• Scott Freiman is a composer, a musician, and a software entrepreneur. He is the creator of Deconstructing The Music, a series of multimedia presentations about the composition and production techniques of The Beatles and other musicians. Scott has presented his lectures to sold out audiences throughout North America at theaters, museums and corporations, such as Pixar, Google, and Facebook. Scott has also lectured at colleges and universities and has taught a 13-part course at Yale University entitled “The Beatles in The Studio.” He co-hosts the monthly Fab Four Master Class with fellow musicologist Kenneth Womack with whom he leads occasional Beatles-themed trips to Liverpool and London. Scott is featured in eleven Deconstructing the Beatles films currently showing in theatres and available on DVD and streaming, and he is the host of the Deconstructing the Beatles TV series airing on PBS stations nationwide.
• Dr. Kenneth Womack is Professor of English and Popular Music at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. He is the author or editor of more than 40 books, including Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles (2007), the Cambridge Companion to the Beatles (2009), The Beatles Encyclopedia: Everything Fab Four (2014), and a multivolume study devoted to the life and work of Beatles producer George Martin. His most recent Beatles-related book, the bestselling Living the Beatles Legend, traces the story of the band’s road manager Mal Evans. People magazine feted the book as “a Holy Grail for fans, offering an extended look into the band,” while Rolling Stone extolled it as “a fascinating and essential look at the Fab Four saga, starring the loyal Liverpool mate who went through the highest highs and lowest lows with them, always by their side, until his shocking death.” Womack is also the author, along with his Monmouth University colleague Kenneth L. Campbell, of Bruce Songs: The Music of Bruce Springsteen, Album-by-Album, Song-by-Song (2024), which was named an Outstanding Reference Source by the American Library Association’s RUSA chapter.
