WONDERWALL presents:
"Harrison On Harrison"
"George Harrison In Art & Music...
on Harrison Street!"
'A Man of All Seasons'. A legend in his time. George
Harrison was a major influence in the pop culture of the
'60s during his Beatle days and as a solo artist, up to the
last days of his life. In music, art, philosophy,
spirituality, and fashion, Harrison touched the lives of
millions around the world. Harrison still resonates
everywhere to this day.
During his life, George Harrison embraced the cultures of
India and Hawai'i and adapted the music and musical
instruments into his own works.
Wonderwall, whose name is derived from a 1968 movie of
the same name for which Harrison did the soundtrack, pays
homage to the late George Harrison during "Art On Harrison".
Focusing on Harrison's personal, musical and spiritual
interests, contributing artists and musicians will
entertain, entice, and enlighten.
Featuring:
- Sitars & Ukuleles Art Exhibit
- World-renowned photojournalist Paul Saltman's 1968
"The Beatles In India" Photo Exhibit
- Sitar Demonstration
- Ukulele Demonstration - Learn a Beatles song. Free
lesson!
- Live music - and much more!
