When it comes to performing the music
and having the look of Sir Elton John, there are few that embody
the presence and uncanny likeness quite like Greg Andrew. He
owns the stage, channels the music, and has audiences believing
it could really be the man himself! With his virtuosic piano
playing, combined with his vocal timbre, it is no surprise that
Greg chose to showcase the music of his hero Sir Elton John.
ROCKETMAN FLYING SOLO is Greg's "up close and personal" show,
that is built on the hits and format of Sir Elton's solo show
which has toured the world. This is an intimate show where Greg
highlights certain songs and talks about interesting facts
associated with them. This allows for a varied but familiar song
choice.
The Elton John Experience is known for
paying homage to the great music of Sir Elton John and Bernie
Taupin. They have performed a hugely successful run of shows,
both in Australia and overseas with performances in over 30
countries and to a collective audience of over 500 000 people.
The Elton John Experience is widely reputed as one of the best
Elton John tribute bands globally and Greg Andrew is regarded as
one of the best in the world at his craft. In 2017, Greg Andrew
became the first and only Elton John tribute artist worldwide to
be invited to perform at the biggest and most prestigious
tribute artist festival in the world, called TRIBFEST UK, held
annually in Yorkshire, England.
“I feel that the music Sir Elton John
& Bernie Taupin have written together over the course of 50
years in many ways, has been like growing up with a life long
friend, who has been there all the way! It is incredible to
think that they have written so many songs together that are
timeless and multi generational. I see with audiences, there are
grand parents, parents and young adults who come and enjoy the
show. ”
ROCKETMAN FLYING SOLO will feature hits from Elton’s back
catalogue as well as classic songs from the early years. With
familiar tracks such as Candle In The Wind, Daniel, Honky Cat,
Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me and Crocodile Rock to name a
few, combined with Broadway hit such as The Lion King, and songs
that lend themselves beautifully to the solo format that are not
performed as a band, it will be a spectacular evening from start
to finish.
