A tale of 2 McCartneys: What happens when a tribute band and Sir Paul book Syracuse ...
For a brief moment in time, Syracuse was going to host two Paul McCartneys on the same night.
A Paul McCartney tribute band had booked a gig at one of Syracuse’s biggest stages on June 4. Then, last month, the real McCartney announced he’d be playing Syracuse this year as well. The date? June 4.
One of them had to blink, and it wasn’t going to be Sir Paul.
“Paul’s certainly not going to move his,” said Tony Kishman, frontman for the tribute band “Live and Let Die.”
So Kishman has rescheduled his show. That way, he said, McCartney die-hards can catch both concerts.
The original McCartney will play on June 4 at the Carrier Dome, and Kishman’s “Live and Let Die” band will play a couple of months down the line on Oct. 22 at the Oncenter.
