SF: PETER ASHER: "A MUSICAL MEMOIR OF THE 60S AND BEYOND"
"Peter Asher: A Musical Memoir of the 60s and Beyond" will be presented at RRAZZ ROOM at THE HOTEL NIKKO (222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-394-1189) Wednesday & Thursday, May 16th & 17th at 8:00 pm; Friday & Saturday, May 18th & 19th at 9:00 pm; and Sunday, May 20th at 7:00 pm. The show 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 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. There is a $40-$45 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
