The Bird and the Beatles

Musician Jennifer Robin was 12 and living in Taos, New Mexico when the Beatles burst on the American music scene. Already proficient on the piano and guitar, she learned to play "Norwegian Wood" and scores of other tunes made popular by the Fab Four. Jennifer's love of the Beatles endured—in 2006 she debuted her show, "The Bird and the Beatles," at Dr. Music, a well-known music store in Eagle Rock, California. The program featured Jennifer's signature jazzy/folky interpretations of her favorite Beatles songs, interspersed with recollections of her childhood in Taos (then population 2,000). The collection was recently released on a new CD, the artist's fifth. Two years ago, Jennifer moved back to New Mexico to be closer to her sister. She returned to southern California in August to perform selections from "The Bird and the Beatles" and a few other fan favorites at the South Pasadena Music Conservatory. The CD is available on CD Baby and can also be ordered directly from Jennifer, who designed the sixties-inspired package art herself.

The Bird and the Beatles

Yay! The Beatle CD I have been longing to record for 6 years is made and ready to be served up in a concert celebration at the wonderful high ceilinged, wood floored, brick walled performance space aka The South Pasadena Music Conservatory. The cover is $10 and the CD will be available at the event. Not only will I be singing my jazzy/folky versions of some of my fav Beatles songs, but telling a few stories of what it was like when I first heard them, first boyfriends, the excitement of wearing Mod clothes in Taos, NM in 1968 and how the famed 4 turned my life upside down!

The musicians are utterly wonderful. Riner Scivally on guitars, Warren Giancaterino on bass, Jerry Kalaf on drums, percussion and vibes, and special guest Frank Marsico on harmonica, vibes and marimba.

Sure hope you can stop by!!

I had to stop listening to The Beatles because I didn't want to be too affected by the original versions.
It had to come from really deep inside of me.

She so completely owns these familiar songs that she makes you forget they were written by someone other than herself.

I was about her age when the Beatles came to town and I played guitar too. But not as well as Jennifer, I like her style but am too much of a purist. I don't think you should mess with the classics. It's so nice of you to make this lens and I'm happy to see that she really appreciates it.
