Penn Quarter got its own version of the Cavern Club on Tuesday night as pols and other VIPs turned out for the local release party for the “The Beatles: Rock Band” video game at Gibson Guitar’s Showroom.

Taking up the mantle of John, Paul, George and Ringo were Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., who did a take of “Come Together,” and Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., who ran through “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I’m Looking Through You” with Erik Huey of the Entertainment Software Association.

“Crowley and I had the harmony thing going,” Huey said.

Also on hand: Reps. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-N.J., Bart Gordon, D-Tenn., Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Dennis Moore, D-Kan.
