Thanks for all the remarks. On another note we will be performing certain shows with Billy Joel band members Mark Rivera, Tommy Byrnes and the All The Horn Section from the Billy Joel's Shea Stadium Concerts. First one coming up Saturday February 18 at Mohegan Sun. Must see.
The comments on here are hilarious. This band is amazing, regardless of who they sound like. If they were a perfect carbon copy of someone else the performances would be flat and lifeless, but like true musicians they interject themselves in the music and it comes to life. If you've seen Billy Joel within the last 5 years or so, the man is going through the motions, he's tired and bored with his own songs, this band is more Joel than Joel. You picky contrarians forget what music is, eat a d.
Yea, I heard the story on this clip. Joel was listening to them play live over a CELL PHONE. You ever try that?
I can't blame them for using that in their promo, its a hell of an endorsement to capitalize on. But it still doesn't take away from the fact that he doesn't sound like Billy Joel. Looking like uncle Fester is a whole other discussion.
@HammernHeads : I honestly have no idea what you're listening to. I have been a songwriter/producer for a long, long time, and have worked with hundreds of vocalists. Needless to say, I have quite an ear, and this guy sounds eerily like the man himself! Heck, Billy even said so! I suggest closing your eyes when you listen...Maybe his look is throwing you off...
@pianyst701 I totally agree with you except for some of Billy's more upbeat songs, like Big Shot. Its a close match, but you can obviously tell its not him. But fair is fair, he sounds almost exactly like him.
Mike is amazing. I remember listening to him at a high school party. Just a keyboard, a harmonica and his voice. Talented man. Better yet a great guy. Good things happen to good people.
I Have been a fan of of these guys since they started, I have seen them perform many many times, If you have not had the chance to see them live, I suggest you go see them perform. It will be an unbelievable Experience I promise
I'm Impressed! I've been doing my own Billy Joel Tribute for about 6 years and I've got to say, You've got it nailed to the wall. Hope to meet you and see one of your shows soon :o) Dale Preston
