EP 127 - In Conversation with Dan Orlando (Lords of 52nd Street)
Glass Houses - A Billy Joel PodcastShow Notes
Since joining the Lords of 52nd Street in 2021, Dan Orlando's post as piano player and lead singer has become much more than a job, albeit a crucial one, in a legacy act.
The group features the music of Billy Joel played by Liberty DeVitto, Richie Cannata and Russell Javors, who played live and in the studio on most of Billy's biggest hits. Over the last few years, the ties between Dan and his bandmates have extended far beyond their performances. The experience also rejuvenated his passion for writing, recording and producing new music.
That includes Heritage Trail, Dan's most recent album, released earlier this year, and more recordings and collaborations on deck for 2025.
In our conversation, Dan speaks about the impact his bandmates have had on him, discovering new aspects of songs he grew up on, and creating music for himself and others.
Join us as we catch up with The Lords of 52nd Street’s own Dan Orlando.
