Bill Frisell

Hillman Center for the Performing Arts, Fox Chapel, PA the official name for the show was "Bill Frisell Explores the Music of John Lennon," and that pretty much sums it up. Guitarist Frisell did solo instrumental interpretations of Lennon's songs, both Beatles and solo. As a known Beatles fanatic, I was invited to give a pre-show presentation on the backstories to several Lennon compositions for The Beatles. The night was a lot of fun all around.

Technically, Lisa Hannigan's earlier set was a separately-billed performance, but I'm counting her as an opening act here.     Lisa Hannigan Prior to the show, Hansard came to WYEP for an interview which I was glad to have conducted.       Glen Hansard setlist (according to this source ): The Storm, It's Coming Maybe Not Tonight Talking With the Wolves Love Don't Leave Me Waiting Philander Low Rising When Your Mind's Made Up Bird of Sorrow Leave In These Arms Astral Weeks High Hope Fitzcarraldo This Gift (encore break) Say It to Me Now Gold O Sleep (with Lisa Hannigan) Falling Slowly (with Lisa Hannigan) Who Knows Where the Time Goes?
