Seattle Rock Orchestra music director Scott Teske sure knows how to conduct a good time. After curating a talented ensemble of musicians to perform Arcade Fire songs at Sasquatch this summer, he has now turned his attention to the Beach Boys landmark sonic calling card, Pet Sounds. Conjuring up original producer Phil Spectors legendary wall of sound aural aesthetic is a formidable challenge, but if anyone can do it, its Teske and his cast of local luminaries, which this time around includes Redwood Plan leader Lesli Wood, local songwriting duo Ivan & Alyosha, and milk-and-honey toned vocalist Michele Khazak.
