In 2018, DelGuidice celebrated his fifth year anniversary as a member of Billy Joel’s live band, which performs monthly at Madison Square Garden, as part of his residency. He continues to astound audiences each time when he performs “Nessun Dorma,” thus showcasing three octaves (on key), with Billy Joel accompanying him on piano.
In his live shows with his Billy Joel tribute band, Big Shot, DelGuidice continues to pay homage to other classic rock artists. He has covered songs by such diverse musical acts as Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Neil Diamond, James Taylor, The Beatles, John Mellencamp, Elton John, Tom Petty, and John Mayer, and his tone and sound are quite identical to the original recordings.
Speaking of Big Shot, the band is comprised of DelGuidice on lead vocals and piano, as well as John Scarpulla on saxophone, Tommy Byrnes on lead guitar, Chuck Burgi on drums, Nick Dimichino on bass guitar and Carmine Giglio on keyboards.
DelGuidice’s solo work is quite impressive as well, especially his single “Mona Lisa,” which earns him a tremendous response during his concerts. As a solo recording artist, DelGuidice released two albums, Miller Place (2007) and My Street (2011).
This year, DelGuidice also made a cameo on the big screen, where he guest starred in one episode of Kevin Can Wait, starring comedian Kevin James, prior to the show’s cancellation.
DelGuidice is also a true philanthropist who helps many charitable causes that are dear to his heart. This past November, he played “A Benefit for Veterans,” in partnership with General Needs, a nonprofit that aids homeless veterans on Long Island, as well as their families.
