Raue Center For The Arts
North America’s Premier Tribute to Elton John
Elton Rohn is thrilling audiences everywhere. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, they have headlined over 400 theatres and festival shows in North America, from Las Vegas to Atlantic City, California, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Myrtle Beach, Pennsylvania, across Michigan, and upstate New York, and all across Canada. They were the only Elton John tribute band asked to play the Elton John convention in Las Vegas, where they met the band. Davey Johnstone (Elton’s long-time guitarist and musical director) told the band they were the best 70’s Elton John tribute in the world. Nigel Olsson ( Elton’s long-time drummer) said “Elton has a twin”.
Audiences are amazed at just how close this show sounds to the real Elton John. As Elton, Ron Camilleri has the vocal, the piano, the look, and the feel of the real Elton John performance. Performed live (no tracks), the band is the closest you’ll get to the real 70’s Elton sound.
