Billy Joel Tribute Band Coming To Doylestown's Central Park

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Thompson Performing Arts Series continues its 2026 concert season on Wednesday at Doylestown’s Central Park with River of Dreams, an evening of everything Billy Joel. The free concert begins at the C&N Amphitheater.

The song catalog of Billy Joel - the scrappy kid who was born in NYC and grew up on Long Island - is quite amazing. Epic even. Twelve studio albums with one jewel after another, and when a live band can perform these songs and get people to sing along, it is pure magic.

“River Of Dreams faithfully recreates the sound and the feel of those classic songs,” says the band’s website. “With a real love and respect for the music, Mike and his band bring life to such standards as: Angry Young Man, You May Be Right, Allentown, Captain Jack, New York State of Mind, Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, We Didn’t Start The Fire, Only The Good Die Young, The Ballad of Billy the Kid, It's Still Rock & Roll To Me and more.

“We are not impersonators. Our aim is to honor the aesthetics of Billy Joel's iconic sound and honor his unique place in music history,” the band points out. “Spend an evening with the memories and the magic. Spend an evening with River of Dreams and the music of Billy Joel.”

The food truck lineup for the July 1 concert includes Hot Diggity Dog Cart, Jack and Jill, Kona Ice, Scratch Fry Kitchen and Warwick Farm Brewing.
