Face 2 Face: A Tribute to Elton John & Billy Joel

Thursday, January 11, 2024 @ 8:00pm



Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC)
100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960

Come celebrate the two greatest “Piano Men” of our generation in this tribute concert featuring David Clark as Billy Joel and Jeff Scott as Elton John, performing hits like “Crocodile Rock,” “I’m Still Standing,” “You May Be Right,” “Piano Man” and much more!

DAVID CLARK

David Clark continues to gain attention and popularity across the country with stunningly accurate piano playing, lead vocals, and an eerily similar stage look to the Piano Man himself while engaging the audience with wit and humor. Having been a part of the Long Island & NY area music scene since 1985, he has carved out a solid reputation as a piano player, singer, and performer at countless private events and concerts around the northeastern tri-state area and beyond. All of these experiences have led him to the present day – staying connected to his piano/vocal roots and his childhood hero by presenting a tribute to the music he loves, from the very singer/songwriter/performer who inspired and motivated him at the age of 10 years old to pursue a life of music…BILLY JOEL!

JEFF SCOTT

A native of Toronto, Canada, Jeff Scott started playing piano at age 7, and studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music for 11 years. His professional career began in the late 1980’s, quickly gaining regular work in local clubs and piano bars. During this time, Jeff also managed to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree from York University. Since 1995 he has toured North America extensively with the band “Bennie and the Jets” – a tribute to Elton John-a band he founded and plays the lead character in.

Along with his strong vocal and piano skills on stage, Jeff is also an accomplished songwriter, penning several songs for himself and others in the custom designed digital recording studio at his home.
