Crossings brings: The musical partnership of Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin was at its height between 1970 and 1976 – and that’s saying something when one considers that Elton John had at least one hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 for 31 years straight. The hits and deep track masterpieces each get their turn in ELTONSONGS, a tribute concert on Sat., Sept. 26, 7:30 p.m. at the State Theatre.

“Mick Sterling Presents: ELTONSONGS – The Deep Tracks and Hits of Elton John and Bernie Taupin 1970-76,” features hits such as “Benny and the Jets,” “Border Song,” “Philadelphia Freedom,” “Levon,” and “Your Song.” Moreover, pieces such as “Funeral for a Friend,” “The King Must Die,” “Tonight,” “Madman Across the Water,” and “Indian Sunset,” also will be performed.

Led by Minnesota Music Hall of Fame winner and Midwest Hall of Fame Recipient Sterling and the musical director of The Brave New Workshop, Peter Guertin, ELTONSONGS features an impressive 10-piece band that faithfully and powerfully performs music from the most prolific and influential period of Elton John and Taupin’s partnership.

This is the Elton John concert fans tell their friends about, because the songs are so cool!

With more than 50 Top 40 hits – including nine No. 1 singles – Elton John is one of the best-selling music artists in the world. He had at least one song on the Billboard Hot 100 at all times from 1970 to 2000, and has six Grammys to his name, besides an English knighthood awarded for his contributions to music and charities.
