Spring Season Highlights:
Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience – April 13, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. “Yesterday and Today” more than just the typical tribute show, crafting a unique, audience-driven journey through The Beatles’ iconic catalog. Brothers Billy, Matthew, and Ryan McGuigan have masterfully designed a performance where the audience dictates the setlist. Attendees are invited to submit their favorite Beatles songs, along with the personal stories connected to those melodies. Moments before the show, these requests are gathered, and the band constructs a spontaneous setlist. Throughout the evening, the McGuigans weave these heartfelt stories with their own experiences of growing up immersed in Beatles music, creating an intimate and ever-changing live experience. This results in a deeply emotional and personalized concert, where each performance is a truly one-of-a-kind celebration of The Beatles’ enduring legacy.

Their musical partnership, born from a meeting at the 2015 Acoustic Music Seminar, has blossomed into a prolific collaboration. Their music reflects a wide range of musical interests, and their dedication to arranging, composing, and performing original works has resulted in multiple albums, with a new release upcoming in spring of 2025.
