Musicians like Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Jason Scheff of Chicago, Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, Joey Molland of Badfinger and Denny Laine, founding member of The Moody Blues and Wings will put their spin on the Beatles tune they know and you love on March 6 at NYCB Theatre in Westbury during the "It Was 50 Years Ago Today: A Tribute to The Beatles" tour.
According to the website, the artists will perform Fab Four classics like “Norwegian Wood,” “Drive My Car,” “In My Life,” “Eleanor Rigby,” “Taxman” and more. These musicians will also serve up some of their own hits, from Todd Rundgren's "I Saw the Light," Christopher Cross' "Sailing," Badfinger's "No Matter What."
"The Moody Blues met The Beatles in the early '60s and were invited to join them on their second British tour," Denny Laine says in the concert's promotional material. "The thought of performing some of their classic songs with such a revered cast on this tour will bring back not only those moments in time, but also fond memories as a member of Wings. I trust that we will pay due credit to their timeless legacy by bringing back that music to everyone who joins us for this special ride."
While you rock out you can also help end hunger.

Rock CAN Roll and The NYCB Theatre at Westbury have been working together for 17 years, raising awareness and collecting healthy non-perishable foods for people and pets. Concert goers are encouraged to bring much needed food to donate for Long Islanders in need of food and who think they’ve been forgotten.
Rock CAN Roll is a charity hunger relief organization and think tank. Their message is “Help Out While You Rock Out,” collaborating with rock concerts, schools, corporations, and private individuals to collect healthy non-perishable food and basic necessities for distribution to local agencies and into the hands of children, seniors and families who live with hunger and in poverty.
