The Erie Philharmonic kicked off its Pops season with a night of Elton John’s greatest hits, featuring Michael Cavanaugh, who has been called the “new voice of the American rock and roll songbook” on Saturday night.

Cavanaugh returned to Erie for the season opener, wowing the audience with songs from Elton John’s legendary catalog.

During “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” Erie’s own Becca Keim of Rooftop Project joined Cavanaugh on stage to sing the Kiki Dee part.

From “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” to “Philadelphia Freedom,” the performance featured some of Elton John’s biggest hits, all backed by the Erie Philharmonic.

If you missed Saturday’s performance, there’s another show Sunday at 3 p.m.
