UnderCover Presents worked with over 100 artists from 13 Bay Area ensembles to pay homage to The Beatles’ 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' - one of the most iconic albums in the history of recordings. Music Directing and co-curating this lineup is Joe Bagale - multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer. Each of the 13 ensembles is from a different genre (ranging between Hip Hop to Orchestral) and is arranging one (1) song from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Every group is highly encouraged to put their own sound and personality into their rendition. The result is a showcase of thirteen (13) ensembles who performed the album in its entirety live at The UC Theatre in Berkeley on June 3, 2017 - 50 years after the original album’s debut.
"UnderCover productions have become storied, stylistically encompassing events that maximize the talent pool by limiting each act to a single song." - SF Chronicle
"...there are some performances you'll be talking about for the entire year."- SF Weekly
"...a vast, all-encompassing experience. We watched as the musical territory staked out got larger and larger, and the connection between making music and going to concerts got closer and closer. In short: It was great." - The Bay Bridged
"Beyond the racial and gender divides" - KPFA 94.1 FM
"Building Bridges" - Oakland Magazine

Look this album is great and this project was so cool but I'll never not be disappointed by the cover of Jeff Davis County Blues. Rest is incredible though. Chronically Truant
