’t Buy Me Love, I Want to Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, Eight Days a Week, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Yellow Submarine and so many more—taking the audience from the Beatles’ early years through their final era. The evening closed with a moving and emotional rendition of Hey Jude, leaving the crowd swaying and singing together for the last song of the night.
For many, it was almost as if the Beatles themselves were on the Blazin’ M Ranch stage. Simply amazing.
For more than 30 years, the Blazin’ M Ranch has provided visitors to Arizona with an Old West experience to remember—featuring a mouth-waterin’ BBQ chicken and ribs chuckwagon supper followed by a toe-tappin’, knee-slappin’ hour-long Western stage production by award-winning musicians.
When not hosting concerts and dinner shows, the Blazin’ M Ranch offers a true Western experience with activities guaranteed to bring out the cowboy and cowgirl in everyone, including hatchet throwing, a shooting gallery, bull riding, Wild West shopping, a vintage tractor pull, photo ops, and plenty more fun things to do.
Coming up on Saturday, October 18, Alabama tribute band Tennessee River will take the stage for Blazin’ M Ranch’s next dinner show concert.
The Tennessee River band is the first and only tribute act with the vocal chops to truly honor Alabama’s music. With their new hybrid of contemporary crossover—blending the rural and urban sounds of modern-day country and blues with the spirit of rock ’n’ roll—they stay true to Alabama’s essence while adding fresh, modern energy. Their renditions breathe new life into Alabama’s chart-topping songs, bringing them alive for a whole new generation of country music fans.
