The Walrus (NOLA)

The Walrus is not your typical Beatles cover band. There are no wigs, no fake accents, no ​gimmicks. Just 4 of New Orleans’ most seasoned players performing some of the best songs ever ​written, purely for the love of the music.

Whether it’s Beatlemania-era classics like “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” mid-60 psychedelia ​such as “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,” rockers like “I Saw Her Standing There,” or ​introspective ballads like “Blackbird,” The Walrus delivers faithful renditions of Beatles ​classics, but with a touch of their own flair, as only 4 of New Orleans’ best known playes can. ​Bassist David Pomerleau (Johnny Sketch & The Dirty Notes, The Desert Nudes) and guitarist ​Jonathan Pretus (Cowboy Mouth, The Breton Sound) share lead vocal ​duties, while guitarist Felix Wohlleben (Jenn Howard Band, Noggin) covers George Harrison’s ​classic lead parts with precision and finesse. Andre Bohren (also of Johnny Sketch, The ​Desert Nudes) adds a third vocal to the mix, while also playing keys and drums ​simultaneously on songs like “Don’t Let Me Down,” a party trick none of the Beatles never ​had to pull off live.

The band has thrilled audiences all over the country, performing at festivals, sold-out theatres and clubs, corporate and private events of all types. The Walrus faithfully brings the ​music of The Beatles to life with each performance, putting smiles on the faces of audiences ​here, there and everywhere.

In 2026, the band released Elysian Fields Forever, an album of 12 Beatles classics reimagined through the wide and varied lens of New Orleans music.
