Help Brent Randall & His Pinecones open for Paul!19.06.09

Brent Randall & His Pinecones have launched a campaign in an effort to open for their hero Paul McCartney in their hometown Halifax, NS. Paul McCartney has been a huge influence on Brent and his Pinecones’ music and aesthetic. The Pinecones often pay tribute to Sir Paul in their live show with covers of “Let Me Roll It” and “Monkberry Moon Delight.” Brent grew up listening to the Beatles, and later Wings and solo McCartney records. It was Paul’s music that made him want to start writing and performing, and still inspires him today. Help them out by joining the facebook group and telling everyone you know to do so as well.
