Backed by a driving rock quintet and a lush string quartet, Joe Boucher re-imagines Billy Joel’s greatest hits in concert, this time at the Sanford Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28.

"Sing Us A Song" is a spectacular tribute to Billy Joel by Maine’s own Joe Boucher, the powerhouse vocalist, pianist, and creator behind some of New England’s most celebrated rock-meets-orchestra shows. Boucher has built a devoted following with smash hits like Classic Rock, Piano Men, and The Beatles Solo Years – all of which have been featured at Sanford Performing Arts Center in previous seasons! His thrilling arrangements blend the punch of a rock show with the elegance of orchestral strings. From the sing-along joy of “Piano Man” to the sweeping drama of “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” this is Billy Joel like you’ve never heard him before — big sound, big emotion, and one unforgettable night of music.
