Singer/songwriter, piano-player, producer, arranger, Elio Pace thrills audiences around the world with his soulful voice and amazing piano playing. In a stellar career, Elio has performed with Brian May, Huey Lewis, Glen Campbell, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Tom Chaplin, Mike Rutherford, Albert Lee, Don McLean and Martha Reeves to name but a few. He even played for Sandra Bullock’s 30th birthday party in London at which she joined him onstage for a duet. In 2013 and 2014, Elio was invited to ‘fill Billy Joel’s shoes’, starring in five very special reunion concerts in the USA with Joel’s original 1971-72 touring band, recreating the historic WMMR Sigma Sounds live recordings. Following on from the huge success of these American shows and along with his magnificent 6-piece band, in March 2014, Elio embarked upon the debut 70-date UK & Ireland tour of his brand new show, THE BILLY JOEL SONGBOOK; the world’s first EVER national, theatre concert tour celebrating the incredible songs and career of Billy Joel. This powerhouse of a show, was filmed and recorded live on 2nd November 2015 during its second, critically-acclaimed national tour and features over 30 Billy Joel classics including the massive hits, Uptown Girl, Just The Way You Are and My Life as well as fan favourites such as Scenes From An Italian Restaurant, Goodnight Saigon and Piano Man. The Billy Joel Songbook LIVE, beautifully captured in HD, showcases the electrifying concert performances and mesmerising storytelling of the dynamic Elio Pace.
