Mama - Genesis Tribute

A tribute evening to the British rock band Genesis, performed by Mama at Hangar34 in Liverpool. The night focuses on the music of a group whose sound moved from progressive rock to pop.

Mama is a tribute act devoted to Genesis, the British rock band formed in 1967 by pupils at Charterhouse school. The group moved from the progressive rock of the early 1970s, with Peter Gabriel as lead singer, to a more pop-oriented sound under Phil Collins, who became their lead vocalist. Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett were also central to their records.

Among Genesis's best-known albums are Selling England by the Pound (1973), The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974) and Invisible Touch (1986). This evening is a tribute to Genesis, so the performers are not the original band.

Hangar34 is a concert and performance venue on Greenland Street in Liverpool. The night suits fans of Genesis and of the pop and rock catalogue the band built over several decades, as well as listeners who want to hear that material performed live by a tribute act.
