Join Walter Everett, Professor of Music at the University of Michigan, for an analysis of the Beatles iconic album. 

Professor Everett is the author of the two-volume study, The Beatles as Musicians, and of The Foundations of Rock, all of Oxford University Press. He is currently coauthoring two books: one, with Tim Riley, a textbook aimed at undergraduates not majoring in music that contextualizes the Beatles within the cultural events and attitudes that they helped shaped, and another book with Katie Kapurch on sex and gender in rock music. In addition to editing or co-editing three other books of analytical essays on popular music, Everett has published more than thirty book chapters and articles on rock music from Elvis to Beck, as well as other analytical papers on Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and the nineteenth-century song. He has presented keynote talks to national and international meetings in Liverpool, Nashville, Rochester, Finland, and Germany, and has spoken at dozens of conferences and universities from Vancouver to Salzburg to Canberra.

The Fab Faux will return to the Michigan Theater on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at 8 PM to perform Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in its entirety.
