Jen David, lead singer of the band Illy Mack, joined me in the forest the day after her birthday, which she also happens to share with George Harrison. In honor of this fact, she suggested we make the whole night a Beatles celebration. I ended up playing most of the records, with some choice picks from Jen here and there, and every single song is directly tied to the Beatles in some way. There are songs the Beatles covered, cover versions of Beatle songs, songs from the Beatles and their solo years, plus songs from George Harrison’s personal jukebox circa 1966.
As if all this wasn’t enough for an awesome night, Jen debuted a wonderful “whistle opera” with her dad and friends. The performance was recorded through the PA and can be also be heard below.
