Peter Asher: A Musical Memoir featuring the hits of Peter & Gordon
Entertainment legend Peter Asher–whose voice, as one half of Peter
& Gordon, “literally soared through Carnegie Hall” (Fox News)–
brings his 7 piece ensemble to the charming Sutter Creek Theatre!
“…as Mr. Asher regaled a delighted audience with stories… he conjured
history in the making, before it was set in stone.” – Stephen Holden,
New York Times
“…the exuberant Mr. Asher knew anyone who rocked and everyone who mattered.” –Wall Street Journal
“An all-around charming and delightful fellow — he reminisces about
his whole career and it is highly entertaining” – Steve Martin
“Everybody should go and see it — I’ve seen it myself twice” – Linda Ronstadt
“The Man, The Myth, The Legend! …and a true friend! Great wit and
music. A true storyteller! What more could you possibly want? Don’t miss
this!”–Hans Zimmer
“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 presents these timeless classics along with other old
favourites from that golden era.
The show brings the audience through the earliest days of Peter’s
journey all the way to the present day, and projects including his
SiriusXM radio show on the Beatles Channel, “From Me to You” . Peter’s
book based on the show, “The Beatles A to Zed” was released by MacMillan
on October 29, 2019; the book is already in it’s third printing. Peter
takes you behind the curtain of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
ceremony, where he inducted two old friends, the Rolling Stones’ first
manager Andrew Loog Oldham and the Beatles’ Manager Brian Epstein. The
PBS special “Buddy Holly: Listen to Me -The Ultimate Buddy Party” is
still being aired regularly, and its sister CD, “Listen to Me: Buddy
Holly” remains a favorite. His work on soundtracks (“Amazing Spider-Man
2,” “Man Of Steel,” “Rush.”, etc), alongside the legendary Hans Zimmer,
is touched on also, as well as the 2017 “Hans Zimmer Live!” tour of the
USA and Europe that Mr. Asher Directed.
The award winning historic Sutter Creek Theatre is an intimate 215
seat former silent film theatre with superb sound. Voted Best Indie
Theatre multiple times (KCRA A-List).
