Paul McCartney Performs At Hudson House In Jersey City (Video)

JERSEY CITY, NJ —Sir Paul McCartney performed in Jersey City Saturday night.

The former Beatles songwriter, guitarist, and singer got on stage and performed "I Saw Her Standing There" at Hudson House. McCartney co-wrote the No. 1-song with the late Beatle, John Lennon.

McCartney's wife, Nancy Shevell, co-hosted the event for her Elizabeth-based company, New England Motor Freight (NEMF), said Maddy Cretella, marketing director of Landmark Hospitality, which owns Hudson House. Shevell hosted the event. Shevell is a member of NEMF's board of directors.

"Everything about it was incredible, especially his impromptu performance," a post on Hudson House's Instagram account said Sunday.

Videos of the performance popped up on Facebook and YouTube, including on the Beatles Magazine's Facebook page. A video of the performance posted by someone who was at the performance was viewed more than 11,000 times on Facebook.

Another video from the party features McCartney and Shevell dancing to Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love."

"We were honored that the McCartney family selected one of our Landmark Hospitality properties for their celebration," Cretella said. "Paul McCartney, his wife and their entire staff were all a pleasure to work with, and we hope to continue this tradition of creating memories with them."
