Join us for Get Back - Unplugged, an evening of music and dancing with The Wahs and special guests. They will be performing in the Surf and Turf room at the Jericho Sailing Centre on October 29th from 8:00 p.m. till 10:30 p.m.
It's been said that the sign of a great song is when it can stand on its own, without any need for complex production. With the warmth of voices in five part harmony, and the simple beauty of acoustic instruments, Get Back Unplugged aims to revisit some of the best loved songs of late-period Beatles, and to deliver them with the joy and spontaneity of friends singing around a kitchen table. Bringing together six stellar singers and players who, between them, have straddled the worlds of folk, Celtic, blues, jazz, and classical music, this intimate and fun performance does not try to imitate the Fab Four, but rather seeks to present interpretations that are authentic to the musicians' own unique voices. While they revere and respect the spirit of these classics, the group embodies the kind of playful, creative energy that the Beatles display in the studio, even occasionally alluding to other genres such as fiddle music, gypsy jazz, and classical music as the spirit moves them.

Venue doors open at 7:30 p.m., but the Galley Patio and Grill is steps away, will be open to the public all day, and offers the best outdoor venue in the city
** PLEASE NOTE ** The Galley kitchen will be closed for the season, but drinks will still be available for consumption in the members' lounge. Because of licence restrictions, drinks cannot be taken inside the music room (Surf and Turf) during the performance. Feel free to come earlier and enjoy the patio, weather permitting. There will also be an intermission for another chance to wet your whistle!
Tickets are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door (cash only, please). Space is limited, and it's going to be a party!
Hope to see you there!
