Big Shot - A Tribute to Billy Joel January 28, 2011

"It's a homage to me." Mr. Joel said in a telephone conversation from Boston. "Just to think that they can sustain a lot of appearances based on my music is great. "A friend called me and told me to listen to this band that was playing on local TV, and I said 'That's me,' Mr. Joel said "They said 'No, it's this band,' and they had a hard time convincing me it wasn't me. It's uncanny."

BIG SHOT, featuring the amazing vocals and piano of Michael DelGuidice, a well known and respected Long Island multi-instrumentalist. He is backed by one of the most dynamic and seasoned bands in the industry who, in addition to performing in concert with Billy Joel himself and his Broadway musical Movin’ Out, have also worked with Donna Summer, Roger Daltrey of The Who, Richie Blackmore, Tower of Power, Nine Days, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and many more. The band maintains an active concert calendar of over 120 dates a year performing corporate events, colleges, universities, private events, fairs, festivals, and sold out concert halls.

The show is packed with hit after chart-topping hit in a high energy, interactive stage performance. Aside from numerous uncanny renditions of Billy Joel's music, they will also astonish you with songs by Elton John, The Beatles, Journey, Paul McCartney, Marc Cohn, and many others including original songs from Michael’s recently released CD Miller Place. www.michaeldelguidice.com For Billy Joel fans and music fans, the choice is clear.
