Update: Due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, Bay Street Theater and Sag Harbor Center for the Arts (baystreet.org) has canceled all weekend events from now through the end of March. Education classes and workshops will not be affected and will proceed as scheduled. Anyone with tickets should call the box office at 631-725-9500 to either donate or exchange tickets for another performance later this year.

Having faithfully covered the music of The Beatles for decades, The Moondogs come to Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Friday, March 13, and Saturday, March 14, at 8 p.m. to present a live performance of the Fab Four’s White Album.

In their current lineup, the band performed their first live concert at Bay Street in 2014, celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ 1964 arrival in the United States. In the years since, their special, limited-edition, two-night shows marking the anniversaries of other Beatles recordings and milestones have grown into a well-anticipated annual event.

In 2017, the band performed “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and in 2018, returned to Bay Street to perform the music of the late George Harrison in celebration of what would have been his 75th birthday. In 2019, they performed both “Let It Be” and “Abbey Road.” Now, eager fans and Beatles fanatics will have the chance to hear their re-creation of the wide-ranging masterpiece known as “The White Album.”

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 Howard Silverman. In keeping with the style of The Beatles’ legendary harmonies, many of the band members contribute as vocalists.

The two-day concert event is being presented in conjunction with Hamptons Arts Network’s 2020 “Thaw Fest.” Tickets $30 in advance ($40 day of show) at baystreet.org or 631-725-9500.
