Polytype

He was nicknamed The Quiet Beatle, so often overlooked in the massive shadow of Lennon & McCartney, but George Harrison’s songs speak for themselves (and then some). Here Comes The Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, My Sweet Lord, Something, Handle With Care, All Things Must Pass, Taxman, Within You Without You, Isn’t It A Pity…his songbook is insane. Come celebrate Harrison’s iconic Beatles, solo, and Traveling Wilburys songs with an all-star house band comprised of members of Neon Trees, Desert Noises, Fictionist, and The Lower Lights backing up an absurd lineup of singers. Who? Meg & Brady Parks (The National Parks), Mindy Gledhill, Joey St. John (Cardinal Bloom), Nate Pyfer (Pinguin Mofex), Marie Bradshaw (The Hollering Pines), Jenn Blosil, Julianne Brough, Ryan Innes, Peter Breinholt, Mason Porter (Polytype), Mick Rudolph (Seaslak), Marcus Bently, Debra Fotheringham, Paul Jacobsen (The Madison Arm), Jordan Moyes, Amy Gileadi (Sunfall Festival), Talin Everett, Dominic Moore, and Dallin Major (Atlast Slave). It all happens at The State Room on May 2. Presented by the same folks, Madison Arm Presents, who brought you Tom Petty/Wildflowers, Bob Dylan/Blood On The Tracks, Neil Young/Harvest, Weezer/Blue Album, and Beatles/Abbey Road tribute shows, among others.
