Having booked Tribute acts for over 20 years The Stranger is truly one of the best tribute bands I have booked at Amos Southend'. Mike the lead singer sounds exactly like Billy Joel and his band is a collection of excellent musicians. They are very professional and easy to deal with, punctual and undemanding and courteous. He plays an excellent selection of Billy Joel hits that the crowd gets excited about and stage presence is outstanding. I would recommend booking the Stranger to any club owner, promoter or agent.
“I wanted to let you all know I caught the show this past Saturday in Myrtle Beach at HOB, and I thought the show was tremendous. I am a native New Yorker myself, from Brooklyn, and have seen many Billy Joel shows, too numerous to mention, a fan from day one, and have seen some other tribute artists, and you are by far the best I have ever seen. You're Only Human was unreal. Thanks again for bringing back a lot of great memories, hope to see you again in August!
My wife and I own VENUE in downtown Johnson City, TN and we recently held a Valentine's Day event with The Stranger, a premier Billy Joel tribute band. All I can say is, "WOW!!!" They blew us away and far exceeded our expectations. A full 2 1/2 hr set of classic Joel that sounded so much like the original that our patrons were in disbelief. Every note and every beat were spot on and when you are playing music that's as recognizable as his, you just can't wing it. It's obvious that a ton of time and preparation goes into their performances and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for that WOW factor!
“The Stranger” has been by far the most crowd pleasing band at our Rockin’ & Reelin’ summer entertainment series. The mixed crowd was in the party spirit right from the start. The band is very professional and pleasant to work with in every way. We will definitely have them back again next year. This band really loves what they do, and it shows in their stage presence. Thanks again for bringing your great talent to Pineville!” July 2010 - Kristy Detwiler, Director Pineville Parks & Recreation. Rockin’ & Reelin” Pineville’s Summer Concert & Movie Series.
We are so pleased with your bands performance for our wedding. The diversity in music selections and energy was amazing ...everyone was up dancing from ages 3-76. Our guests are still talking about what a great time they had. We really appreciate you learning our music selections along with the professionalism and steps you took to make sure the lighting and sound was perfect.
Thanks again!
