Long Island's Premier Billy Joel Tribute

PIANO MAN brings the timeless music of Billy Joel to the stage in a live concert experience celebrating one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time. Led by pianist and vocalist Doug Leax, PIANO MAN captures the sound, spirit, and excitement of Billy Joel’s legendary live performances while keeping the focus where it belongs — on the music.

Backed by a full live band featuring piano, guitar, bass, drums, and saxophone, the show recreates the powerful arrangements, unforgettable melodies, and signature New York sound that have made Billy Joel’s music a part of generations of fans’ lives.

The show goes well beyond the obvious hits. Audiences can expect favorites including “Piano Man,” “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” “New York State of Mind,” “Movin’ Out,” “My Life,” “Big Shot,” “Only the Good Die Young,” “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me,” and “You May Be Right,” alongside fan favorites and deeper cuts such as “Miami 2017,” “Captain Jack,” “Vienna,” “Zanzibar,” “The Stranger,” and more.

From the opening notes to the inevitable crowd sing-along of “Piano Man,” the goal is simple: give audiences the feeling of spending a night celebrating Billy Joel’s incredible catalog with a band that genuinely loves playing this music.

Based on Long Island, New York — the place Billy Joel has always called home — PIANO MAN is available for theaters, concert series, festivals, wineries, special events, and other venues looking for more than background entertainment.
