Well, this should be interesting. Aaron Freeman, best known as Gene Ween, has announced a show at Brooklyn Bowl on May 28th. “Gene Ween Does Billy Joel” is the theme of the show, which happens to be on the same night that the “Piano Man” is playing one of his MSG residency shows. Looks like Gener isn’t gone just yet.
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday, February 20 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketfly.
Here is a statement with additional show info:
“Gene Ween explores his deep and abiding man-love for the music of Billy Joel. Backed by a 7 piece band of fellow Joelophiles, Gene tears through the hits, and only the hits, from the man from Oyster Bay.
Gene Ween: Lead Vocals
