Vision 4 Moore’s first music concert of 2025 will feature the Face 2 Face Tribute Show at the Weymouth Center for the Arts & Humanities in Southern Pines on Saturday, June 28, at 6 p.m.
The dual tribute artists of the Billy Joel/Elton John Face 2 Face Tribute Show conjure the beloved songsters in both sound and image. Backed by his band The Stranger, Levittown, NY native Mike Santoro’s fingers flash up and down the keys before he jumps up to grab the mic to belt out such high-energy Billy Joel classics as “Uptown Girl” and “Only the Good Die Young.”
Ronnie Smith dons the iconic sunglasses and bedazzled suits of Elton John as he charts his style from the ‘70s to the present. Bittersweet anthems such as “Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time)” mix with more whimsical material such as “Crocodile Rock” and the fictional rock-group narrative “Bennie and the Jets.” Both artists aim to channel the spirit of their originals so well that audiences will forget they’re a tribute.
This event will benefit Vision 4 Moore’s partner, the Weymouth Center for Arts & Humanities. Join the fun outside at the Weymouth Center for Arts & Humanities, located at 555 E. Connecticut Avenue, Southern Pines.
