The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame presents the exhibit “Billy Joel: My Life, A Piano Man’s Journey.” This exhibit is the first of its kind, as it is dedicated exclusively to a LIMEHOF inductee. The attraction opened to the public on November 24 and had a strong opening weekend with eager visitors who flocked to visit the exhibit located at 97 Main Street in Stony Brook.
“It was a thrill to see a long line of eager fans at our opening,” said LIMEHOF Chairman Ernie Canadeo. “The smiles on everyone’s faces after they experienced the exhibit and the Hall of Fame was priceless. Billy Joel truly touches people of all ages, and this exhibit is testament to his legacy as Long Island’s favorite entertainer.”
This exclusive exhibit showcases over 50 years of Billy Joel’s most cherished items, which include rare memorabilia, behind-the-scenes video footage, dozens of awards, rare audio and video recordings, vintage instruments, and historic photos — many of which were donated by Billy Joel himself and have never before been displayed for public viewing.
“Billy Joel: My Life, A Piano Man’s Journey” was created by renowned designer and LIMEHOF board member Kevin O’Callaghan, who also designed the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame.
“It has been a thrill and an honor to work with Billy in creating this extraordinary testament to his life and music,” said O’Callaghan. “It is one of the highlights of my long career, and I’m sure visitors will be thrilled with the result.”
LIMEHOF is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 AM to 6 PM. Tickets are available for sale at TheBillyJoelExhibit.com or may be purchased in person at LIMEHOF.
