Celebrating Billy Joel
Celebrating Billy Joel is a six-person tribute band performing at Wind Creek Event Center on May 27.

“One of the things that we can promise people is that we may well not play your favorite song,“ Dee said of the performance in 2022.

“The challenge is, he has so many brilliant songs. What you’ll have to do if we don’t play a favorite song this time, is come back and watch us next time.”
