If anyone asks me about the George Martin years I usually say I group all of that stuff together as the single greatest experience but I wasn't scared I was just really looking forward to it.

Beckley Kweller and the band performed Sister Golden Hair together. Beginning with their fourth album Holiday they began recording under the auspices of former Beatles producer Sir George Martin. Matthew is known for producing pop music and touring with Katy Perry for 4 years.

By 1962 Beckley was playing guitar in The Vanguards an instrumental surf music band in Virginia. Beckley was born to an American father and an English mother.
