Paul Moeller is performing at Abbey Road on the River, at the Brian Epstein stage for original acts with the band Digby, whose members live in Louisville. Paul is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist.
Digby is an alt-rock band, and they'll do a lot of their stuff but about 25 to 50 percent of their numbers will be Beatles tunes: "Piggies," "Savoy Truffle," "Free as a Bird," "Paperback Writer" and "She's a Woman."
Paul says they went for the B sides, or unconventional songs.
When asked about how important the Beatles were to him as a musician, Paul said, when he was a kid, any road trips they took, parents played Beatles tunes. He owns a copy of Newsweek the week John Lennon was shot and his picture was on the cover. It's been a part of his life ever since he could remember.
This is his first performance here. Digby has been geared up for the last month and a half.
They'll play Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 9 p.m. and Sunday at 8:30 p.m.
Gina, Paul's wife, used to have an enormous crush on George Harrison when she was a kid. She figures that's why she married a musician. She says you can't be a fan of music and not like the Beatles.
