Elton John & Billy Joel Tribute to Play the Suncoast Showroom, 10/24

Piano Men: A Tribute to Sir Elton John & Billy Joel brings the hits of two musical powerhouses to the Suncoast Showroom Oct. 24.

The Piano Men tribute offers a night of songs, energetic performances, outrageous costumes and true rock 'n' roll. Sir Elton John and Billy Joel tribute artists - Jeffrey Allen and Matthew Banks - respectfully capture the prowess of the legendary musicians throughout the interactive show.

Just like the original tour, each artist will perform a solo set with a backing band. The show culminates with a "Face to Face" set, where the artists share the stage with two pianos and trade off lyrics on each song they perform. The show captures the performers' piano skills and outrageous costumes throughout their respective careers.

As Sir Elton John, Allen has been recognized for his entertainment prowess and his unbelievable recreation of Elton's outrageous costumes. Banks's mastery of Billy Joel's sounds and finger work is dazzling, showing what a prodigious piano player Billy Joel is with songs like "Root Beer Rag" and "Angry Young Man."

Showtime begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $15.95, plus tax and fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming box office, by calling 702.284.7777, or visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.
