Dogs of SocietyβThe Ultimate Elton Rock Tribute presents a celebration of Elton John and Bernie Taupinβs iconic Tumbleweed Connection album ~ PLUS ~ a selection of your favorite Elton hits.
Released on October 30, 1970, Tumbleweed Connection is considered an Americana masterpiece with roots in the early days of country rock. Elton said of Tumbleweed, βLyrically and melodically, thatβs probably one of our most perfect albums.β Bernie shared about Tumbleweedβs lyrics, βWe wrote and recorded the album before weβd even been to the States. It was totally influenced by The Bandβs album, Music From Big Pink, and Robbie Robertsonβs songs.β
The Dogs will be joined onstage by Percussionist Peter Hussey, Harpist Hannah Vanhooser and a three-piece horn section featuring Waylon Schroeder (Breakfast in America & Billy the Kid), Chris Jarden and Mike Alexander. Come hear these incredible Tumbleweed songs (and Eltonβs best-loved hits) performed all live in the intimate, historic Wildey Theatre.
Doors open at 7pm
