Al Stewart
Al Stewart is a singer-songwriter and folk-rock musician who rose to prominence as part of the British folk revival in the 1960s and '70s. He developed a unique style of combining folk-rock songs with delicately woven tales of characters and events from history. Stewart is best known for his 1976 hit single Year of the Cat and its 1978 platinum follow-up Time Passages, both of which brought him worldwide acclaim. A key figure in British music, Stewart played at the first-ever Glastonbury Festival in 1970, knew Yoko Ono before she met John Lennon, and even shared a London flat with a young Paul Simon. He has released 16 studio and three live albums, and continues to tour extensively through North America and Europe. His latest release is Uncorked.

ROCKET MAN
The Elton John Tribute Show
As featured at Legends in Concert, BB King's Blues Club, House of Blues, Hard Rock and other major venues, ROCKET MAN features Rus Anderson and his three-piece back-up band in an exact re-enactment of an early Elton John concert, featuring gorgeous costumes - in fact, many of the colorful items were actually worn by the legendary rock star. With 100% live music and flashy grand pianos and with ballads and driving rock songs, this show is a blast of pure energy as it spotlights many of Elton's biggest hits: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Crocodile Rock, Tiny Dancer, Daniel, Honky Cat, Bennie and the Jets, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Candle in the Wind, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Rocket Man and more.
