Arts Jubilee 2023 | Piano Men – July 13th

THE MUSIC OF ELTON JOHN AND BILLY JOEL – July 13th

NORTH CONWAY, NH  Elton John and Billy Joel have combined to sell over 350 million records worldwide. For four decades they have been a large part of the musical landscape, topping the album charts and playing to sold out audiences while continuing to receive heavy airplay on classic rock radio. Since 1994. these two legendary performers have regularly been joining forces selling out their worldwide Face-to-Face tours.

“Piano Men ” is a tribute to the amazing songs of Elton John and Billy Joel. This concert combines a four-piece pop group featuring Joe Boucher on piano and vocals playing with an orchestra with arrangements by Christopher Eastburn. Rarely have these songs ever been heard performed live in this way as Elton and Billy themselves have only on a few occasions performed with orchestras.

The music of Piano Men concentrates heavily on the recordings by Elton and Billy during their 1970s heyday when their many hit albums featured lush orchestrations. The concert opens with Billy Joel’s thrilling “Prelude/Angry Young Man” and works it’s way through a veritable hit parade alternating songs between the two composers.

OPENING ACT AT 6 PM: REK’LIS TRIO

White Mountain Oil’s 39th Bratwurst Broil and Open House – June 9th

NORTH CONWAY NH – White Mountain Oil & Propane is well known for our famous “Open House and Bratwurst Broil” held every June at our North Main Street, North Conway store. We had held various open houses and cookouts over the history of the company but have produced the “Bratwurst Broil” for 38 consecutive years on a Friday in June.

Our planned events for 2020, 2021 and 2022 were all postponed for various reasons including Covid-19. However, we are planning on holding this event on June 9th, 2023.

We are hoping to experience (our usual) very little rain that day. Ordinarily our open House is from 10:00-4:00 with the grills  going from 11:00-2:00 pm only. There are usually door prizes and other giveaways!

Before the Bratwurst Broil, White Mountain Oil hosted many other events. Below, members of the community are shown enjoying an early open-house at our Main Street-North Conway showroom, which included a cake baking contest.
