Elton John "as he was and sounded" from 1970-82. Full Band in costumes, full costumes from that time period, and the sound of young Elton John along with 6' Baby Grand. Our videos and song samples are on the web. Close your eyes.. it's 1970 at The Troubadour. Other tributes boast they are "the best", we let your eyes and ears decide for themselves.
Mark Cuban, owner of the Maverick's and (link hidden) has added us to his new weekly TV series, season 1, "The World's Greatest Tribute Bands". He has given us a "LIVE" 1 hour show from The Roxy Theatre, hosted by Katie Daryl, that broadcasts to 38 million viewers.
We would love to perform for you & we will fly anywhere.
I hired this band for our corporate event and I have never had so many "thank you's" from our over 500 members. This band was not only top notch entertainment, they sounded EXACTLY like the real thing. I have seen Elton many times and you would never know you weren't watching the real Elton. Spectaculiar to work with and all so very appreciative which is hard to find. HIRE THEM. You won't be sorry!!!
