His show is not just a tribute\, but a celebration of the Piano Man’s legendary sound\, complete with a stage presence and charisma that mirrors Joel himself. \nA lifelong admirer of Billy Joel\, David’s journey began at the age of six when he first picked up the piano. But it was at age 10\, when The Stranger album was released\, that his life was truly transformed. This iconic album ignited his passion and set him on a path to becoming a fixture in the Long Island and New York music scene. Since 1985\, David has been performing throughout the Northeastern Tri-State area\, earning a solid reputation as a skilled piano player\, talented vocalist\, and engaging performer at both private events and large concerts. \nOver the years\, David’s love for Joel’s music has grown stronger\, and it was only natural that he would eventually craft a tribute show to honor his childhood hero. His performances are filled with stunning renditions of Joel’s timeless hits\, and he connects with audiences not only through his musical skill but also through his wit and humor—just like Billy Joel himself. \nDavid has had the rare privilege of performing alongside former members of Billy Joel’s legendary recording and touring bands. In 2013\, he took part in the reunion show “LONG\, LONG TIME\,” which recreated the historic 1972 WMMR Philadelphia Sigma radio concert\, featuring bassist Larry Russell\, drummer Rhys Clark\, and guitarist Don Evans. Additionally\, in 2014\, David performed as the lead singer and piano player at the Long Island Music Hall of Fame induction of the Lords of 52nd Street\, the band that played alongside Billy Joel for decades. David toured as their lead vocalist from 2014 to 2020\, sharing the stage with saxophonist Richie Cannata\, guitarist Russell Javors\, and drummer Liberty DeVitto. \nToday\, David continues to bring the magic of Billy Joel’s music to life through “ALL ABOUT JOEL\,” a tribute that has become a must-see for fans of the Piano Man. When he’s not on stage\, David lives in New Jersey with his wife\, Smooth Jazz trumpet sensation Cindy Bradley\, and their five dogs. \n\n \n\nTickets \n$45 VIP | $37 Balcony | $30 General Admission \nDoors open 6:45pm \n*Does not include convenience or handling fees* \nNo refunds or exchanges \n    \n        \n            Buy Tickets

SUMMARY:Bell Bottom Blues
DESCRIPTION:The Bell Bottom Blues was formed in 2007 with the vision of providing an audience with a true Eric Clapton Experience. Through its evolution\, the band has been carefully constructed to create the essence of the Clapton sound\, from his guitar arrangements to his distinctive vocal sound. This is what separates The Bell Bottom Blues from all others and makes us unique in the market. We have been told time and time again by our audiences and fans that “they close their eyes during a show and could swear that they were actually at a Clapton concert”. This is what we actually set out to achieve. \nThrough each band member’s dedication\, professionalism\, and hard work\, we have captured the sound and essence of the master himself through his various stages\, from Cream\, the Dominoes\, and through his entire solo career. Our EC has captured his guitar styling and\, more importantly\, his exact vocal sound\, which allows us to truly pay tribute to this rock and blues icon. \nOnce again\, our goal is to perform and allow our audiences to really feel like they are participating in an actual EC live event. There is no better satisfaction for us than seeing this actually occur and knowing we have achieved our goal. \nSome notable venues we’ve had the pleasure to play are Iridium NYC\, BB Kings NYC\, City Winery\, Havana’s PA\, New Hope Winery PA\, Mcloone’s Supper Club NJ\, The Stone Pony\, Daryl’s House\, Infinity Theater Ct\, Courthouse Center for Arts Ri\, Count Basie Theater NJ\, Tally Ho Theater VA\, Downtown Cabaret Ct\, Lamp Theater PA\, Paramount Theater NY\, Dean Center PA\, The Amp Theater DC\, Dean Center MA\, Tin Pan VA\, Grand Casino\, Harahas Casino\, Empire City Casino\, Resorts Casino\, Foxwoods Casino\, Hard Rock Casino\, and Outdoor Summer Concert Series along the east. \n\n \n\nTickets \n$35 VIP | $33 Balcony | $30 General Admission \nDoors open 6:45pm \n*Does not include convenience or handling fees* \nNo refunds or exchanges \n    \n        \n            Buy Tickets
