“Absolutely Brilliant!! I've been listening non-stop. What an amazing job of paying homage to Lennon and the Beatles and creating music that has so much of your own style and class. I can't wait to go on the radio and start spinning tunes from it. Album of the year!!!!!”
- Ron Olesko - WFDU FM

One of the most unique and compelling interpretations of the late John Lennon's compositions comes from The Nu-Utopians (formerly The John Lennon Song Project), a 7 piece ensemble created and led by Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step and Tom Dean of Devonsquare. Together they have produced a thoughtfully re-imagined tribute that celebrates the genius and artistry of the icon's music.

The show features entertaining storytelling, and like the band's CD Imagined, superb lead singing and 3-part harmonies, plus a host of talented musicians on acoustic, electric and bass guitars, cello, violin, mandola, accordion, chromatic harmonica and light percussion. In a series of singles and mini-medleys, the band's arrangements frequently involve weaving melody, lyric and song together in new and unexpected ways.

Imagined recently won the Independent Music People's Choice Award for Best Tribute Album of 2010, and the band is currently recording their second album, much of which is featured in the show.
