Billy Joel & Elton John Tribute Billy Joel Tribute Act from Chicago, IL

“Billy & Elton: The Hits” brings all of the biggest songs to life by Billy Joel and Elton John in one incredible tribute concert! Sing along to all your favorites including songs by both Billy Joel (My Life, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Just the Way You Are, Uptown Girl, New York State of Mind, Movin’ Out) and Elton John (Bennie & The Jets, Crocodile Rock, Daniel, Your Song, Rocket Man) – and of course no tribute to these legends would be complete without ending the night with Piano Man! Bringing this show to life is internationally acclaimed Kawai-endorsed touring pianist and vocalist, Phil Thompson, who has performed this show across the globe at venues including Mandalay Bay and Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand in Macau, and many of the globe's top sporting events including the US Open Tennis Tournament (New York), the Rogers Cup (Toronto), the China Open (Beijing) and the Wendy's 3 Tour Challenge (Las Vegas). Phil has also performed this concert on dozens of cruises (Holland America, Princess, and Royal Caribbean) including on the “Wine, Dine & Music Cruise” as spotlighted on USA Today with Kenny Loggins and Three Dog Night. This show can be fully delivered with all audio and lighting production and can be performed with as large as an all-live 9-piece band and as small as a duo (piano & sax) with custom backing tracks – and everything in between.
