The Words & Music of “John Lennon’s Glasses”
A “JOHN LENNON’S GLASSES” EVENT: Equal parts concert, Storytime, and rock ’n’ roll séance, The Words & Music of John Lennon’s Glasses is a live-music infused readers’ theater experience unlike any other. Jim and Kathy Ocean take the stage with guitars, voices, and the spirit of their novel, John Lennon’s Glasses—a surreal, music-soaked adventure that reimagines what might happen if Lennon’s vision for the world didn’t end in 1980.
Through a blend of live readings and original songs—woven directly from the novel’s plot—plus a few timeless Beatles classics, they create an immersive experience that bridges music, storytelling, and imagination.
It’s a funny, poignant, and deeply musical celebration of creativity and connection that taps into nostalgia while stepping boldly into new territory. With the Oceans, you’re not just hearing a concert or attending a reading, you’re joining a journey where music becomes the map, and a pair of glasses changes everything.
