The Lennon Project – A Beatles Tribute
December 8 @ 7:00 pm
SoundTracks Of A Generation is proud to present a one night only experience; the songs and the life of John Lennon in a chronological soundscape. Jay Goeppner, arguably one of the best Lennonesque singers on the planet, assumes the role of John Lennon. Goeppner has just returned from performing at the famed Cavern Club in Liverpool, England, where his voice and performance are highlights of the annual Beatles festival.
This 100-minute retrospective begins in 1966, when the Beatles made the momentous decision to stop touring and concentrate solely on music composed in the studio. That was when the seeds to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band were sown. Songs culled from that album as well as Rubber Soul, Revolver, The White Album, Abbey Road and the rooftop concert for Let It Be as the Beatles’ final performance is faithfully reproduced.
The second half of the show follows Lennon’s solo career from The Plastic Ono Band, to his signature album Imagine, to Sometime In New York City, Mind Games, Walls & Bridges and Rock & Roll. The show concludes with selections from John and Yoko’s final recording, Double Fantasy, released just prior to his death on December 8, 1980; 44 years to the day before this show.
Jay Goeppner and his crack SoundTracks band will intertwine these songs with multimedia images to create the monumental musical and emotional impact that John Lennon brought to the world.
