Turnstiles: The Ultimate Billy Joel Tribute — A Tunnel to Towers Benefit, 5 and 8 p.m. Friday, September 4 at the Richey Suncoast Theatre in downtown New Port Richey | $30 – $40 | Box $175
From the promo……
Turnstiles brings the music of Billy Joel roaring back to life at the historic Richey Suncoast Theatre — and every ticket supports the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
This is the band that made history as the first tribute act to play Madison Square Garden — and the one Billy Joel himself joined on stage in Wellington, Florida this past January. All live. All the hits — Piano Man, Uptown Girl, Only the Good Die Young, and more.
Your night out gives back. Proceeds help Tunnel to Towers provide mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families, fallen first responder families, and catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
