Last Song
“Piano Man” by Billy Joel
This playlist runs from Sinatra-era jazz standards and a greenhouse-ready cocktail hour into a wide-open dance floor of 70s disco, 2000s pop, classic hip-hop, and country singalongs from Madalyn and Ben’s wedding reception at The Atrium in Prospect, Pennsylvania, just north of Pittsburgh. The entrances alone spanned Creed, AC/DC, and Mariah Carey, and the night closed out with Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” From smooth crooners over dinner to a Shaboozey and Zac Brown country stretch late in the evening, the mix kept every generation on their feet.
