How many of you out there have dreams of forming a rock group with your pals playing the music you love? In this episode, members of the Nantucket-based Beatles cover band, Cranberry Alarm Clock, discuss their recent experience traveling to Liverpool to perform at the International Beatle Week Festival.
Band members Phil Proch, Tom Proch, Frankie Hunter, Skip Curtin share their origin story, how they came together as musicians in midlife on Nantucket. They reflect on the importance of community, the joy of playing music, and the strong, ego-free dynamic that defines their group.
They also describe the thrill and pressure of playing at the legendary Cavern Club, and the overwhelming support they received from their local community and from friends and family who traveled to see them.
Covered in the podcast:
- The trend of individuals in midlife picking up artistic pursuits they had set aside for careers and family, using their passion to build new social connections and experiences.
- An emerging path for hyper-local artists to achieve international recognition.
- Success and longevity comes from strong personal dynamics, a lack of egos and a shared focus on having fun.
