Springsteen was an amazing kickoff to our tenth year, and we will continue rolling right along as we move to one of the great singer/songwriters of our time...Elton John. You don't need us to tell you about Elton - after 250 million records sold, chance are good that you've bought some of his music at some point in your life.

Complex melodies and arrangements, powerful piano and soulful vocals are his trademarks, and we will bring all of that power and nuance to you this September. We will feature a large ensemble for this show, including multiple keyboards and guitars, a large dose of Tributosaurus Strings, and the Paleolithic horns. Paul Bolger of Mr. Blotto will join in the fun, as will many of our favorite guests, to celebrate Elton's catalog.

We'll largely be sticking to Elton's sweet spot in the earlier half of his career, but there may be a later tune or two that find their way into the set...you never know until you see it live! We're only going to do one show, but we'll do it 2 nights in a row! However, the Wednesday show sold out in a hurry, and the Thursday is moving fast - so come on out to Martyrs' on September 7th (SOLD OUT) OR 8th at 7PM to feel the love that night...that's what friends are for, right?

Tributosaurus X - Thank You!

We've had a lot of calls & emails lately to see if Tributosaurus X subscriptions could still be purhased - unfortunately, they cannot. Once the season started in August, we could no longer offer the package. Thanks to everyone who bought one, and it was such a success that there will definitely be more subscription deals coming, so please keep your eyes on the site!
