The Castellows - Come Together (Beatles cover), New Orleans Jazz Festival, May 2, 2025

NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL AND FOUNDATION, INC.
The Balkcom sisters (Powell, Ellie and Lily Balkcom) and the gents in the band (aka The Castfellows Justin, Mason, Brad and Blake) play great classic rock covers live - like this ‪@TheBeatles‬ gem Come Together from Abbey Road.

What’s cool about it? First I love the Beatles. Second, each gal gets to sing a verse in this one. Apparently John Lennon wrote a verse for each of the Beatles. That made me think “Rob, which Beatle member are each of the ladies most like?””. Here is my take: Lily is like Paul (plays bass and is a lead singer .. always happy), Ellie is like John (plays guitar and is the elder / leader .. Lily often says she listens to her big “sissy” during show banter). So Powell is like George, quiet and very talented. And George had a great sense of humour too - he funded Monty Python’s movie Life of Brian movie right? Meanwhile Powell has her fun banjo joke! So there, those are my matches.
