TIFTON — They have sold out shows at The House Of Blues, The Fillmore and theaters around the country, and now they’re coming to Tifton on Thursday, Sept. 21, for a night of memorable music, fine food and spirited dancing.

Touring nationally, the Billy Joel/Elton John “Face2Face” Tribute Show will rock the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center, according to a press release.

Sponsored by the non-profit Tifton-Tift County Public Library Foundation, the show features hits from both legendary artists.

Ronnie Smith will play Sir Elton John and Mike Santoro will be Billy Joel.

For the Elton John and Billy Joel fans who expect more than just flashy costumes and sunglasses, this captivating and engaging show is much like seeing Elton John and Billy Joel in the flesh, according to the release.

Backed by his band The Stranger, Santoro, a Levittown, N.Y., native, flashes his fingers up and down the keys before he jumps up to grab the mic to belt out such high-energy Billy Joel classics as “Only the Good Die Young” and “Uptown Girl.” 

And Smith dons the iconic sunglasses and bedazzled suits of a young Elton John as he charts his style, beginning with such anthems as “Rocket Man,” “Crocodile Rock” and “Bennie and the Jets.”

Guests will get the chance to dance to the string of hits by both artists.

An optional dinner before the show features fine dining and congenial conversation. 

A few reserved sponsor tables are still available for the dinner and show.

For reserved seating, contact any Library Foundation board member or call Foundation President Frank Sayles Jr. at 478-227-7126.

For unreserved seating for the dinner/show and for show-only tickets, they are available at the public library or online at ugatiftonconference.org. 

Unreserved dinner/show tickets are $80 each, and unreserved show-only tickets are $50.

The dinner is at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
