Rubber Soul & Nashville Skyline

Vashon Events’ third showcase this year features local Vashon musicians taking on two of the all time greatest albums recorded – The Beatles’ Rubber Soul and Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline, ranked by Rolling Stones Magazine as numbers 5 and 4 respectively of the 500 greatest albums of all time. "Two Albums – Start to Finish" will feature more than two dozen local musicians who will play one song each, cover to cover. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door only. The show will kick off with Rick Doussett performing, "Drive My Car" at 8 pm and will be emcee’d by Vashon Events’ cofounder – Allison Shirk. There are 24 songs total that make up the albums and musicians will be playing solo and in small ensembles.
 
The concept for playing albums cover to cover gives us a chance to take the audience on a musical journey. These songs are extremely nostalgic for most people. And when our favorite local musicians bring them back to life live, it can be very emotional. Musicians either play the tune as close to the original as possible, or interpret the song in their own unique style. Either way, it’s one of those concerts where audiences stop talking and lean into the music, anticipating the next note. For musicians, it can be very fulfilling when an audience listens to the music in this way.
 
Proceeds from the event will support Vashon Events – Vashon Island’s community arts, culture, and charity events website that launched this year. This will include the cost of the sound engineer, John Sparks, who works hard to make the show run smoothly. Vashon Events is also planning to use proceeds to create a new, "add to my calendar" button for each event so that subscribers can view events and immediately add them to their personal gmail or outlook calendar. There will be a raffle during intermission between the albums to give away wine from Vine to Vashon Wine and gift certificates for the Vashon Roasterie.
