The Beatles Ukulele Style at SXSW

The Beatles are a bit of an inspiration for us--or at least the bands we choose to work with. Truth be told, I'm a sucker for a great pop melody. That said, it seems inevitable that Golden Bloom's Shawn Fogel would participate in the Beatles on Ukulele Party at SXSW this year. And with his good-natured soul being what it is, the multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire stepped in to help the Beatles cover band, The Eggmen, on drums--that is when he wasn't playing the front man for one of The Beatles 180 songs in the catalog. Austin's KXAN offers just a sneak peak of what you could expect from this super pop melody fest. Click Here to Read More..
