Tribute Bands and Events in the Lower Mainland
It’s so much fun seeing your favourite artist live in concert. However, some of the most famous musicians no longer tour, or, when they do, getting tickets can be ridiculously challenging and expensive. This is where tribute bands come in. They are talented groups of singers and musicians that put on shows and sing popular songs by popular artists. The events are a blast to go to. You can sing and dance to your favourite tunes with friends and family, and all for a very reasonable price.
Moon Coin Productions is a local company dedicated to providing high quality shows and entertainment to audiences in Canada and internationally. The organization helps artists share their music with the world by hosting events throughout the year. While the company signs original artists, many of their concerts are also headlined by tribute bands.
Some of their best tribute bands include ABRA Cadabra (ABBA), The Rocket Man (Elton John), The Piano Man (Billy Joel) and Take It To the Limit (the Eagles). Based in the Lower Mainland, they perform throughout Canada and internationally. The Country Divas also have concerts in the Vancouver region some years. These are all great bands and their concerts are highly recommended!

The Rocket Man
The name of this tribute band is a reference to the hit single of the same name by Elton John. The Rocket Man tribute band features piano stylings and vocals by Ryan Langevin (who also performs as Billy Joel with The Piano Man). He is joined on stage by a live band and talented dancers who bring the joy of Elton John’s music to audiences across Canada.
Elton John is a British singer who has been in the industry since the early 1960s. Most of his music is considered Rock or Pop Rock. He is recognized as one of the most successful artists ever, having sold over 300 million records throughout his career. Some of Elton John’s most famous songs include “Bennie and the Jets,” “Crocodile Rock,” “Candle in the Wind,” and “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues.” He is also famous for “Circle of Life” from the Disney movie The Lion King.
We saw this show in 2023 and it was so much fun! Ryan Langevin was amazing. There were 10 artists in the show including eight musicians and a couple of dancers.

The Piano Man
One of Billy Joel’s most famous songs is The Piano Man. That’s also the singer’s nickname as well as the name of the show starring Ryan Langevin who performs the music of Billy Joel with Moon Coin Productions. Ryan has performed at lots of major Lower Mainland events including at Concerts on The Pier in White Rock, the summer PNE Fair at the Pacific National Exhibition, West Vancouver’s Harmony Arts Festival, the Langley Canada Day Celebrations and various other events.
Born in New York in 1949, the real Billy Joel is an American artist who’s famous for his piano playing and hit songs like “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” “Honesty,” and “Uptown Girl.” Other songs you’ll recognize Ryan Langevin singing include “It’s Still Rock n Roll to Me,” “River of Dreams,” “My Life,” and “Only the Good Die Young.” Billy Joel has sold over 160 million records over the course of his career.
We really enjoyed The Piano Man concert when we went. Ryan Langevin sounded just like Billy Joel!
