From hit after hit to some of Billy's best deep cuts, We May Be Right will have you on your feet, singing along to all the classics and timeless love songs like "Just the Way You Are," "She's Got a Way," "Honesty," and "The Longest Time." Showtime is 8:00pm.

Treat your special someone to a memorable Valentine’s Day experience or gather your friends for a fantastic night out. This powerhouse ensemble led by keyboardist and lead vocalist Karl Dietel, a 20-year music veteran with classical training, delivers a captivating show. Karl, a pianist since age 6, has toured nationally and created the Billy Joel Tribute band, We May Be Right. He’s featured on over 20 Indy CDs, including his 2007 release "Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself."

Joining him are talented musicians Perry Andrews, a saxophonist and Rutgers Jazz Performance graduate; Derek Davodowich, a versatile guitarist and Berklee College of Music graduate; Luke Kessel, a sought-after touring and session player known for his Jazz and Motown/Funk style; and Andy Janowiak, a percussionist, engineer, and arranger who has performed with the late Bernie Worrell.

Tickets range from $35-$45 and are available for purchase online. The Concert Hall at Drew University is located at 36 Madison Avenue in Madison, New Jersey.

The Concert Hall at Drew was inspired by the Berlin Philharmonic.  This 433-seat hall is available for lectures, concerts, or vocal/instrumental recitals and is increasingly in demand for professional audio recording sessions. Recognized for its world-class design and sparkling acoustics, the Concert Hall at Drew University has been in demand by major artists for both recording and performance since it opened in 2005. Among the internationally acclaimed musicians who have performed and recorded in the hall are members of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, which has established an ongoing series in the hall. The Directors of CMS have stated that the Concert Hall at Drew is among the best in which they have performed.
