(MAHWAH, NJ) -- Raise a toast to a legend. Celebrate Les Paul's 111th birthday with an unforgettable Les Paul & Mary Ford Tribute at The Mahwah Museum performed by Tom & Sandy Doyle on Saturday, June 7, 2026 at 2:00pm. Cake will be served as they toast the birthday.
This isn't a standard tribute set—it's an inside-the-music afternoon with two artists who know the story firsthand. Stick around for a 30-minute audience Q&A and ask the questions you've always wanted to ask about Les—his sound, his inventions, and the nights that made music history.
World-renowned luthier, sound engineer, and master guitarist, Tom Doyle served as Les Paul's personal guitar technician, live-sound engineer, and close confidant for over 45 years from the mid-1960s until Les's passing in 2009. He was the trusted hand behind Les's instruments and experiments, and a key part of the legendary NYC residencies at Fat Tuesday's and the Iridium.
Tickets are $25 per person in advance, and $30 at the door. Tickets are available for purchase online. The Mahwah Museum is located at 201 Franklin Turnpike in Mahwah, New Jersey.
Mahwah Museum Members and Students receive $5 off with their discount code. Not sure if you're a member? Contact [email protected] to find out.
