SUMMARY:An Evening of Beatles Music with The Walrus
DESCRIPTION:“The Beatles get a mind-blowing tribute.” \n-RollingStone \n  \nThe Walrus has been faithfully and energetically recreating the music of The Beatles (proper and solo works) since 2002. \nAll members are active recording and touring artists and have been featured in multiple glowing Rolling Stone articles and reviews. \nCore members Spencer Albee\, Zach Jones\, Sean Morin\, Jon Roods\, Anna Lombard\, and Andrew Hodgkins dig in to the music of The Beatles with as much reverence as possible\, and lean in to the rock energy of the live performance. \nIn short\, this is a rock show. \nNo wigs\, no accents\, and just a little too loud. \n \n  \n\nReservations\nTable and blanket reservations are non-refundable\, but can be transferred to another available date in the 2026 season. \nPlease Note: General Admission Donations do not include reserved seating. This is a way to make your gate donation in advance. \nTable reservations seat four.  \nBlanket reservations are placed in the blankets-only area of lawn and do not allow for chair placement. Blankets are roughly 5′ x 5′\, comfortably fitting 2 adults and 1 child.  \nSee you in the park!
