“Cavanaugh may have been picked by Billy Joel to star in Joel’s Broadway show. Cavanaugh, singing “Your Song” or “Candle in the Wind,” nails John’s tone, phrasing and inflection.” The Grand Rapids Press

“Amazing.” The New York Times

“Cavanaugh sings in a high, almost boyish tenor. His sound is reminiscent of Joel’s early recordings, and his interpretations of Joel’s tunes, both vocally and at the piano, are part homage and part his own take. He brings tremendous energy to every moment he spends on stage.” Elaine Schmidt, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
