[email protected] Isaac Mallot plays the violin while rehearsing on Thursday for 'Beatles vs. Stones,' a concert at the Owensboro RiverPark Center on April 23. Owensboro has its own version of the Fab Four. Isaac Malott, Morgan Nave, Trinity King and Hayden Deaton, all of Owensboro, will take center stage April 23 at the RiverPark Center when they perform beside two professional tribute bands in a show titled "Beatles vs. Stones." The teens -- three violinists and a cellist -- will play music that defined their grandmas' and grandpas' generation and changed the modern music scene forever. At their first rehearsal Thursday afternoon, the teens played the Rolling Stones' "As Tears Go By." At next month's concert, they'll also perform that group's hit "Ruby Tuesday," along with "Hey Jude," "Eleanor Rigby," "Hello Goodbye" and "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles.
