With a repertoire of almost every major hit, no two BJT shows are the same. Hear his early career hits like Piano Man, Captain Jack and New York State of Mind, classics like Uptown Girl, Only the Good Die Young and Movin Out, and his most recent hits like River of Dreams and Baby Grand (recorded with the late Ray Charles). With decades of hits to his credit, Billy Joel is one of the most adored artists of all time and the Billy Joel Tribute experience brings all those hits to you.

At the heart of BJT is Mike Renna, a highly accomplished singer and piano player. Mike studied music at the famous Berklee College of Music in Boston, a significant distinction among professional musicians, revered for its highly selective admissions and the exceptional performers it produces. The alumni list is long and distinguished including musical greats like Quincy Jones, Steve Vai, Branford Marsalis, Melissa Etheridge and many, many more. The school offered Mike the ability to learn from the best, often attending master classes given by some of the top artists in the industry. The end result is a performer with not only mastery of his instruments, but an uncommonly engaging style. During his tenure in Boston, Mike continued to refine his skills on stages throughout the northeast, performing an unbelievable 600+ gigs in three years.

Years of comparisons to the piano man, an unparalleled familiarity with his music, and repeated encouragement by fans, agents and musical peers led Mike to create the project. BJT was modeled precisely after a Billy Joel show, including the same instrumentation, and, of course, a grand piano!
