The Piano Man (and the drummer too).

“Its 8:00 on a Friday. The regular crowd at John & Tony’s Italian Steakhouse rushes in….Play us song you’re the piano man.”

The piano man obliges, he can play Billy Joel. In fact, the piano man at John & Tony’s Italian Steakhouse can play everything from Sinatra to Bon Jovi. The piano man can also provide a recommendation for the perfect cut of thick, juicy steak or which small plate appetizers would be delicious starters for your meal. Better yet, the drummer can too.

John Badway is the piano man AND the owner of John & Tony’s Italian Steakhouse, while the drummer is none other than Tony Badway, John’s son and the restaurant’s co-owner and operator. Did we mention that Tony sometimes plays the bass too? Impressive? Yes.

This father-son combo will take the stage Friday, November 26th and will entertain the crowd for the first time together since they opened John & Tony’s Italian Steakhouse in March. This cross-generational pairing allows for the musical selections that run the gamut of genres, from 80’s and 90’s cover tunes to crooner classics. However, with an added guitar player, this trio actually focuses on playing the blues.

Riffing on the musical theme, John & Tony’s signature cocktails available in the lounge or with dinner are inspired by well-know song titles such as Smoke on the Water, Purple Haze, Uptown Girl and more.
