This past Saturday,
@thecleav ,
@howell_steve ,
@sledgemahal ,
@snurkin , and I performed a Sgt. Pepperâsâera (give or take) Beatles set for one of my favorite Raleigh traditions â The Great Cover Up at
@kingsraleigh . It truly couldnât have gone better. It was an absolute blast bringing these âstudio-onlyâ songs to life on stage.
Arguably putting in more hours than even the band and me, I want to thank my wife
@pocket_seeds_ , who meticulously transformed our âbudgetâ Sgt. Pepper suits. She combed over reference photos from the era and added the right patches, military badges, extra frills, and even hand-painted George Harrisonâs little âpsychedelic box.â The details were incredible.
During the behind-the-scenes mayhem that is always a (welcomed) part of The Cover Up, we forgot to take a group photo â but hereâs the best of what Iâve got from the night. đ
Cast:â¨John â Stuart McLamb â¨Paul â Robert Sledgeâ¨George â Steve Howellâ¨Ringo â Scott Nurkinâ¨George Martin â Charles Cleaverâ¨Eggman â Kate Thompson
