Paramount OKs deal with Joel tribute band

The Island Now

The Paramount in Huntington has announced a partnership with Mike DelGuidice and Big Shot to bring a consistent schedule of live shows to Huntington in 2016 and beyond.  

Celebrating the music of Billy Joel, Big Shot has already performed to sold-out crowds numerous times in 2015 at The Paramount, and as a result, the venue has made a commitment to bring Big Shot back to the stage as often as schedules will allow.

Confirmed for 2016, the series DelGuidice & Big Shot: Celebrating the Music of Billy Joel will play live at The Paramount Friday, April 22, Friday, June 24 and Saturday, Aug. 27 with more dates to be announced soon.  All show times will be at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m.  The Paramount will announce the exact Ticketmaster on-sale and pre-sale dates / times for each of the next shows in the coming weeks.

Mike DelGuidice, currently the backup vocalist and guitarist for Billy Joel, is excited to announce this long term partnership.  

“Our band has found a real home for our music at The Paramount and it’s the perfect place to continue the legacy of Billy Joel’s music on Long Island” DelGuidice said.  “Billy Joel and Long Island are the perfect marriage and we look forward to putting on the best live shows as often as the venue will have us.”

DelGuidice performs across the country with his band, many of whom are current members of Billy Joel’s band.
