"The trippiest part of the whole shebang is Timothy Biancalana. The guy looks, but more importantly sings, exactly like the young John Lennon.... It's not just convincing, it's spooky."
Ryan Masters, ROCK'S NOT DEAD Monterey County Weekly, Dec 15-21, 2005
Biancalana gives an "amazing" performance (GO Magazine, Monterey County Herald, Dec 1, p.18 ) bringing to life the late Lennon while performing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "Love Me Do", "She Loves You", "Help", "I Saw Her Standing There", "A Hard Day's Night", "Ticket to Ride", "Norwegian Wood", "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Twist & Shout" as the show traces the path of rock'n'roll through the British Invasion.

This original work of social satire, poetry, short stories, songs and illustration is a unique tribute to British Rock 'n' Roll icon, John Lennon. Village Idiom is a comedic work combining the multiple talents of the author in a consistently funny, entertaining and inspiring book of pure creativity. It takes you on an "imagine if" experience as though John Lennon were writing contemporary lyrics, stories and social commentary in the 21st century.
Biancalana has been a Beatles enthusiast for years and was inspired by Lennon's life, music, writing and unsurpassed creative genius. "As a writer, I emulate his poetry and story-writing style. As an actor, I use my body, speech and song to bring my original writing and social satire to life. I borrow Lennon's mannerisms, British dialect and irreverent style of humor adding my own attitude of the ridiculous," said Biancalana. The Village Idiom performance CD has already received local radio airplay.
"Irreverent, intellectual humor, stirred with imaginative word play and wit, reminiscent of the lyrics and writings of John Lennon with a dash of Monty Python
