After the hoopla of Christmas and before New Year’s celebrations begin, escape from the holiday madness. Catch a concert at a local venue during the in-between. Here are six shows not to miss that are happening during the holiday lull.

DEC. 26: PIANO MEN: YELLOW BRICK JOEL AT FLAGSTAR AT WESTBURY MUSIC FAIR 

960 Brush Hollow Rd., Westbury

David Clark from All About Joel and Bill Connors from American Elton join forces for the second annual Piano Men: Yellow Brick Joel show at 8 p.m. These singer-pianists will impersonate Billy Joel and Elton John by recreating their famous "Face to Face Tour."

"We come out together and do a couple of songs. I leave and Bill does a 25-minute set. Then he leaves and I do a 25-minute set," says Clark, who grew up in Hempstead. "After an intermission, we come out together, both barrels blazing, singing each other’s songs in a rapid second act. It’s super fun."

The show will include Joel classics like "Only the Good Die Young," "It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me," "New York State of Mind" and "Miami 2017” as well as John favorites such as "Saturday Night’s Alright (for Fighting)," "Crocodile Rock," "Rocket Man" and "Benny and the Jets."

"It’s all hit friendly," Clark promises. "We want people to leave satisfied."

DEC. 26: DECADIA AT THE WAREHOUSE 

203 Broadway, Amityville

Dance and sing along to the pop rock explosion of Decadia, a tribute band that zeroes in on the music of the '70s, '80s and '90s at 6:30 p.m.

"This band doesn’t worry about costumes or wigs but rather focuses on the music. We try to sound as close to the artists as possible," says singer Peter Cintorino, of Bethpage. "Decadia acts like a time machine by giving you all the things that you forgot you loved."

The band serves as a mixtape of dance songs from Cyndi Lauper, Madonna and Prince to arena rock anthems by Bon Jovi, Journey and Boston to artists who came and went like The Outfield, Tommy Tutone and The Human League.

Cintorino notes, "We want people to come out and as Billy Joel said, ‘Forget about life for awhile’ by leaving the stress at home and party with us."

It comes from the heart. For us, it's organic."
