IT’S EASY IF YOU TRY IMAGINE (SINGING WITH) JOHN LENNON
Production guru and lighting wizard Richard Borders (The Who, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin) is producing a “labor of magical love,” (his words) with young folk sensation Madison Carr. The project, Imagine John Lennon, features Lenn Johnston (pictured) as Lennon, opposite Carr as herself. They’re planning a full-stage production, but are excited to preview the musical lineup with Carr and Johnston, plus Arvid Smith and Jim Pons (The Turtles, Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention). 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4 at Mudville Grille, St. Nicholas, $10, raylewispresents.com.
