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 in
"Rocketman" the blockbuster movie soundtrack, live in concert.
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.
“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. Even though the 70’s was an incredibly creative time for Sir Elton & Bernie, 20 years later, there were kids growing up with The Lion King soundtrack,” says Greg. “In this show, there’s something for everyone. I would call this a celebration of Sir Elton John and his music, and his incredible legacy that is the Rocketman.”
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.
Channeling the music of Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin, who
have inspired Greg from the beginning, along side his 6- piece
band who are world class, this is one of the most exciting
performances of his career to date.
"I hope the crowds will come and bring the global phenomena of
the Rocketman movie to life with myself and the band on stage.
Sir Elton always made the audience feel like every show was
their show and I’m no different – make it a celebration of this
incredible music and musicianship, make it a memory.”
“For Greg Andrew, it was the song, Your
Song that first impacted him and inspired his love of Elton.
“The beautiful piano melody I can remember learning when I was a
kid,” says Greg. “As a young kid learning classical piano and
then going on to the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, there
are certain parallels you could say with Sir Elton. It is an
incredible honour and privilege to perform these iconic songs,
and have the audiences react the way they do.”
The Elton John Experience will feature hit after hit from
Elton’s back catalogue. With tracks such as I’m Still Standing,
Saturday Nights Alright For Fightin’, Candle In The Wind,
Daniel, Honky Cat, Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me and Crocodile
Rock to name a few, it will be a spectacular evening from start
to finish. Greg Andrew and the Elton John Experience band look
forward to exchanging that love and energy of Sir Elton John
with audiences. “This show and these songs will give you the
ultimate Elton John Experience,” says Greg.
