Marrakesh Express @ the Beverly Arts Center

Being able to see Marrakesh Express perform is always a great experience. They show passion for what Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young gave us. That passion brings back our memories of good times. Simpler times in retrospect. Yet serving a purpose in each song's time period.

This evening I also photographed the band load-in and sound check. I also took some photos of the band themselves. A bunch of characters to say the least. A bunch of fun loving friends to say the most. Each with a heart of gold. Those photographs are at the end of the blog.

As I bounced around the venue for photo ops, I felt the energy of those attending. They were all fans of the band, of the music, of the Beverly Arts Center. Each location I photographed from I heard conversations of praise for the band. People videoing on their cell phones. People dancing in their seats. Arms waiving. Total smiles in the hearts from all.

Yes, you do have to give thanks to Crosby Stills Nash and Young for making such a huge impact on our lives, and on history. Marrakesh Express - a CSNY experience, does them an honor staying true to not just the music, but also the vibe the music was intended to give us, with their stage presence, communication with the audience, and being themselves.

Thank you guys, and thank you Beverly Arts Center, for providing the good vibes to us.

Programming and courses in Dance, Visual Arts, Music, Film, and Theater are available at the Beverly Arts Center (BAC). Currently in the Art Gallery is "This Living Earth - Our Shared Gaia". This is where I took some of the band photographs.

The School of Fine Arts is also in session, from March 18th thru May 23rd. Then is their Youth Theatre Company performing April, May, and August 2024.

Support the Arts, Entertainment, and the education that surrounds them, no matter where you find it. This is our legacy, our purpose, our culture.

Here are some random photographs I took of BAC, only because.
