The Billy Joel Songbook

With "The Billy Joel Songbook", Elio Pace and his great band celebrate the legendary US musician with a unique mix of pop, rhythm and blues, jazz and rock 'n' roll. The audience can look forward to a rousing musical journey with more than 30 fantastic songs by Billy Joel - including hits such as "The Longest Time", "She's Always A Woman", "An Innocent Man", "Uptown Girl", "Tell Her About It", "The River Of Dreams", "We Didn't Start The Fire" and "Piano Man".

As a singer/songwriter, pianist, producer and arranger, Elio has performed with a wide range of stars including Brian May, Huey Lewis, Glen Campbell, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Lulu, Mike Rutherford, Don McLean, Tom Chaplin, Debbie Reynolds and Martha Reeves, to name a few.

The late British radio presenter Sir Terry Wogan was also a huge fan and described Elio as "simply sensational". In 2010, Elio Pace was the musical director of Wogan's hugely popular programme 'Weekend Wogan' on BBC Radio 2 and appeared as a featured artist on all 35 shows that year. Huey Lewis agrees: "Elio is great... I'm a huge fan". And Brian May of Queen sums it up: "Elio rocks". They all - as well as audiences around the world - are amazed by his soulful voice and exceptional piano playing.

In 2013 and 2014, Elio Pace had a very special pleasure: he was invited to follow in Billy Joel's footsteps and perform at five reunion concerts in the USA with Joel's original touring band from 1971-72.

Following the huge success of these shows, Elio embarked on the debut tour of 'The Billy Joel Songbook' which toured the UK sold out theaters.

In 2019, Elio's sensational concert film "The Billy Joel Songbook Live" won "Best Overall Long Form Music Video" at the "17th Annual Independent Music Awards" in New York City.
