There is no other performer who looks
and sounds so much like Elton John, nor any tribute act that provides
the experience of being at an Elton John concert the way Gerald Brann
and Yellow Brick Road do. Brann captures the essence of the piano man
donning replica costumes and trademark sunglasses playing hit after
hit with remarkable likeness to the pop icon. The band evokes
audience participation throughout the show – whether singing along to
“Rocket Man” and “Your Song,” swaying to “Candle in the Wind,” or
hopping and bopping to “Crocodile Rock.” This is more than a tribute;
this is a recreation of one of the most loved performers, Elton John.
