This interesting idea came after Fogel worked with producer Roger Greenawalt’s “Beatles Complete on Ukulele” project (a fave of JamBase’s Associate Editor Dennis Cook, just so ya know). Fogel explains, “After recording a version of The Beatles’ B-side ‘I’ll Get You’ with Roger at his Shabby Road Studios, I performed with Golden Bloom, Guster’s Ryan Miller, The Zambonis and Leah Siegel at the 2nd Annual Beatles Complete on Ukulele Festival held at Brooklyn Bowl this past December.” This pas March Fogel went to SXSW in Austin to play “The Beatles Complete on Ukulele Festival.” Fogel says, “Inspired by Greenawalt’s successful merging of one of the biggest bands in the world with one of the smallest instruments in the world, I decided to use the uke to tackle another major influence of indie musicians across the world: Neutral Milk Hotel.”
Fogel will be playing these nuggets on Friday, May 7 at Arts at the Armory in Somerville, MA.
