A Night of Glorious Musical Chaos:
'LOVE the Music That Binds Us' LIVE at the Duke of George
Alright, kids, listen up. You want a night of music? You’re getting more than you bargained for. On Sunday, December 8th, Shannon Smith and Helen Townsend are going to hijack the Duke of George for a musical rollercoaster that makes regular concerts look like knitting circles. And trust me, this ain’t your grandma’s singalong. We’re talking about a LIVE performance of their LOVE the Music That Binds Us short film, bands swapping songs like musical hot potatoes, and... oh yeah, Dan Wilson narrating the whole crazy thing like it’s some kind of epic saga. You want to miss this? No, you don’t.
First up, Shannon and Helen are going to woo you into a false sense of "aww, that’s cute" with an intimate duo performance. You know, just two talented artists doing their thing—until it’s time for Shannon to kick things into overdrive with the Shannon Smith Band, blasting out tunes from his upcoming album like it’s going out of style (spoiler alert: it isn’t).
Then we’ll take a little break (because let’s face it, you’ll need to rehydrate from all the fun you're having), and BOOM - we launch into the LOVE the Music That Binds Us performance. This is where things get spicy. Helen’s band plays a song, Shannon’s band hits back with another. It’s like musical ping-pong, but with better outfits and way more talent.
Finally, just when you think you’ve got your emotions in check, Helen Townsend & The Wayward Hearts roll in, fresh off their national tour, to finish the night with a set that’ll make your heart skip a beat. Seriously, it’s Helen’s last show before she goes into musical hibernation. So if you miss this one, you’ll be crying into your pillow while she’s off recharging her creative batteries for her next big thing.
Here’s the breakdown, because you need it:
1. Duo performance:
Shannon and Helen, aka the dynamic duo of musical awesomeness.
2. Shannon Smith Band:
Because you need that full-band punch in the face (in a good way).
3. Short break:
Grab a drink. Catch your breath. Wonder how your life was ever this good.
4. LOVE the Music That Binds Us LIVE:
Musical tag-team action as bands swap songs faster than Deadpool dodges bullets.
5. Helen Townsend & The Wayward Hearts:
Closing the night with a bang. Trust us, you’ll feel it in your soul.
