Dominic from the Blimp Sings Happy Xmas (War is Over) [VIDEO]

The 13th Annual Beatles Night happened on Thanksgiving weekend and WBLM's own Dominic Lavoie has been part of the ensemble for most of them.In years past he has been part of the band for the entire show. This year Dom was a special guest leading the encore with John and Yoko's Happy Xmas (War is Over). We are incredibly proud of our fellow Blimp jock. He really did an amazing job!

Here’s the story of Beatles Night in Portland:

In 2002, Spencer Albee (Rustic Overtones, AS FAST AS, School Spirit Mafia) got together with his friends and played a night of Beatles music at The Big Easy in Portland. The show sold out. 13 years and four larger venues later, this beloved night has grown in to an annual holiday family tradition. Rolling Stone magazine also covered the event in 2013. Now why would an original musician dip into what some people would call “cover band stuff?” The answer is simple. He and his friends LOVE the Beatles.

This year Spencer, with Jonathan Truman (The Band Apollo, Spencer Albee), Sean Morin (The Cambiata, Mai Mai, Sara Hallie Richardson), Jon Roods (Paranoid Social Club, Rustic Overtones), Sara Hallie Richardson and Dan Capaldi (Sea Level) and a host of others played Abbey Road in its entirety.

On stage there are real strings, real horns and anything else they will need to faithfully recreate some of the most beloved recordings of all time. The band is comprised of original musicians, so the songs are played with a sense of reverence and freshness, while still adapting them to the live setting.
