The Music Men: The Music of Billy Joel & Elton John

The Kamloops Symphony’s next concert is their first Kelson Group Pops show of the season. The Piano Men: The Music of Billy Joel & Elton John will see the Orchestra pay homage to two of the greatest Rock ‘n Roll pianists of our time. There are two performances of this multi-media rock spectacle: Friday, October 28, and Saturday, October 29, both at 7:30 pm in Sagebrush Theatre.
Returning to Kamloops to join the Orchestra is Jim Witter and his band, who helped KSO audiences get Feelin’ Groovy in a tribute to the music of Simon & Garfunkel in 2019. Jim Witter has been entertaining crowds for over 30 years. Whether it is his original music or the many artists he pays tribute to, Jim’s versatility as an artist has allowed him the opportunity to reach out and hare his music and infectious personality with audiences of all ages across North America, the UK, Dubai, and the Netherlands.
Says KSO Music Director Dina Gilbert, “Following the great success of the show Feelin’ Groovy, we are very excited to welcome back Jim Witter and his band to celebrate the music of the 1970’s with a succession of hits by Billy Joel and Elton John.”
Jim Witter came up with the concept for “The Piano Men” back in 2001. The show has turned out to be a huge hit, receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences alike across North America. Featuring hits like Your Song, My Life, Candle in the Wind, Rocket Man, and Just The Way You Are, Jim Witter and the Kamloops Symphony will take you on a musical trip through the 70s, hit by hit.
