A Rock 'n Roll Archeological Dig...
His songs have been emulated, adapted & covered countless times over, but never before has anyone captured the magic that was the Elton John, Dee Murray & Nigel Olsson trio tours of 1970 to 1972. A time when his label couldn’t afford a full band and he had to adapt & rearrange his songs to fit within the limitations of a three man configuration, ultimately creating a new sound that was both raw & poignant. Now, that sound has been recaptured, brought to life – and expanded upon – by the ultimate tribute trio that is Early Elton. Consisting of Jeff Kazee of Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, Rich Pagano of The Fab Faux, & John Conte of Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, the band epitomizes the initial phenomenon of Elton John.
