Get Back Unplugged, The Beatles Reimagined 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, span the worlds of folk, Celtic, blues,

jazz, and classical music, this intimate and engaging performance does not try to imitate the Fab Four, but

rather seeks to present renditions that are authentic to the musicians’ own unique voices. A fiddle can

give a dazzling guitar solo? An accordion can be a menacing bulldog? With renditions ranging from Nova

Scotia folk music vibes to classic Tina Turner, audiences marvel at this group’s incredible interpretations!

‘Get Back Acoustic’ started as an idea of Vancouver-based folk-pop trio The Wahs, after seeing the

recent Peter Jackson-produced documentary about the famous Get Back recording sessions and the

celebrated Beatles rooftop concert.

Featuring The Wahs: and special guests:

Cameron Wilson, Violin, vocals LJ Mounteney, Vocals, ukulele, percussion

Andrew Hillhouse, Vocals, guitar Allan Dionne, Accordion, vocals

Brent Gubbels, Bass David Gibbons, Vocals, guitar

“A most definitely not a cover band!”

Alex Waterhouse Hayward, Photographer

I saw your show live streamed last night and I give it 5 stars because isn’t the greatest tribute

to the Fab Four is not to slavishly duplicate the arrangements and every note of the song, but

to do what you did: bring your stellar musical talents to lovingly reimagine those beautiful

gems!
