A Celebration of the Songs of Elton John and Billy Joel
Performed by John Reilly & Lewis Nitikman
Following a great reception last year, singer-songwriter John Reilly and Canadian pianist and composer Lewis Nitikman are delighted to return to Chapel Arts Centre in Bath to celebrate the music of Elton John and this time, they are adding some Billy Joel tunes to the set. It?s a fantastic evening, with a wonderful vibe!!
The concert is not a tribute, but a true celebration of the music of Elton John and Billy Joel. John Reilly, whose albums have received both national and international air play, sings the songs very accurately, but in his own inimitable style and also plays percussion and harmonica, Lewis Nitikman, who is Berkelee trained and has produced 3 gold albums in Canada, plays piano and bass keyboards.
This will be a truly unique evening of stunning vocals and outstanding piano, . It is a totally live performance, expect to hear all your favourite Elton and Billy tunes including 'Your Song', ?Piano Man?, 'Daniel', ?Uptown Girl?, Candle in the Wind', ?New York State of Mind?, 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' etc., but also some you may not be so familiar with.
So, once again, this is not a tribute. No dressing up. No miming. No backing tracks!! Just two consummate professionals celebrating amazing, timeless songs performed from the heart in a show that has people on their feet, moved and shouting for more!!

Lewis Nitikman
I am originally from Winnipeg Canada. My passion for piano started at the age of four when I used to enjoy playing around on piano keyboards. In my teenage years it was the amazing piano playing of Elton John that inspired me to want to become a professional musician and pursue a career in music. I was trained at Berklee College of music where I received my Diploma in Composition. Not long after this I went on to tour with RCA recording artists 'Stonebolt'. Over 30 years I have gained extensive experience as a professional musician and session player. Some high lights of my career have been producing, playing and writing 3 gold albums in Canada. Playing with various bands including The Beach Boys, The Guess Who, The Dooby Brothers, Def Leopard and Sheffield's very own John Reilly and Boy on a Dolphin.I currently write, produce and perform all over the country.
