YELLOW BRICK
ROAD:
A TRIBUTE TO
ELTON JOHN
MAY 11 • 8:00
PM
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 not only bears an uncanny resemblance
to the international superstar - complete with gap-toothed smile and
many of his mannerisms - but he recreates Elton John’s vocals and
playing to a tee. Brann captures the essence of the piano man donning
replica costumes and Elton’s trademark sunglasses as he performs one
hit after another 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 of
any generation, Elton John.
