The Nu-Utopians August 25, 2012

The Nu-Utopians is a unique and compelling seven-piece band 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 songs that often inspire a whole new appreciation for John's music. The band's live show features entertaining storytelling, superb singing and three-part harmonies, plus a host of talented musicians on acoustic, electric and bass guitars, cello, violin, mandola, accordion, 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.
