Billy Joel Tickets

With a career spanning decades and more awards and accolades you can count, Billy Joel is one of the biggest and best performers in the world. He has 12 studio albums under his belt and is one of the best-selling musicians of all time, and for a good reason: his songs move your soul.

Billy the Kid

Born in a small town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island, Billy was born William Martin Joel. Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s instilled a love of music in the future megastar, and after taking piano lessons at the behest of his mother, young Billy became convinced and confident that he would make a living as a musician. He even missed out on graduating from high school because he was too busy playing in piano bars to help support his family.

But Billy was fine with it. He’s famously said that he was heading to Columbia Records, not Columbia University. Interestingly enough, Columbia is indeed the record company that picked up Billy’s contract after a live recording of “Captain Jack” generated some major buzz on local Philadelphia radio stations in the early '70s. It was around this time that Billy composed his arguably most famous song, “Piano Man,” based on his experiences working piano bars to make ends meet.

Super-Stardom and Beyond

Billy’s career skyrocketed in the late '70s, starting with the release of his album The Stranger and continuing nonstop until 1993, which is the last time he released a studio album. From classical to doo-wop to contemporary to just plain old rock-and-roll, Billy has done it all and then some, with his eclectic style offering someone for everyone.

The man is an absolute machine. He’s essentially been on tour since 1994, traveling all over the world either as a solo act or together with other superstars like Elton John. Always a New Yorker at heart, Billy’s favorite venue is Madison Square Garden in New York City, but you can find him anywhere there’s an audience thirsting for his music.
