The Imagined CD, inspired in part by LOVE, Sir George Martin's masterful album and Cirque du Soleil's performance piece, is scheduled for release on Lennon's 70th birthday, October 9, 2010--in conjunction with this concert.  Like the CD, the Song Project's live performances focus mainly on Lennon's Beatles catalogue, thoughtfully weaving melody, lyric and song in a clever, yet sophisticated manner. In concert, this dynamic six-member band replicates the elegant arrangements, inspiring singing, and dazzling instrumentation featured on the Imagined CD: acoustic, electric, and slide guitars, bass, cello, violin, mandolin, mandola, accordion, harmonica and percussion.  In a labor of love, celebrated folk/rockers Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step and Tom Dean of Devonsquare have teamed up with Tom's former band mate Alana MacDonald and a host of talented musicians to recapture the spirit of Lennon's legendary music. =0D=0A=But don't just take our word for it.
