Paul McCartney: The Early Years with The Moondogs

Paul McCartney: The Early Years

A celebration of the legendary musician's 80th birthday

with The Moondogs

The Moondogs have been faithfully covering the music of the Beatles for decades. The current incarnation of the band had its genesis right here at Bay Street Theatre, at a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ 1964 arrival in America.

Their special limited-edition Beatles shows have since become an annual event. In 2017, it was Sgt. Pepper LIVE with a full horn section and multimedia show. For 2018, George Harrison's 75th Birthday. In 2019, all of both Let It Be and Abbey Road, and The White Album in 2021. And to celebrate his 80th birthday, it’s Paul McCartney, the Early Years in 2022!

The Moondogs is made up of keyboardist Fred Gilde, guitarist Mick Hargreaves, keyboardist Dan Koontz, bassist Joe Lauro, guitarist Michael Schiano, guitarist Jeff Levitt, and drummer Mark Pohl. In keeping with the style of The Beatles’ legendary harmonies, many of the band members contribute as vocalists.
