The White Album Ensemble rides again...
the return of RUBBER REVOLVER...
The Beatles’ “Rubber Soul”, and “Revolver“ albums, and era singles performed live by The White Album Ensemble
Golden State Theatre 417 Alvarado Street, Monterey Alvarado Street, Monterey
Saturday, August 11th
Showtime 8 PM, doors at 7:00 After numerous sold- out performances of “The White Album Live”, "Let Abbey Road Be", and "Sgt Pepper' Magical Mystery Tour", the White Album Ensemble is returning to Monterey with “Rubber Revolver“, performing the Beatles’ “Rubber Soul”, and “Revolver” albums live, as well as the singles that were released simultaneously with each album (“We Can Work It Out”, Day Tripper” with Rubber Soul, Paperback Writer”, and “Rain” with Revolver).
A Raffle will be held at intermission benefiting Guitars, not Guns; a non profit, anti- violence, pro- music education organization a tradition with White Album Ensemble shows.
Over $100,000 has been raised for community, and school music programs, and the non-profit organizations Guitars not Guns, Jazzmasters Monterey, and the Santa Cruz Symphony in the past four years by the Ensemble, from profits of their shows.
No time or expense has been spared in recreating these amazing pieces of music, from string quartet, tabla, horn section, backwards guitar parts, and intricate vocal harmonies. Many consider “Rubber Soul”, and “Revolver” the pinnacle of the Beatles’ songwriting and recording career.
The Beatles themselves, in numerous references, stated that they felt that Rubber Soul and Revolver were as one work, a double album concurrently recorded, but released separately due to contractual obligations.
John Lennon called the two records “like bookends”.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel's front- page review of the White Album Live’s performances said:
"If you missed the White Album show, start kicking yourself now", and "The best concert in Santa Cruz in years".
Adam Cotton of the Santa Cruz Metro remarked,
“It’s not just a re-creation, it’s an experience. I was utterly blown away”. A follow-up article by the Sentinel’s Wallace Baine stated,
"Both Rio shows — benefiting local schools and anti-violence programs — were sold out. Many people felt they would enjoy the concert. But a common response in the wake of those shows was that people weren’t merely entertained, but transformed".

You don't have to be a great guitarist to teach. These are beginner lessons and you only need to know six chords. Our class size is normally 10 students with three teachers. One teacher at the front of the room and two teachers that move among the students to help those that need help. It's easy and it's fun. |
