A band takes it's stand.

Captain Jack and the Strangers A Tribute To Billy Joel, from Gloucester, MA performs with a swagger and fervor that conquers every stage, honoring the Piano Man and his great American songbook and igniting pure musical joy.

Front man Captain Jack Favazza has a smooth and bold voice that channels Billy's very essence. The 24-year-old piano phenom exudes the charm and charisma of Joel while captivating audiences both young and old. His dynamic presence commands the spotlight's gleam, as he croons these classic songs making a river of dreams come alive.

The Strangers are Jack’s talented crew who craft a symphony of sound behind him with expert musicianship and great chemistry, their skills are truly polished. On saxophone, keyboard, harmonica and percussion Michael Lindberg colors the sound of the band with emotion and smooth soulful strokes of genius. Lead guitarist Mark Pelosi rips with passion, capturing rock 'n' roll lighting in a bottle, his riffs ignite the crowd with every tasteful lick. Rhythm guitarist Jim Frontiero seamlessly switches between silky acoustic guitar strumming & gritty electric rhythms without missing a beat. The bassist Michael Parsons grooves steady and true, an anchor for the music, keeping the melodies in view with each thumping note he sets a thick foundation for every era of the Billy Joel songbook from 70’s through the 80’s and into the 90’s. The heartbeat of the Strangers is drummer Steve Russo commanding the beat he is a driving force, relentlessly unleashing rhythmic heat with precision and power, creating an infectious groove that carries the crowd along, the pulse of this band is strong. The Strangers also supply harmonious backing vocals that perfectly season the whole wonderful mix with musical bliss.

Together, Captain Jack and the Strangers embody, the spirit of Billy Joel, his music they personify. When they take the stage, in every note they play and with every lyric sung, they deliver a true tribute to Billy Joel’s illustrious career and wide-ranging music catalog.
