Elton Dan and his 8-piece band show pays tribute to one of the all-time greatest artists ever: ELTON JOHN. Elton Dan’s rapport and stage presence is second to none and his magical piano playing has a way of engaging you in the full ELTON experience. Before you know it, you’re captivated by his incredible band including backup singers, and thrilled with the over the top costumes and high energy performances just like ELTON in days past. Elton Dan has performed for gatherings of 2000+, but gives each listener the feeling that they are sharing the intimate emotions of the much loved music with just them.

If you remember “Do You Believe in Magic?” and “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?”, you’re in the right place. According to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, between 1965 and 1968, The Lovin’ Spoonful spanned the genres of jug-band music (“Good Time Music”), ragtime (“Day Dream”), country (“Nashville Cats”), folk-pop (“You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice”), hard rock (“Summer in the City”) and orchestrated pop (“She Is Still a Mystery”). Add to that “6 o’Clock” and “Darling Be Home Soon” and you’ve got the makings of one of the best vintage rock and roll concerts ever. The Spoonful features original founding members Steve Boone (who co-wrote some of the bands biggest hits) and Joe Butler, as well as Murray Weinstock (who played and sang on “Welcome Back”), Mike Arturi and Phil Smith.

Their first 7 single releases all made it into the Top 10 on the record charts. Early non-stop touring including a legendary run with The Supremes gave The Lovin’ Spoonful an audience that most rock bands of the time did not have. Over the next 3 years, 6 original music albums and 12 hit singles followed.

In March 2000, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2012 The Vocal Group Hall of Fame inducted the band and shortly after that Steve & Joe were inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. To this day, they continue to tour worldwide but on March 3rd, they’ll be in Citrus County at the Curtis Peterson Auditorium.
