Outpost in the Burbs - Featuring Nutopia

The Nutopians, their name given to them by Yoko Ono, is a unique and compelling 8-piece ensemble that celebrates the genius and artistry of John Lennon. Created and led by Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step and Tom Dean of Devonsquare, the ensemble gives remarkably fresh treatments to Lennon\'s best and least known Beatles and solo song compositions that often inspire a whole new appreciation for the icon\'s music. The band\'s live show features entertaining storytelling, and like their award winning CD “Imagined” and follow-up \"Lennon Re-Imagined,\" superb lead singing and 3-part harmonies, plus a host of talented musicians on acoustic, electric and bass guitars, cello, violin, mandola, accordion, piano, chromatic harmonica and light percussion. In a series of singles and mini-medleys, the band\'s arrangements frequently involve weaving melody, lyric and song together in new and unexpected ways. The Nutopians announce their affiliation with WhyHunger’s Artists Against Hunger & Poverty program to help raise awareness and funds for this distinguished international organization. A portion of the band’s proceeds from concerts and “Imagined” CD sales will be donated to WhyHunger. http://www.thenutopians.com/ Friday, February 22, 2013 8:00 p.m. (7:30 doors) Outpost in the Burbs Unitarian Universalist Congregation 67 Church Street Montclair, NJ 07042 $32.50 ADV / $37.00 DOS
