“James & Joel”
JT and Billy Joel were mainstays on radio as I grew up. From piano lessons as a kid before switching to guitar, Taylor and Joel wrote so many songs that you felt like you HAD to learn to play if you wanted to be considered a real musician! In fact, “Sweet Baby James” was the firs song I taught myself to play on guitar.
But unlike many hit makers, these two prolific songwriters kept getting better with age. Their later songs are just as amazing as their early work, making the stories behind these songs all the better.
With “James & Joel,” I take the audience through the stories behind their biggest hits (as well as my favorite deep cuts) from the artists’ own words, and present my take on the timeless classics.
Available in Solo, Duet and Band arrangements in two 70-minute sets.
