Donovan
will perform an extended set comprising John and Beatles covers,
as well as his own music, after receiving the John Lennon Real Love
Award at the Theatre Within's 36th Annual John Lennon Tribute.
The concert will take place December 2nd at Symphony Space in New York City, and additional performers will be announced soon.
Donovan
shares a long history with the Beatles and John, most notably
traveling with the group to India in 1968 to visit the ashram of
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Along with studying Transcendental Meditation
during the trip, Donovan taught Lennon proper acoustic guitar finger-picking technique.
"I
am delighted to be honored with this year's John Lennon Real Love
Award," Donovan said. "And I am amazed to say that John has written a
song through me inspired by our time together in India, which I will
sing at the Tribute with special guests."
Tickets for the concert will go on sale September 23rd at 1 p.m. ET via the Lennon Tribute website. A limited number of VIP packages will also be available.
