Based out of San Luis Obispo, California, The Apple Scruffs are the Central Coast’s very finest all girl Beatles cover band! We bring years of musical experience spanning across genres, fabulous sixties inspired fashion, and a shared passion for all things Beatles to every show. We’d be so happy just to dance with you at one of our gigs!

Presley (she/her)
BASS, VOCALS
Beatlemania never died…it is alive and well and living in SLO. Presley is a local bass musician with a background in musical theatre. This is her first band and she is absolutely thrilled to be playing McCartney in a Beatle’s coverband. She has extensive knowledge on all things Beatle and is essentially a local Beatles historian. She hopes to share the Beatles' energy of peace and love through their music, and she can’t wait to meet the Beatle loving community in SLO.
Matilda (they/she)
DRUMS, VOCALS
With only the professional experience of percussion being her 7th grade band class, Matilda is delighted to get on a kit to enrich her drumming experience in respect to Mr. Peace and Love himself! The tracks of Please Please Me were a childhood classic. She found herself learning how to harmonize singing along in the back of her fathers truck. Her musicality derives from years of piano lessons in her youth, experience in choir from grade school to Cuestas Voce and Chamber Choir, as well as a constant enthusiasm in the “dabbling” of instruments.
Fun Fact: I learned how to harmonize to these tunes
Blaine (they/she)
GUITAR, VOCALS
Lead guitarist and supporting vocalist for the Apple Scruffs, Blaine brings Harrison’s tuneful melodies to life while playing these iconic Beatles songs. Dedicated to doing him justice, Blaine grows a little bit more each time she plays. As a vocalist, she’s excited to sing in harmony with a little help from her friends. With background experience in K-12 and college choir, her vocals can be described as rich, soft, and clear, and loves blending smooth tones wherever she can. She’s inspired by her bandmates, her friends, and her family, and lets the love lead the way.
