    Today's guest is Jann Haworth, a fine artist who worked on the cover for The Beatles’ 1967 release, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Jann shared her story of getting into art, moving to England, meeting The Beatles, and the process of working with Peter Blake and the band on the conceptualization and execution of the iconic cover. It goes without saying that I’m extremely excited and honored to have have Jann on to discuss what may be the most recognizable cover of all time. She was a great guest and a pleasure to speak to, so I thank her immensely for taking the time to share her story.
