Mark Lewis (Founder, Manager, Original Keyboardist) As the managerial and creative mind that transformed RAIN – A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES from a 1970s southern California bar band doing Beatles covers into an ultra-professional group, Mark Lewis recruited the excellent musicians who would gel into Rain’s long-standing line-up. He traces his love of the Fab Four to the Sunday night of February 9, when his generation was smitten by The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. Originally called Reign, the band gained national fame, changed its name to Rain and cut the soundtrack to the made-for-TV movie Birth of the Beatles (thanks to Dick Clark). An accomplished pianist at 13, having studied since age 5, he began his career playing the Farfisa organ in teenage rock bands around his native Los Angeles. It was Mark, the original keyboard player with RAIN – A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES, who worked out all of the musical parts and sounds that enabled RAIN – A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES to bring many songs that The Beatles themselves never performed live, to life.
