Sherman Applegate + Musician in Elk Grove, CA

ABOUT

Currently singing and performing with Sacramento's premiere Beatles tribute band, TicketToRide Electric, I provide the Mellotron, piano and other keyboard parts that are so essential to the Beatles sweeping orchestral sound, occasionally switching to acoustic guitar as needed.

In 2022-2023 I was also the keyboard player for Another Brick - The Ultimate Pink Floyd Experience.

I also am available to play solo piano in more intimate settings like a winery or smaller venues

Although based in the Sacramento Valley, I have played all over Northern California & the San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area.

I also write, record and produce original compositions, usually performing all the instruments myself, three of which are shared here. I have contributed original music to the films "Charmed & Dangerous" (1999) and "Binding Tale" (2016). A full length album of original music is currently in production
