The Collective Encore

Join us for the return of piano wielding front man Josh Christina and his 6 piece band for Josh Christina and the Revivals present “A Tribute to the Piano Men: Jerry Lee, Elton, Joel &amp; More…”. This high-octane show spans iconic piano rock n roll artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Elton John, Ray Charles, and Billy Joel and more, appealing to audiences of all ages.&nbsp;
Every artist has their influences, but Josh Christina is one of the few who can say he’s won a seal of approval from the peers of his heroes. Christina is living proof that while heroes are remembered, legends never die. Quite literally the last of a dying breed, the piano rock phenomenon is carrying the torch passed down by the genre’s founding fathers; the legacy left behind by pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley.
Described as “the future of rock n roll” by Chuck Berry’s former pianist and bandleader Daryl Davis, Josh fuses classic influences with a distinct performance style that’s both nostalgic and fresh. From his debut on Ireland’s “Late Late Show” to hundreds of performances each year, he continues to captivate audiences nationwide and beyond. The show has been selling out theaters across the Mid-Atlantic, and Josh has taken it to the high seas, headlining on Celebrity and Viking Cruises to rave reviews.
Josh’s world-class piano chops, powerful vocals, along with top-tier musicians and vocalists, The Revivals deliver a powerhouse live experience.
