Peter Asher: A Musical Memoir of the 60s and Beyond Bearsville Theater Presents In Association with Music Masters Collective. ALL AGES Peter Asher Peter Asher Management Inc. A dazzlingly and intimate show bringing a multimedia experience to the stage with tales from the eye of the cultural hurricane! Peter Asher: A Musical Memoir of the 60s and Beyond   We first came to know Peter Asher through the global smash “World Without Love” as one-half of the British Invasion duo Peter & Gordon. The Bearsville Theater’s Lizzie Vann is proud to present this celebrated show, Peter Asher a Musical Memoir of the 60’s and Beyond as a special matinee. This dazzling and delightful show brings a multimedia experience to the stage, hosted by the two-time Grammy winner for Producer of the Year. Peter Asher moved effortlessly from his role with Peter & Gordon to Music Executive with the Beatles’ Apple Records, then famously, (as in cover of Rolling Stone magazine level famous), to producer and manager, handling the careers of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and a host of others. Books abound, documentaries with half-truths (and worse) are all too common, but, now, finally, Mr. Asher tells first hand his tales from the eye of the cultural hurricane in this intimate show at the beautifully renovated and intimate Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, NY. Showtime is 2:00pm EST, Saturday September 18, 2021, tickets are $40., $55. and $70. and are available at on BearsvilleTheater.com and at the box office at the Bearsville Theater 291 Tinker St. Woodstock, NY 12498.   “Memoir” includes film footage and photos from Peter’s considerable personal archive, brought to life with a storyteller’s gift, transporting audiences back to the heart of 60’s popular culture. Icons such as Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Marianne Faithful, Yoko Ono, Carole King, James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt are among the cast of characters in this narrative – along (of course) with the greatly missed Gordon Waller. The evening is filled with the music of Peter & Gordon, including “I Go to Pieces,” “True Love Ways,” and “Lady Godiva.” The songs given to Peter & Gordon by Paul McCartney are also front and center: “Woman,” “I Don’t Want to See You Again,” Nobody I Know,” and “World Without Love,” all of which were U.S. Top-40 hits. Peter presents these timeless classics along with other favorites from that golden era. Now, in its tenth year, “Memoir” continues to thrill, as the reviews attest. The show brings the audience through the earliest days of Peter’s journey all the way to the present day, and projects including his SiriusXM radio show on the Beatles Channel, “From Me to You.” Peter’s book, based on the show, The Beatles A to Zed, was released by MacMillan on October 29, 2019 and is already in its third printing. Peter Asher is a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (C.B.E.).   Praise for Peter Asher “…as Mr. Asher regaled a delighted audience with stories… he conjured history in the making, before it was set in stone.” – Stephen Holden, New York Times “…the exuberant Mr. Asher knew anyone who rocked and everyone who mattered.” –Wall Street Journal “An all-around charming and delightful fellow — he reminisces about his whole career and it is highly entertaining.” – Steve Martin “Everybody should go and see it — I’ve seen it myself twice.” – Linda Ronstadt “The Man, The Myth, The Legend! …and a true friend! Great wit and music. A true storyteller! What more could you possibly want? Don’t miss this!”–Hans Zimmer Bearsville Theater COVID-19 Policy We at Bearsville Theater are concerned about safety and have been closely watching the spread of the Delta variant of COVID. We strongly urge everyone to become vaccinated if they have not already done so. And once again, as of today August 13, 2021, we must ask guests to wear their masks at all times when inside the theater and not eating or drinking. We often relay live music outside, where there is ample seating, should you prefer to listen to the music maskless. We will continue with our current indoor testing policy, which now applies to EVERY event. We ask for proof of full vaccination and ID prior to entry. We have secured a large stock of rapid COVID tests and ask everyone who forgets their vaccination card to take a test before entry. This takes 15 minutes and costs you what it costs us – $15. We pay for the cost of the nurse to administer the test. If you are unable or unwilling to comply with this need to keep everyone safe, we will refund your ticket if you contact us up to 2 hours before the event.
