The Stafford Townhip Arts Center, located at 1000 McKinley Ave. in Manahawkin, will host “Epic Piano Men,” a tribute to Elton John and Billy Joel, on Saturday, Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m.
The three-hour show features Mike Santoro as Joel while Ronnie Smith channels the style of John. Its format comes from the legendary “Face to Face” tours the Piano Man and the Rocket Man conducted in 1994, 1998, 2003 and 2009.
