Booked as a fundraising gig for a local man diagnosed with a brain tumor, the Beatles vs. Stones gig last fall at the Tin Roof started on a mellow note but gained steam, becoming a full-on jam session. The collaborative spirit and on-stage camaraderie between musicians who don’t normally cross paths impressed everyone in attendance. A hodge-podge of bands comprised of new kids in town and longtime friends handled songs by both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Loose, wild, sloppy, and beautiful, the gathering demonstrated the best side of the local band scene.
