This is not a “tribute” concert in any sense. We are not attempting to reverently recreate the
original recordings but rather to adapt John’s material in a variety of rhythmic contexts
(including Americana, Blues, Gospel, Afro-Pop, Reggae, Funk, and Swing) and to open up the
music to improvisation, reharmonization, and different styles and approaches. If this music is
to survive it must be pushed into the future—where Lennon’s attention was always firmly
focused. Indeed his entire life and career is a marvel of growth, transformation and adaptability
until his tragic death in 1980.

In addition to Mr. Scanlon on guitar, the ensemble features Bert Dalton - Piano, Alex Murzyn - Sax, Gordon Johnson - Bass, Joe Chellman - Drums, Eliana Joy O’Brien on vocals, a phenomenal rising local talent, as well as two veterans of the Santa Fe music scene.
We hope you join us for this special event at 7:30pm, October 9th at Paradiso!

# THE REMEBERERS PRESENT "FIREBIRD"

The ReMemberers are a performance trio weaving ritual storytelling, global song and multi-instrumental virtuosity into an experience that feels part theater, part concert and part ceremony. Violet Southard’s numinous voice, Alex Harvey’s resonant strings and John deKadt’s percussive tale-telling create an atmosphere where ancient myths breathe again - told, sung and drummed into presence. Each gathering begins with an inherited wisdom tale and unfolds as a journey inward. Musical traditions from across the planet converge in this awakening of ancient folklore. The ReMemberers, in partnership with their audience, rekindle one of humanity’s oldest customs: coming together to listen, imagine and be transformed. Their website: https://www.rememberers.org/

Their new work, THE FIREBIRD, is a thousand-year-old Russian folktale that's as resonant today as it's ever been. A poor huntsman catches a faint glimpse of the never-before-seen Firebird and his fate is sealed. Ensnared by the whims of a tyrannical king - the ego made sovereign - he stumbles deeper into complicity with an authoritarian regime, with no one but a talking horse to advise him. All the while something calls from a far horizon in his heart: a longing to know what lies underneath everything. Courage won't be enough to answer that call. Neither will serenity. Only a willingness to be completely undone. This evening will remain with you like an old friend returning home.
