Event Details

‘Here Comes The Sun’ showcases much loved Australian singer songwriter Wes Carr interpreting George Harrison’s songbook – taking on such chart topping classics as ‘My Sweet Lord’ and ‘What is Life’, and The Beatles classic ’Something’, a song which Frank Sinatra deemed 'the greatest love song ever written’.

George Harrison wasn't just the 'quiet Beatle' who played lead guitar for the most celebrated and influential band the world has ever seen. George was an innovator, arguably more so than John Lennon and Paul, McCartney, questioning life and reality, always searching for something deeper and in doing so, introducing the culture and traditions of the east to the west. Most famously, George Harrison collaborated with Ravi Shankar and embraced the practice of Transcendental Meditation, the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

The connection with George Harrison has played a significant role in Wes's life, the singer songwriter explaining, 'If it wasn't for George, I wouldn't have started Transcendental Meditation 5 years ago, the practice played a large part in my recovery from depression. To me, George was a spiritual leader in his own way, as he was a guiding light for so many. Through his music he questioned life and challenged modern day thought. As The Beatles were falling apart and breaking up, George was finding himself through his many personal voyages around the world, mainly to India. I believe he became a vessel to expose the world to ancient traditions, spiritual practices and musical sensibilities that Westerners may not have come across otherwise. The times certainly were 'a changing' and George was at the forefront of a global shift that today still rings true for so many. I believe George's music has more relevance now than it ever did - for all of these reasons, I knew I had to pay homage to the work of George Harrison through a live show'.

Please note that Wes Carr presents Here Comes The Sun is not endorsed by or connected with the estate of George Harrison or the Harrison family.
