SUMMARY:THE LENNON PROJECT – A BEATLES TRIBUTE
DESCRIPTION:SoundTracks Of A Generation is proud to present the songs and the life of John Lennon in a chronological soundscape starring Jay Goeppner.  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 which led to albums like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band\, Rubber Soul\, Revolver\, The White Album\, Abbey Road\, and the rooftop concert for Let It Be\, as the Beatles’ final performance. The second half of the show showcases 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 prior to his death on December 8\, 1980. Goeppner and his crack Soundtracks band intertwines these songs with multimedia images to create the monumental musical and emotional impact that John Lennon brought to the world. \nBuy Now
