Cha-Chi is the Producer and Co-Host for Come Together, in addition to being a Beatles Media Personality, Radio Host, and Historian. In his forty years of entertainment, he's hung out with Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Sir Ringo Starr several times, as well as other historical figures from The Beatles' inner circle and beyond, including George Martin, Pete Best, Yoko Ono, Peter Asher, and many others. Some of Cha-Chi's interactions with them include dinner with Paul at Lee Eastman’s NYC apartment, backstage at a private concert at the Frank Sinatra School of The Arts, and traveling to Abbey Road Studios for a Tony Bennett/Paul McCartney recording session.
He’s interviewed Ringo numerous times and Cha-Chi’s “Breakfast With The Beatles” radio show has been the consistent sponsor of Ringo’s concerts in Boston, in addition to his Ringo Starr Art Show tour and appearances. Cha-Chi has emceed and narrated five sold-out Beatle inspired performances with the world-renowned Boston Pops Orchestra in front of thousands of people.

John Logan
Producer and Co-Host
John is the Producer and Co-Host for Come Together and joins Cha-Chi on stage where he uses magic and audience interaction as a way to showcase underground stories about The Beatles. John received a standing ovation on the NBC's America’s Got Talent and was also the Team Magician for the New England Patriots with episodes seen by over a million people on a weekly basis, which led to him touring the country with Super Bowl Champion Malcolm Mitchell promoting education.
John is also an international keynote speaker and is consistently invited to present at corporate conferences and leadership summits. With his upbeat and modern approach to entertainment, he teaches research on innovation and teamwork, yet integrates his background in magic so executives learn in an engaging way. John breaks down the psychology of how successful teams can turn a vision into reality, but more importantly, how to bring a sense of wonder, curiosity, and inspiration to the world -- regardless of what your career path or life aspirations might be.
