Moosehead Caring for Kids Foundation presents Yellow Brick Road A Tribute to Elton John

GREENVILLE — The Moosehead Caring for Kids Foundation presents Yellow Brick Road A Tribute to Elton John live in concert Friday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. in Greenville High School’s Oakes Auditorium.

There is no other performer who looks and sounds so much like Elton John, nor any tribute act that provides the experience of being at an Elton John concert the way Gerald Brann and Yellow Brick Road. Brann not only bears an uncanny resemblance to the international superstar — complete with gap-toothed smile and many of his mannerisms — but recreates Elton John’s vocals and playing to a tee.

To capture the essence of the piano man, Brann dresses in replica costumes and wears Elton’s trademark outrageous glasses. A trained jazz pianist, Brann has been a lifelong Elton John fan, and his admiration for and love of his music comes shining through as he plays one hit after another with remarkable likeness to the pop music icon. 

Brann and his talented five-piece band evoke audience participation throughout the entire show — whether singing along to “Rocket Man” and “Your Song,” swaying to “Candle in the Wind,” or hopping and bopping to “Crocodile Rock”! A general admission ticket is $35. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. No food or drink will be allowed in the auditorium.

Proceeds from this event will be used to support childcare in our community. Tickets purchased online will be available at “will call” by the entry of this event beginning at 5 p.m. For tickets go to https://mooseheadcaringforkidsfoundation.org/events/.
