Two nights of the Fab Four
For a few years now, the Filling Station has played host to dozens of performers and bands playing Beatles songs. This years tribute is scheduled for this weekend, April 24 and 25. A big fan of the Beatles myself, I went last year and wrote a feature on it. It was a blast. What struck me about the event last year is how modern the music sounded. As I noted in my piece, many of the people in attendence were born more than a decade after the Beatles broke up. It’s quite possible that some of the 21 year olds in the audience will be dancing to songs that were hits before their mother was born.
“They were musical geniuses,’ Mountain Grip member Brett Vredevoogd told me after the band’s set, which included a trippy version of Norwegian Wood. “They were crazy musical geniuses.”
The shows start at 6 p.m. both nights.
