Jacobsen's passion for George Harrison's music shines through as he shares insights into George's struggles within The Beatles and his underrated songwriting talent. The idea for the tribute show originated from Jacobsen's late drummer, Pat Campbell, who envisioned recreating the Concert for George. This year, Jacobsen brings George's music to life, highlighting his significant contributions to music history.
With a deep appreciation for George's artistry, Jacobsen emphasizes the importance of showcasing each singer's strengths and creating a memorable experience for the audience. Through meticulous song selection and artist pairing, Jacobsen ensures that the essence of George Harrison's music is honored and celebrated on stage.
As Jacobsen reflects on the impact of these tribute shows, he emphasizes the sense of community and camaraderie they foster among artists and audiences. By bringing together diverse talents and creating a supportive environment, Jacobsen aims to showcase the richness of Utah's music scene and provide a platform for artists to shine.
Looking ahead, Jacobsen teases future tribute shows dedicated to iconic artists like Radiohead and U2, with a focus on preserving the legacy of musicians who have left a lasting impact on the music world.
