Live From Laurel Canyon Presents Lennon & Nilsson, Songs from the Lost Weekend Tucson, April 2025
Lennon & Nilsson: Songs from the Lost Weekend is a captivating tribute to two of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, John Lennon and Harry Nilsson. In 1973, after The Beatles’ breakup, Lennon found himself in Los Angeles, embarking on what he famously referred to as his "Lost Weekend." This 18-month period was marked by both creative brilliance and personal mischief, with Lennon forming a close friendship and collaboration with American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson.
This show dives deep into their individual catalogs, their creative influence on each other, and the music they produced together during this time. With a mix of storytelling and live performances, the show highlights the unique blend of Lennon’s raw, reflective songwriting and Nilsson’s quirky, melodic style. Narrated and performed by Brian Chartrand (known for his work with Live from Laurel Canyon, The Sweet Remains, and James & Joni), the performance features a talented band including Otto D’Agnolo, Todd Chuba, Lamar Gaines, Adam Armijo, and Mario Mendivil. Through powerful vocals, instrumental arrangements, and insightful narration, Lennon & Nilsson brings the stories of this wild, creative period to life, making it accessible to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
This tribute is not just a celebration of two legends but also a reflection on the impact they had on each other’s music and the rock and pop landscape during the 1970s. Fans of Lennon and Nilsson will appreciate the deep dive into their most memorable songs and the lesser-known moments that shaped their artistry.
