Mike DelGuidice & Big Shot Kick Off The Levitt Pavilion’s 2022 Season
The Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts launched its 2022 Season with a benefit concert starring Mike DelGuidice & Big Shot - Celebrating the Music of Billy Joel and More! Sponsored by Dan and Maureen Aron. Proceeds from the Stars-on-Tour presentation help support the Levitt Pavilion’s free programming - of which there will be over 50 shows presented free-of-charge.
The rain-or-shine concert event was able to continue safely and through to the end. An enthusiastic house danced to hit after hit by Billy Joel, Elton John, and more - including originals by Mike DelGuidice - who’s voice so distinctly resembles Billy’s that even Billy Joel has been known to think that it is himself. Mike and Big Shot are more than a tribute - they tour with Billy including his MSG shows.
