Billy Joel Tribute Band is comprised of top musicians recreating Billy’s music and live stage show

The Union County Summer Arts Festival concert series continues its 54th season of music on Wednesday evening, July 30, with Danny V’s 52nd Street Band.  The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders invites the public to attend this free concert that begins at 7:30 p.m. in Echo Lake Park in Mountainside.

Danny V’s 52nd Street Band is a full-scale, 6-piece, live concert show, re-creating the performances of one of the greatest rock and roll keyboard players ever, the “Piano Man,” Billy Joel.  The band is led by pianist, singer and showman Dan Vechesky (Danny V).

“Bring the entire family for an enjoyable evening in Echo Lake Park,” said Freeholder Chairman Christopher Hudak. “Pack a picnic basket, bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, and enjoy the sounds of summer under the stars.”

In addition to the great music all summer long, residents are invited to come out early and participate in Union County’s Summer of Fitness, part of Chairman Hudak’s Union County Get Fit initiative. Free community yoga classes will be held prior to the musical entertainment. This week’s class will be conducted by Hot Yoga Revolution of Garwood. Classes will begin at 6:30 p.m.
