Darcy Gibson has brought most of the Beatles’ catalog to life on stage in one form or another over the years. As the leader of bands like Sgt. Pepper’s Phony Hearts Club Band and the Justice League he performed most of the Beatles' albums in full detail, employing an array of talented friends and family to round out the band and orchestra. Now he is joined by two veterans of the aforementioned groups to present stripped-down and intimate arrangements of Beatles' songs that will focus on the incredible harmonies they created throughout their entire career. Join Darcy, Jackie Gibson and Chris Cleveland for an evening of fun and beautiful songs.
