The Piano Men is a musical celebration of the 1970�s- year by year, hit by hit- from the songs of Billy Joel and Elton John.

Dove Award nominee and Juno Award nominee Jim Witter and his band lead an expertly crafter tour of an entire decade that begins with �Your Song� and winds us along on a musical time machine, saluting two of the century�s most popular songwriters.

Utilizing rear-screen projection, we return to the newspaper headlines, the automobiles, the people, the events, the toys and even the TV shows that shaped a decade. Along the way, the sounds of �My Life,� �Candle in the Wind,� �Rocket Man,� �Just the Way You Are,� and many more classic hits create an evening that�s just too much fun to let it end. With Witter at the grand piano and his sizzling musicians on keyboards, guitar, bass, flute, sax and drums, the music is not an attempt to �recreate� or �mimic� the evening�s long list of familiar hits. Instead, Witter unleashes his golden tenor on his after hot to recreate fully-formed mental and emotional return visits to specific landmarks in a pop culture timeline.

If you can remember where you were when Elvis may have died, this show�s for you. If you can smell the interior of your 1973 VW Beetle, you�ll recognise every song.
