This is more than a tribute - from the costumes, to climbing on the top of the grand piano just like the man himself, this is a recreation of Elton John.
A trained jazz pianist, Gerald Brann, has been a lifelong Elton John fan. Brann and his five-piece band evoke audience participation throughout the entire show - whether singing along to "Rocket Man" and "Your Song", swaying to "Candle in the Wind", or hopping and bopping to "Crocodile Rock."
With a nod from the man himself, Gerald Brann was granted permission to use Elton John's own orchestral scores to perform with the Augusta Symphony Orchestra. In addition, Brann and Yellow Brick Road have been endorsed by Hercules, the International Elton John Fan Club, and have played extensively throughout the world.
This event is a fundraiser for the Hackettstown Rotary Club. The Hackettstown Rotary is a group of professionals with a dedicated focus on making positive changes to the community. Throughout the year the Hackettstown Rotary holds different fundraisers to help give back to the community and make a difference. The proceeds from this event will go towards the Hackettstown Rotary Club’s ability to fund their community projects throughout the year.
