The Ensemble Connection

Looking at the photo on our March 9th posting, you may wonder what the Acoustic Humans have to do with the Old Town School of Folk Music's Beatles Ensemble. Good question - and easily answered. The Acoustic Humans are also active members of the Ensemble, which is where we first met. The Beatles Ensemble, run by the venerable maestro Steve Levitt (http://www.grandpuba.net/), is both a class and a performing band. Tom has been a member of the Ensemble since 2003, Jenny since 2000, and Bryan since 1996, making him one of the Ensemble forefathers. Note his long beard and sage look.

Each of the Acoustic Humans has also performed with other ensemble classes at the Old Town School at various times over the years. Among these ensembles are the Beach Boys, Jackson Browne, Yes, Lucinda Williams, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Led Zeppelin, Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, Lyle Lovett, Frank Zappa, and the Monkees. An eclectic mix to be sure, but that's just how multi-faceted we are.

Yet, our hearts always reside with the Beatles, and the Beatles Ensemble remains our foundation at the school. For fun, see if you can find each of us in the Sgt. Pepper cover below featuring the 40 + members of the Ensemble. Lots of luck!
