SUMMARY:Scenes – The Billy Joel Experience
DESCRIPTION:Formerly known as Cold Spring Harbor\, Scenes – A Billy Joel experience\, has been performing throughout New England and beyond since 2013.

From specific piano sounds that Billy uses himself\, to the Billy Joel classic Ray Ban sunglasses\, this show is not to be missed!
