The Beatles\u2019 swan song, 1969\u2019s Abbey Road<\/i> is a landmark album. Its legacy and influence have endured in the nearly 55 years since its release. The next installment in the monthly Music to Your Ears discussion series focuses on Abbey Road. It all happens Wednesday, April 3<\/u> at 7pm at Asheville Guitar Bar.<\/b><\/p>\n
BJ Leiderman<\/b> is well-known and acclaimed for several achievements. The Asheville-based musician and composer wrote many of the theme songs for NPR programs including Morning Edition<\/i>, Weekend Edition<\/i>, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!<\/i> and Science Friday<\/i>. He\u2019s also renowned for his 2017 album BJ<\/i>, featuring B\u00e9la Fleck and Randall Bramblett. And those who have encountered the witty Leiderman onstage or off will know that he\u2019s quite the raconteur.<\/p>\n
But what some may not know about BJ Leiderman is that he\u2019s a Beatles fanatic; he counts the fab four as a major influence, and he\u2019s something of an authority on the group and its body of work.<\/p>\n
All of which makes BJ Leiderman an ideal co-host for the April 3 installment in the popular \u201cMusic to Your Ears\u201d discussion series. Moderated by Asheville author, speaker and music journalist Bill Kopp<\/b>, the monthly series is hosted by Asheville Guitar Bar and sponsored by AshevilleFM. And Bill Kopp\u2019s topic for April 3 is the last album that the Beatles recorded together.<\/p>\n
Bill and BJ will lead a discussion of 1969\u2019s Abbey Road<\/i>, and they\u2019ll also spin key tracks and outtakes that help listeners better understand and appreciate the album. There will be live music performance<\/b>, too!<\/p>\n
