These guys are not just a great Billy Joel tribute band, they are a great band period. They look like they're having a great time on stage playing. I would recommend these guys any time they come to town.

Last night was the sixth time I’ve seen this group. Every time I catch their show, I leave marveling at their professionalism. I tend to judge tribute bands on how closely they can cover the artist’s work. This is where The Stranger excels. I am so thankful this band shares their talents with we the public. Can’t wait to see them the next time.
A word about the Swanee theater in Kannapolis. Never been there until last night. Great setting. notcrowdedseating!

About The Stranger - A Billy Joel Tribute
THE STRANGER is the complete premiere tribute to the music of one of the world’s most beloved performers, Billy Joel. Comprised of some of the best and most experienced musicians in the business, this 6 piece band brings together an authentic replication of Billy's timeless music, crowning it with soulful, spot on vocals that makes listening to a Billy Joel song so special.
Out front on piano & lead vocals is founder & frontman Mike Santoro. Born and raised in Levittown like Joel himself, Mike not only looks and talks a lot like Billy, but has the piano chops, vocal prowess and stage presence of the Piano Man - so much so that you will soon forget you are watching a tribute show. The STRANGER gives you the Billy Joel experience with the sound of his original band in its prime... energetic, interactive and often unpredictable. Its live entertainment at its best!
