Mike DelGuidice, one of Long Island’s most celebrated performers — a veteran of 27 years playing to sold-out audiences in the U.S. heading up his Billy Joel Tribute Band, Big Shot — realized a life-long dream in the fall of 2013 when he became the newest member of the Billy Joel Band.
DelGuidice is a brilliant vocalist and composer and a master of several instruments including bass guitar, guitar, piano and drums. He has worked with several of the original members of Billy Joel’s band over the years, and his encyclopedic knowledge of the Piano Man’s catalog made him a perfect fit as background vocalist and guitarist for Joel.
DelGuidice is the author of two albums, My Street and Miller Place, and several of his new songs are currently under favored consideration for film soundtracks. He now juggles his own busy schedule of sold-out shows, with his new schedule of monthly shows at Madison Square Garden, along with weekly shows around the country and abroad with Joel.
Despite his busy touring, DelGuidice and his Big Shot band always make time for a show on Long Island, with a performance scheduled at The Paramount on Friday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m.
The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.
