The Real Estate Novelists

Billy Joel's music gets a full Perth band treatment from The Real Estate Novelists. Steve de Grussa takes the piano and lead vocal parts, joined by Ben Gray, Dylan Hooper, Steve Hensby and Russell Loasby. Each player comes from an established local music project, and the group was assembled specifically around this album tribute. The repertoire includes Pressure, Allentown, She's Always a Woman, Piano Man and Only the Good Die Young. That songbook moves naturally from quieter keyboard-led writing into rock material, letting the show build without leaving its subject behind. This is an ensemble tribute rather than a solo lookalike act, with the arrangements and musicianship kept at the front.
