Eggy Covers The Beatles With Certainly So’s Tanner Gray In Birmingham

Eggy swung through Birmingham, Alabama on Tuesday. Their fall tour stop at Saturn saw the four-piece welcoming guitarist Tanner Gray for a Beatles cover.

Eggy — guitarist Jake Brownstein, bassist Mike Goodman, drummer Alex Bailey and keyboardist Dani Battat — loaded their first set in Birmingham with originals, kicking things off with “Here and Now” and including favorite “A Moment’s Notice.” The band wrapped the first frame with a cover of Elton John‘s “Bad Side Of The Moon.”

Set two commenced with “Atomic Age,” which saw the band harkening back to their tour with Bruce Hornsby by adding elements of his “Candy Mountain Run.” Guitarist Tanner Gray, a Birmingham native and member of Nashville band Certainly So, emerged as “Atomic Age” headed into The Beatles “Tomorrow Never Knows.”

Battat led the band through “Tomorrow Never Knows” with Gray adding slide guitar embellishments on the psychedelic Beatles song that closes their 1966 album Revolver. Brownstein and Gray also traded riffs on the tune.
