What is The Pop Show? Pop decadence done right: Each month we pick a different pop music theme. Irresistible performers collide with the pulsating Pop Show Band to bring you rare, unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime singer/song pairings. Depending on the show, it could be pop. It could be country. It could be 70s soul or 80s glam. It could be an entire concert of Amy Winehouse songs. Or The Doors. Or One Direction. (But probably not One Direction.) Surprise guests, audience giveaways and delirious musical merriment make The Pop Show New York's most unmissable and unpredictable concert event.

Tickets for The Pop Show Presents...Billy Joel! ($30 - $35 + $10 food/beverage minimum) are available by calling (212) 581-3080 or visiting www.PopShowNYC.com.

Birdland is located at 315 West 44th Street, New York City.
