The third annual Les Paul Birthday Gala will be held on Saturday, June 14; doors open at 7 p.m.
This special event will celebrate what would have been the 99th birthday of Les Paul, the long time Mahwah resident. It will take place in the Trustee Pavilion at Ramapo College in Mahwah.
The festivities include a live auction of some very special guitars, featuring a Hofner bass guitar just like the one that Paul McCartney has played since his early years with the Beatles. The guitar has a pick guard with an authenticated autograph of Sir Paul himself!
The gala event will also include a raffle of three very special guitars. For the cost of a $25.00 raffle ticket you will have a chance to win one of two beautiful new Les Paul “Traditional” sunburst guitars, with pick guards signed by Les Paul. The third prize is a Fender Squire Strat signed on the body by the legendary singer songwriter James Taylor.
The Gala will also include live entertainment by Bucky Pizzarelli, Ed Laub and longtime Les Paul Trio member, guitarist Lou Pallo. There will also be a silent auction with an assortment of Les Paul memorabilia.
