The Captain and The Kid Tour

June 5, 2006

Elton John and his band will appear live as part of his 2006 “The Captain and the Kid Tour” on September 20th at 8:00pm. Elton John performs with his long-time band, Davey Johnstone on guitar; Guy Babylon on keyboards; Bob Birch on bass guitar; John Mahon on percussion; and Nigel Olsson on drums.

“We’re honored to welcome back Elton John to Taco Bell Arena,” said Joyce Grimes, Executive Director of Taco Bell Arena. “Performers of his magnitude rarely include secondary markets such as ours, and we are thrilled that he is including Boise and the Treasure Valley in the much sought after “The Captain and The Kid” tour. His previous performance in 1999 touched the community of Boise, and we know they will be as excited as we are to welcome him back.”

The legendary career of Elton John has spanned more than three decades. By all measures, he is one of the world’s most successful touring artist and one of the top-selling solo artists of all time. Elton John has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, with 29 consecutive Top 40 Hits and 35 gold and 25 platinum albums.

Elton is currently working on his new album, The Captain and The Kid, which will be released this Sept. This is the sequel to his triple platinum album “Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy,” which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with an expanded deluxe edition.

While his Tony award-winning “Aida” and long-running “The Lion King” musicals reigned on tour and on Broadway, the artist wrote music for “Billy Elliot – the Musical.” Based on the similarly titled hit movie, “Billy Elliot – The Musical” debuted in London’s famed West End theatre district in May 2005 and is a smash hit. Elliot was nominated for a record 9 Oliver Awards, winning Best Musical, among others.
