SPRINGFIELD --  Enjoy an iconic songbook from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, "Still Standing, an Elton John Tribute," will perform live at the Mars Theatre on June 3 at 7 p.m.

"Still Standing" is a performance group based in Florida, playing venues throughout the Southeast, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-Western states. As its namesake implies, the show carries on the legacy and amazing music of the iconic Sir Elton John. 

Close your eyes and you will swear you are listening to John in person, as the amazing Ben Frey looks and sounds just like the legend. Expect all the huge hits, including "Candle in the Wind," "Rocket Man," "Bennie & the Jets," "Tiny Dancer," "Your Song,"" Circle of Life," "Crocodile Rock" and many others. 

Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, Ben “Almost Elton” Frey has been referred to as the closest representation of Elton’s look and vocals on the tribute circuit. He and his band of professionals are dedicated to working on every detail that deliver an incredible Elton John experience. 

Tickets range in price from $25-$45 and can be purchased online at www.marstheatre.com, in person at the theatre or at Springfield City Hall, Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. (912-754-7617). Beer and wine are available at all live shows.
