Allentown duo

Allentown, Michigan’s only dedicated Billy Joel tribute band, will send two members — drummer and bandleader Todd Stoney and pianist and lead singer Mark Calcott — to perform at north Lansing’s Classic Pub & Grill 8 p.m. Friday (Sept. 13).

Allentown offers more than 2.5 hours of Billy Joel’s greatest hits in its repertoire, including many fan-favorite deep cuts. The full six-piece band has played at performing arts centers, theaters, outdoor festivals and even a few high-end private parties.

The scaled-back Classic Pub performance will be Stoney and Calcott’s duet debut and will kick off several more duet and trio shows around Michigan and Ontario this year. It will be free and open to the public, though seating will be limited. To schedule a dinner reservation for the evening of the show, call (517) 999-0101.

Allentown also has two full-band concerts scheduled at local venues later in the fall: Grewal Hall at 224 on Oct. 6 and the Michigan Theatre of Jackson on Nov. 9, the same date Joel’s “Piano Man” was released 51 years ago.
