Tribute to Elton John
Featuring Jeff "Scott" Artamonov

 

Jeff's Bio A native of Toronto, Canada, Jeff started playing piano at age 7, and studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music for 11 years.  His professional career began in the late 1980's, quickly gaining regular work in local clubs and piano bars. During this time, Jeff also managed to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree from York University.  since 1995 he has toured North America extensively with the band "Bennie and the Jets" - a tribute to Elton John - a band he founded and plays the lead character in.  Jeff is also an original member of a fantastic salute to the music of Abba called "ABBA Gold", playing the role of Benny Anderson. Along with his strong vocal and piano skills on stage, Jeff is also an accomplished songwriter, penning several songs for himself and others in the custom designed digital recording studio at his home. PERFORMANCES Jeff has been performing the music of Elton John for nearly a decade. His stage show features an array of dazzling outfits, superb and skillful piano playing, and of course, the distinctive and powerful vocals we have come to know and love.  Combined with the flamboyant personality and even the subtle mannerism, the visual aspect of the show is fabulous. The musical repertoire is equally stunning, featuring songs from over 3 decades of memorable hits - so you are sure to hear all your favorites. The show has been performed all across North America, in venues ranging from stadiums and arenas, theatres and nightclubs, and to live television & radio broadcasts.  The response has always been fantastic! Jeff  has also performed in numerous casinos around North America, including stints in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. "Bennie" does a Solo Act (live at the grand piano), and also with his Band "Bennie And The Jets" -  a 5-piece group able to reproduce note-perfect renditions of all the classic hits!
