The Piano Men by Jim Witter Mason County Concert Association (MCCA) is very excited to welcome Jim Witter's show The Piano Men to the Shel- ton High School Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 14. The Piano Men is a hit-by-hit musical celebration of the 1970s from the songs of Billy Joel and Elton John. Witter and his band lead an expertly crai~d tour of an entire decade and carries listeners along in a musical time machine. Witter's unique approach and comfort- able rapport makes each member of his audience feel as though they are a part of a private con- cert in the comfort of their own living room. This, along with his rich, power- ful voice and ease of manner at the piano, make him a favorite with theater goers everywhere. A few years ago, Jim came up with the concept for the show. "I was always a big fan of acoustic music - especially the folk of the '70s: James Taylor, Harry Chapin," he reveals, "but my real mentors were Billy Joel and Elten John." This multi-media rock musi- cal has turned out to be a hit, receiving rave reviews from music critics all across North America. There are even plans to take the show overseas to London and Ja- pan in the near future. Witter began performing in the corn- Jim Witter fort of his own living room with his moth- er playing piano belting out the hits from the Beatles to Broadway musicals. He's come a long way since his days as a four- year old living room cover artist. His mu- sic and songwriting have been recognized on both sides of the border, earning him multiple awards and nominations.Wit- ter's album "Forgiveness" was nominat- ed for Inspirational Album of the Year. "Songwriting has always been a real love of mine,'says Jim. "I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with so many incredible song- writers over the past years." Witter is also very active in his community, sup- porting numerous charities and orga- nizations, especially those which benefit children and their families. "All I've ever wanted from this business is to be able to support my family and to make people feel a little better when they hear my music. To help them forget about their troubles for a while and enjoy the moment", he con- cludes. "IfI can continue doing this 5, 10, 15 years down the road, I'll be perfectly happy." Individual tickets are available at Lynch Creek Floral and at the door. Mem- berships are still available: $60 for adults, $125 for families and students are $15.
