FEATURED ARTIST

Peter Asher

We first came to know him through the global smash "World Without Love" as one half of the British Invasion duo Peter & Gordon. He returns in "Peter Asher: A Musical Memoir of the 60s and Beyond" which brings a multimedia experience to the stage, hosted by the two-time Grammy winner for Producer of the Year. Peter Asher moved effortlessly from his role with Peter & Gordon to Music Executive with the Beatles' Apple Records, then famously- (as in cover of Rolling Stone magazine level famous)- to Producer and Manager, handling the careers of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and a host of others. Books abound, documentaries with half truths (and worse) are all too common, but, now, finally, Mr. Asher tells first hand his tales from the eye of the cultural hurricane in this intimate evening.

"Memoir" includes film footage and photos from Peter's considerable personal archive, brought to life with a storyteller's gift, transporting audiences back to the heart of 60s popular culture. Icons such as Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Marianne Faithful, Yoko Ono, Carole King, James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt are among the cast of characters in this narrative - along (of course) with the greatly missed Gordon Waller. The evening is filled with the music of Peter & Gordon, including "I Go to Pieces", "True Love Ways", and "Lady Godiva". The songs given to Peter & Gordon by Paul McCartney are also front and center: "Woman", "I Don't Want to See You Again", "Nobody I Know", and "World Without Love", all of which were US Top 40 hits. Peter – backed by a four piece band - presents these timeless classics along with other old favourites from that golden era.

"As Mr. Asher regaled a delighted audience with stories... he conjured history in the making, before it was set in stone"
- New York Times

“A rare and unique opportunity to be immersed in a retrospective journey into the early days of rock and roll…led by the man who helped shape that world and the one we see today.”
- Times Newspapers

"This was an emotional night for me... I loved this show. Peter lived history. It was so poignant to hear him talk about the music scene in the 60s, his days with Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger. He and Gordon created timeless music. "
- Rob Christie, Rob and Audie morning show host, Capital FM

"We loved it! It was a perfect night"
- Lesley Primeau, CHED AM
