“A Strings Attached Music & Video Pod”

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the revolutionary album, Will Taylor and Strings Attached will transport audiences on a psychedelic journey through the legendary music of the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band” album, Friday, May 25th and Sunday, May 27th, at St. David’s Church and the Nutty Brown Café, respectively. Performers slated for the event include:

Billy Harvey,Tony Scalzo (of Fastball), Molly Venter, Jean Synodinos, Wendy Colonna, Will Walden of the Grassy Knoll Boys, Coffee Seargents, Libby Kirkpatrick, Matt the Electrician, Rodney Connell, David Hess

Audience members are encouraged to come dressed in period clothing.

This Grammy Award winning album, dubbed by many as the ‘greatest album of all time’, expands upon the musical influences of blues, pop and rock to incorporate a wide range of experimental instruments and imaginative lyrics. Controversial for it’s time, the album was released in 1967, building upon the ‘Beatlemania’ of the early 60’s, and was an instant success.

Add to this Will Taylor’s own signature style of instrumentation; an ensemble cast of musicians, including a string quartet, horn section, tabla, sitar; and some of Austin’s most renowned guest artists, and these performances promise to be an incredible evening of entertainment. Timeless crowd-pleasers such as “With a Little Help from My Friends”, “A Day in the Life”, “When I’m 64” and “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” are just a sampling of what to expect as the album will be performed in its entirety. From controversial to mainstream, the music of the “Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band” album remains as innovative and enjoyable today as it was 40 years ago.

Recipient of numerous music awards, including this year’s winner of the Austin Music Award’s strings category, Will Taylor continues to ‘wow’ audiences with his unique brand of musical compilations and collaborations with talented guest performers. This event is one not to be missed!

Last year, Will Taylor and Strings Atached performed the entire Beatles White Album live to an audience of over 1600 Austin music fans.

Some comments from the show:

I’m someone who actually saw the Beatles live. It was at the Astrodome in Houston in the mid 1960’s. Mainly, I remember I could hardly hear the music because of so many screaming girls. Your show was truly special because I’m a fan of all the artists who performed. However I’d have to say that for me Carolyn Wonderland really brought the house down. The whole show was something I’ll always remember. Thank you. Diana P.   This is one of those quintessential Austin nights, magical! I can’t wait for the next concert!!!!   Will and SA, it was absolutely fabulous. One of the most energetic and magical shows that I’ve ever been to. How you managed to squeeze in all those musicians/singers and have the quality of performance that you did is a testament to all who contributed! Thanks so much for a very memorable evening — what a great way to close out your season! Gale C.
