Get Back Unplugged Performance

Seaside Music Festival Presents: Get Back – Unplugged… the Beatles Reimagined
Friday, May 23
Doors open @ 7:00pm, Show @ 7:30pm

Get Back Unplugged, The Beatles Reimagined aims to revisit some of the best loved songs of late-period Beatles, and to deliver them with the joy and spontaneity of friends singing around a kitchen table.

Bringing together six stellar singers and players who, between them, span the worlds of folk, Celtic, blues, jazz, and classical music, this intimate and engaging performance does not try to imitate the Fab Four, but rather seeks to present renditions that are authentic to the musicians’ own unique voices. A fiddle can give a dazzling guitar solo? An accordion can be a menacing bulldog? With renditions ranging from Nova Scotia folk music vibes to classic Tina Turner, audiences marvel at this group’s incredible interpretations!

‘Get Back Unplugged’ started as an idea of Vancouver-based folk-pop trio The Wahs, after seeing the recent Peter Jackson-produced documentary about the famous Get Back recording sessions and the celebrated Beatles rooftop concert.

Featuring The Wahs:
Cameron Wilson, Violin, vocals
Andrew Hillhouse, Vocals, guitar
Brent Gubbels, Bass
