If you love the music of Billy Joel and Elton John, downtown Braselton is about to give you a reason to sing along!

The fall edition of LIVE from Braselton returns Friday, October 16, with Billy and The Jets, a high-energy tribute band celebrating two of music's most recognizable performers. The free outdoor concert takes place from 7 to 10 p.m. on the Braselton Town Green.

From "Piano Man" to "Rocket Man," the evening promises familiar favorites, incredible musicianship, and the kind of music that brings generations together.

Two Music Legends. One Incredible Tribute.

Billy and The Jets isn't your typical cover band. The group was created by vocalist and pianist Paul Hand and bassist TJ Jones, combining their musical talents and production experience to bring the sounds and showmanship of Billy Joel and Elton John to the stage.

Hand leads the performance with piano and vocals, while Jones brings his expertise in bass, audio production, and visual design. They're joined by guitarist Val Allen Wood, drummer Mike Francoeur, and saxophonist Will Smith.

Together, the musicians recreate the piano-driven melodies, powerful vocals, and memorable performances that made both artists household names.

For fans who grew up listening to these songs, it's a chance to revisit some favorites. And for younger audiences, it's an introduction to music that has stood the test of time.

Make It a VIP Night

While general admission to LIVE from Braselton is completely free, there's another option for those who want to make the evening a little more special.

VIP tables offer premier seating for up to eight guests, making them a great choice for a night out with friends or family. Each table also includes eight $15 meal vouchers to use at the food trucks, plus special Explore Braselton gifts waiting for you and your guests at your table.

Whether you're planning a date night, gathering a group of friends, or simply want to enjoy the concert with a few extra perks, a VIP table is a fun way to experience the show.

VIP tables require advance reservations, so be sure to secure yours early!

More Music and a Great Evening Downtown

Opening the evening is BlairOutLoud, performing a mix of classic rock, 80s favorites, 90s alternative hits, and acoustic covers before Billy and The Jets take the stage.

Concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early, grab dinner at a downtown restaurant, or stop by the Braselton Farmers Market, which runs from 4 to 7 p.m.

Bring your lawn chairs or picnic blankets and settle in for a night of music under the stars.
