No sad songs

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Elton Rohn will play at 7 p.m. Friday in Greensburg’s St. Clair Park as part of the SummerSounds weekly concert series.

Billed as “the elite Elton John tribute of North America,” the eight-piece band is fronted by Ron Camilleri, who brings the voice, piano, look and feel of the iconic “Rocket Man” to the stage. Backed for the evening by the Westmoreland Symphony Strings, the group will present a show that recalls a 1970s Elton John concert.

Pre-show music will be by Pittsburgh singer/songwriter Henry Bachorski.

Admission is free; donations are taken during intermission. For details, visit summersounds.com.
