    Music concert by Turnstiles

    Tickets are now available online for a live music concert by Turnstiles, a Billy Joel tribute band, as a fundraiser for the Remember Me Rose Garden.

    The concert takes place from 4-7 p.m. July 14 at the Corbriwood Performance Stage, 36 Corbriwood Lane in the Gibsonia area. Those who plan to attend should bring their own lawn chairs, food and beverages, as the concert will be held rain or shine.

    Turnstiles is led by Tony Monaco, a western Pennsylvania native who formed the band 13 years ago with other South Florida musicians to "pay tribute to the man he (Monaco) has so much respect and admiration for, Billy Joel," according to the band's website.

    "Never intending to be an impersonator, his focus instead is simply on the music and delivering a faithful and completely live Billy Joel experience to share with others," the band's biography reads.

    Joey Wodarek, a singer/songwriter from Pittsburgh, is also performing at the event as a special guest.
