TURNSTILES

the Ultimate Tribute to the Music of billy joel

For more than a decade, Turnstiles has been bringing the music of Billy Joel to life on stages across America and beyond. What began as a passionate labor of love has grown into one of the most respected and in-demand Billy Joel tribute acts in the world. Led by lifelong pianist and vocalist Tony Monaco, Turnstiles has performed over 700 shows, entertaining hundreds of thousands of fans throughout the United States and across the Caribbean. Known for their authenticity, energy, and musicianship, the band recreates the sound, feel, and spirit of a classic Billy Joel concert with stunning precision and heart. 

In 2024, Turnstiles made history as the first tribute band to ever perform at Madison Square Garden, opening for Vampire Weekend at the world’s most famous arena. The milestone solidified the group’s national reputation and proved that a tribute band, when done at the highest level, can stand on the biggest stages in music........And then came January 2, 2026. 

During a sold-out performance in Wellington, Florida, Turnstiles experienced a once-in-a-lifetime moment when Billy Joel himself walked into the venue, joined the band on stage, and performed publicly for the first time since his final Madison Square Garden residency show. The surprise appearance instantly went viral and became a global news story, with coverage on every major morning and evening show, Inside Edition, national newspapers, and leading music publications around the world. 

It was a moment that validated what fans have known for years – Turnstiles doesn’t just play Billy Joel’s music. They celebrate it with authenticity, respect, and pure joy. Whether performing at theaters, festivals, corporate events, or major concert venues, Turnstiles continues to deliver an unforgettable live experience that honors one of the greatest songbooks in rock and roll history.
