Madman Across The Water - The Music of Elton John is a new project from Seattle-based artist Andrew Vait (SISTERS, The Little Lies).

The project is built on the energy and momentum of Vait's Fleetwood Mac tribute, The Little Lies, and faithful to the mythos of Elton John.

Vait carefully chose the words to describe the project, emphasizing that the focus is on interpreting and upholding the unrivaled craftsmanship in songwriting and stage performance that threads through Elton John’s legacy.

“Madman Across The Water” honors the music of Elton John and is dedicated to the memory of Vait’s mother who died in September of 2022 after a battle with cancer. Vait recalls listening to Elton John with his mom: “We would listen together and she would sing along while I learned the words.” The music instilled in Vait a deep sense of empathy and softness that has profoundly influenced his career as a performer and recording artist.

Vait describes a dream he had as a child shortly after beginning piano lessons, where he could move his hands across the keyboard and the sounds of Elton John would come gliding out. “It was as simple as flying," Vait muses. In a sense, this project is a dream come true for Vait.

If you know and love the music of Elton John, you don't want to miss Madman Across The Water.

DJ Rojito is a Seattle-based Latin DJ with a diverse sound. Born in Silver Springs, Maryland, Rojito was thrust into a popping east coast music scene. Rojito was born from an immigrant family (Dominican) and an American family of musical diversity. It was here he was able to hear and develop sounds that others simply could not, allowing him to have a different vibe.

Being the son of a military man also gave Rojito the opportunity to move to different regions and allowed him to develop a diverse palate in music. Coming from the northeast, Rojito was always fascinated with music, so he bought his first console and has been at it ever since.

DJing in locations in NYC, Allentown, Destin and Orlando, he is now performing in the Seattle area, with residency at the Night Owl in Tacoma and the Golden Fleece in Everett. Rojito also rotates at Club SUR and other locations in the Pacific Northwest. His focus is to read the crowd and let people hear a different vibe that they will not hear from any other DJ. El único.
