This year's Michael S. Monaghan Scholarship fundraiser features Billy M and his band in this multi-media, full band performance that celebrates the life of Billy Joel and his music.

Did Billy Joel really flip a piano? Play in a heavy metal band? And lose most of his money? Twice? Find out this and more!

Billy M presents an hour of the life of singer/songwriter extraordinaire Billy Joel: story teller, Rock n Roller, Piano Man.

Billy Joel’s career has been far from a simple, sweet melody, and Billy M will bring you through his life and music.

Audience members relive their own lives as they learn about Billy Joel’s struggles and challenges, successes and triumphs, and of course, the songs and albums and their place in pop culture and modern history.

Billy M performs hit songs, fan favorites, and obscure masterpieces as he connects the dots along the timeline of Billy Joel and his music.

Bill Monaghan is a Bucks County singer, songwriter, musician, and producer who is active in the community and has original music sales worldwide. Bill and the band have been performing music for more than three decades.
