Sure, you know the chorus, but do you know the stories behind the song?
It’s no secret that ‘American Pie’ was written by Don McLean to commemorate the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. What’s less known is that this song about 'the day the music died’ is jam-packed with riddles and references to other fascinating events in history.
What led to that tragic night in 1959? How do The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Charles Manson all fit in? Why were the Rolling Stones blamed for a murder? And who was Miss American Pie?
Direct from Harmony House in Hunter River, PEI, Mike Ross and an incredible band of Island musicians will unlock the mysteries behind this classic song in a concert experience that’s been thrilling East Coast audiences for four years and counting. Combining an iconic setlist with remarkable stories, ‘Inside American Pie’ will take you on a musical journey from the ‘50s all the way through the ‘60s. You’ll never hear ‘American Pie’ the same way again.
Featuring:
Mike Ross, Brielle Ansems, Greg Gale, Alicia Toner, Kirk White
Please note - this is not your typical Mirvish play or musical. Instead, this live performance feels more like a concert, featuring a talented band of musicians performing popular hits from the '50s and '60s while sharing stories about the mysteries and meaning behind the iconic songs.
