The Chocolate Church Arts Center, at 804 Washington Street in Bath, has announced two outdoor performances from Yellow Brick Road, a Tribute to Elton John on Saturday, Oct. 17. The shows, at 1 and 4 p.m., will be presented on the Great Lawn at Maine Maritime Museum, and will wrap up a series of such concerts presented by the Chocolate Church Arts Center since July.
 
The concerts will be presented to maximum audiences of 80 people, who will be separated by 14 feet into two groups of 40. Per CDC guidelines and requirements from the state of Maine, audience members will be spaced at least six feet apart, and staff will enforce mask wearing, distancing, hand sanitizing, and other health and safety measures at all events.
 
Maine’s own Yellow Brick Road, a Tribute to Elton John pays faithful homage to one of the great songwriters and performers of the 1970s and 1980s. The band’s shows include dozens of Elton John hits from “Your Song” to “Bennie and the Jets” and “Rocket Man”, and also feature the flashy costumes and high-energy performance style of the legendary artist. The band is led by Gerald Brann, who has a degree in jazz piano from the University of Maine at Augusta and has been performing professionally for over 35 years. Since the early 1980s, Brann has performed in many bands, most notably “The Barking Spiders,” “Ultimate Sin” (An Ozzy Osbourne Tribute) and “The Deal.”
