New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "Penny Lane", the new release from singer/songwriter Jeff Lake and his classical music compadres in Cellophane Flowers, is available now on hard copy CD at https://cellophaneflowersmusic.com/
The tracks are also available for download on Amazon, the iTunes Store, and for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and all the major music services.
Standout tracks include the title track "Penny Lane", and "Sugar Plum Lucy" -- a delightful fusion of Tchaikovsky with elements of both The
Beatles &
Elton John versions of "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds".
Jeff Lake & Cellophane Flowers put a new spin on the music of The
Beatles by replacing electric guitars with violins & cello for its core sound while adding traces of modern production, acoustic guitar & Lake's smooth vocal delivery. While tracks such as "Penny Lane" take a minimalistic baroque-era approach, others such as "Within You Without You/ Tomorrow Never Knows" are a psychedelic joy ride. And "Honey Pie" will transport you to the bygone era of cabaret & vinyl. Whether you're a Beatle fan or not, this album is a fresh take on music written over 50 years.

Cellophane Flowers is a reinterpretation of Beatlesongs arranged for string quartet & voice. Founded by singer-songwriter Jeff Lake in 2016, the group began by playing venues in NYC such as The Bitter End, & The Slipper Room, before becoming a mainstay with the annual Fest For Beatle Fans. A year later they signed with WBA Records in Nashville and began performing at theaters across the U.S. Cellophane Flowers has a repertoire that includes other classic rock artists, a Xmas show, as well as their own original music. Lake's debut album is expected to follow in the spring of 2021.
