Highly recommend this venue, great facility, friendly professional staff, great music. Had a party of 8 for this event and we all had one hell of a good time. We will be back to attend more events
The Stranger is an excellent Billy Joel tribute band. All of the band members are talented. As a group they have a tight grasp on the material and play it faithfully. Mike Santoro has a beautiful singing voice. He sounds like a young Billy Joel. The horns, played tonight by Adrian Crutchfield and usually by Steven Daley, make the difference. Billy Joel uses a lot of jazz sax in his music and these guys bring it to life. Excellent band, go see them if you get the chance.
This is our second time seeing Mike Santoro, he does not disappoint. Close your eyes and you’d swear it was Billy Joel up there singing. Great entertainer, bring him back to the ATL please
The Stanger put on a great show and got the crowd involved. This was a great show and a real Trbute to Billy Joel fans.
Good show talented artists. Played for almost 2 hours. Good time
Mike and his band did an incredible job. All the songs were on point and his interaction with the crowd really got everyone involved and singing. His vocals and playing were so good. We decided that we would definitely go again when they return.
FUN TIME AT THE QUEEN THEATER IN WILMINGTON! HIGH ENERGY AND LOTS OF FUN! LOVED THE PLAYLIST - PLAYED SONGS I DIDN'T EXPECT TO HEAR AND WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. WOULD DEFINITELY SEE THIS AGAIN.
We saw them at The Music Box in Cleveland this past weekend. We traveled from Milwaukee to see them, and it was worth every mile. The play list had a great mix of hits and B sides, and all were delivered exceptionally well. We talked with the band after the show, and would love to see them at Summerfest. We will see them again, maybe in Grand Rapids.
Fantastic event!!! The Stranger totally owned the audience with their amazing “Billy” sound. Hope their invited back again soon!
Mike Santoro's The Stranger brings both high energy and grace to Billy Joel's music. What's important is his, and importantly his band mate's, understanding and execution of Joel's compositions and musical intentions. Joel's music is complex, textured and layered and The Stranger can play to Joel's subtleties. The "key three" are also great musicians. Santoro dances across the keyboards and is an awesome band leader and audience communicator. Rodriguez gets Joel's rhythms and occasionally injects his own experimentation a la the great Bonzo as he shifts from pushing the keyboard players left hand and the bass into playing with the lead guitar and keyboard right hand. So cool. (Please do more of this.). And Daley on sax will remind you of a silky low toned jazz crooner one minute or Clarence Clemons another. (I personally am put off by sax players who get stuck on improvising across scales to show of skills and Daley steers clear of this.) And Daley's riff on Jimi Hendrix's National Anthem solo from Woodstock will bring chills; especially to those who hold the memory. Love it or hate it, the musicianship is unmistakable. So, this is a band to savor. The Stranger brings a new energy and thrilling vibe to the great exploratory rock music of Billy Joel. If I had one wish it would be for Daley to loosen up a bit and play more to Bonzo's style. When he does it amplifies the magic and brings a new dimension to Joel's music.
