Wes Banderson - Bristol

A tribute show in Bristol devoted to the film music of Wes Anderson, performed live by a five-piece band at The Jam Jar. The evening features no performance by the director himself.

This is a tribute to the music of Wes Anderson's films, not a performance by Wes Anderson. A five-piece band plays pieces drawn from the original scores of the films and from less familiar song selections heard in them. The programme covers soundtracks from Rushmore, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Moonrise Kingdom, The Darjeeling Limited and Fantastic Mr. Fox, among others.

The works are by composers including Mark Mothersbaugh, Alexander Desplatt, Sven Libaek, Shankar-Jakishan and Maurice Ravel. On stage, the musicians wear Team Zissou uniforms, switch instruments between pieces, and are accompanied by live visuals.

The Jam Jar is a venue in Bristol that hosts concerts and shows. The evening is aimed at fans of Wes Anderson's films who want to hear their soundtracks played live by a band.
