Neil Candelora (Paul McCartney) Bass Guitar, Piano, Vocals

Hailing from sunny Orlando, Florida but now a resident of cold and snowy Chicago, Neil first started tinkering on the house piano at around age seven. By age 15 he was (feebly) recording songs for his first ever band dubbed The Clergymen. Then came the move to Chicago were life flourished! Neil joined The Ivorys, The Webelos and was a founding member of the RPE group Idealist. The Ivorys, a raucous rock n’ roll trio, has been a Chicago party band staple, and the vast majority of their material is recorded by Neil at Seven Levels Studios. Around the time of joining The Ivorys, Neil began to play with The Fab Four as Paul McCartney. Since then Neil has gone on to play “Paul” with: 1964 the Tribute, Liverpool Legends, The Return, American English, Britains Finest, A Hard Day's Night, and currently Let It Be. He is also a founding member of the Chicago group "Beatlerama."
