The 5th Annual Nic Pagano LGBTQIA + Scholarship for Recovery - Celebrating The Music of Elton John : Rock Band in New York

About The 5th Annual Nic Pagano LGBTQIA + Scholarship for Recovery - Celebrating The Music of Elton John

The 5th Annual Nic Pagano LGBTQIA+ Scholarship for Recovery – Celebrating the Music of Elton John is a recurring concert event presented at City Winery NYC, framed around Elton John’s rock/pop catalog and a scholarship mission. The program has drawn a rotating cast of New York–area and national artists, including Jim Boggia, Glenn Burtnik, Marshall Crenshaw, Early Elton Trio, Bettye LaVette, and Kate Pierson, alongside the music of Elton John. It’s built as a collective performance rather than a single-fronted tribute. The approach favors faithful arrangements and ensemble storytelling over impersonation.
