Turnstiles
The Ultimate Tribute to the Music of Billy Joel

The only Billy Joel tribute band ever to perform at Madison Square Garden, Turnstiles is more than a show, it’s a celebration of one of the greatest songwriters in American music.

If “tribute” means an expression of admiration and respect, then Turnstiles embodies that word perfectly. Founded by lifelong fan Tony Monaco, the band is driven by pure love for the craft, the lyrics, and the piano-driven storytelling that made Billy Joel an icon.

Tony’s journey began decades ago, when the sound of the Piano Man first inspired him to become a musician. After years of performing in original projects and cover bands, he formed his first Billy Joel tribute — Stormfront — in 1993, earning acclaim throughout the New York area.

Years later, after relocating to South Florida, Tony gathered some of the region’s finest musicians to create Turnstiles, a band devoted to sharing the joy, depth, and authenticity of Billy Joel’s music.

Turnstiles isn’t about impersonation, it’s about interpretation. Every performance is completely live, filled with musical mastery and heartfelt reverence for the songs that defined a generation. From Piano Man and Scenes from an Italian Restaurant to Movin’ Out and New York State of Mind, their faithful renditions bring audiences to their feet, singing, swaying, and celebrating the soundtrack of their lives.

Now, over a decade into their journey, Turnstiles has performed for hundreds of thousands of fans across the country leaving audiences overjoyed, nostalgic, and always wanting more.

Turnstiles is available for corporate events, festivals, concerts, cruise ships, casinos, theaters, trade shows, meet-and-greets, and other venues looking for a world-class, fully live concert experience that honors the legacy of Billy Joel.
