Here Comes the Sun: Live Event

A live performance exploring the musical and spiritual journey of George Harrison.

A variety of presentation options are available for live events and offer a very special perspective on George’s life and music. Whether it be solely for entertainment purposes, historical appreciation, enrichment of a spiritual retreat, or enlightenment at a business conference, a Here Comes The Sun presentation is a memorable and moving choice. Performances are most enjoyable, serve as an important awareness tool, and welcome reminder of social consciousness for all.

Presentation opportunities include Joshua Greene’s stellar narration, rare film and photos, and the musical talent of international touring artists, The Godfrey Townsend Band.

Statement of Purpose

George Harrison was admired for his commitment to spirituality, which he believed could improve lives and protect the planet. His post-Beatles songs reflect that conviction and are as relevant today as they were thirty years ago. Through music, visuals and commentary about his journey of self-discovery, these tribute events honor George Harrison, his music and his principles.
