THE STORY:
When the Beatles landed on American soil February 7th. 1964 (58 years ago), the country was grieving the loss of President Kennedy, a time of tremendous optimism turned upside down in an instant. The Beatles and their music would help guide us through a decade of turmoil, civil rights movements, and wars and would helped provide a voice, optimism, and at times brutal honesty, to a younger generation. Ringo said it best when he adopted the phrase "Peace & Love". Now fast forward to 2022, no doubt. we've just experienced our own rough patch with the Covid pandemic. Most of you may agree, it's been dark and dreary, even chaos at times... For the past few years now, New England local artists, major radio and television and music venues and talented photographers, filmmakers and visual artists have come together to support LOCAL COUNTRY COMES TOGETHER fundraisers that have raised money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute during the height of this pandemic. These are some pretty amazing folks we are talking about. This new concert film and livestream is designed in the spirit of our earlier efforts but this time we look back on history and recognize the contribution of the Beatles not for who they were but for what they did to change minds and promote peace and love in tumultuous times. We also recognize legendary Abbey Road Studios in London which is celebrating its 90th year in operation. Abbey Road Studios is where most of the incredible Beatles music was recorded with only a few exceptions. It seems we are emerging from another pretty dark time, and it's a beautiful thing to spread a little light especially to those who will inevitably continue to struggle with a cancer diagnosis post pandemic. It's a small thing, we are humble artists, but every bit of light matters.
