Well close enough....The Ultimate Billy Joel Experience via the band Big Shot, with lead vocals and piano by Michael DelGuidice who has an uncanny resemblance to The Man, Billy Joel himself, will be at Siro's Restuarant in Saratoga Springs.
Open since the 1930's and located adjacent to the Saratoga Thoroughbred Track, America's oldest and most distinguished racing venue, Siro's has become one of Saratoga Springs' landmarks.
More recentely noted for, not only it's infamous clientele, but also famous owner's, Kevin Connolly and Kevin Dillion from the HBO series "Entourage."
If you aren't already sold by the location of the venue, the venue itself, or the possibility of spotting E or Johnny "Drama"...here is a little more info about the band.
'Big Shot is a well known and respected Long Island (WOO!) band, and 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.'
For Billy Joel fans this is the spot to be and band to hear. Again shows are on Thursday, August 25th and Friday, August 26th starting at 7pm at Siro's Restaurant in Saratoga Springs located on Lincoln Ave off Nelson Ave.
It was said that Billy Joel had a hard time being convinced he wasn't actually onstage after hearing them perform!
See you there - Love, Uptown Girl.
