FACE 2 FACE Elton John & Billy Joel Tribute Show

Taking turns at an onstage piano, the dual tribute artists conjure the beloved songsters in both sound and image. The artists aim to channel the spirit of the originals that audiences will forget they’re part of a tribute!

Backed by his band The Stranger, New York native Mike Santoro’s fingers flash up and down the keys before he jumps up to grab the mic to belt out such high-energy BILLY JOEL classics as“Uptown Girl” and “Onlythe Good Die Young.”

Ronnie Smith dons the iconic sunglasses and bedazzled suits of ELTON JOHN as he charts his style from the ‘70s to the present. Bittersweet anthems such as “RocketMan (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time)”mix with more whimsical material such as“Crocodile Rock”and the fictional rock-group narrative “Bennie and the Jets.”
