SUMMARY:Virtual Blue Hawk Records Release Show for “Reviver"
DESCRIPTION:With the ever-changing\, and at times frightening outside world\, there is one thing that’s for certain: nothing can stop the music. Blue Hawk Records has been grinding to perfect their seventeenth compilation album\, Reviver. Since the start of the fall 2020 semester\, the team has been meeting regularly\, held in-person and virtual auditions\, went into Lakehouse Recording Studio in Asbury Park to record\, mix\, and master the album\, and is set for an upcoming virtual release show. The release show will be held on Instagram live on December 9 starting at 8 pm. The Instagram handle to tune in to is @bluehawkrecordsoffical. \nIncluded are two rappers\, Hasan Chambers and Gabe Garza\, otherwise known as Double G\, both whose songs take the listener through a story-like experience with a moving message. A&R reps Ethan Christensen and Mikey Sacnhez\, helped arrange\, and recorded on\, artist Charlie Krause’s piano-based song “Those Green Eyes”\, giving it a driving full-band sound. Nick Garretch and his band\, White Wing\, contributed a modern day\, fist-pumping\, rock track with “Out All Night”. With the team’s help\, Monmouth freshman and solo singer-songwriter\, Abby Garcia\, took her once acoustic-only song\, “Silver Linings” and added various musical elements to give it a very current and mystical sound. Rapper-Singer\, Justin Ume\, known as UME\, who already has an impressive following\, contributed the hit-sounding pop track\, “At The Tone”. \nThe Live release show will be hosted by one of Monmouth University’s WMCX top DJ’s\, Kayla Booker\, and will feature live performances by our artists. \nYou can find and follow Blue Hawk Records at @bluehawkrecordsofficial \n

SUMMARY:Go Now! The Music of The Moody Blues LIVE streamed from the Harlequin Theatre
DESCRIPTION:In an endless sea of rock and pop formats\, The Moody Blues distinguished themselves through five decades as that shimmering jewel vindicating rock music as a substantial artistic contribution to Western culture.  Since the 60’s\, as a part of the historic original British invasion of Supergroups\, The Moody Blues lit up the hearts and minds of millions of rock fans with inspiring anthems like “Nights in White Satin\,” “Tuesday Afternoon” and “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock and Roll Band)\,” which express universal themes of love\, compassion and peace.  They have sold in excess of 70 million albums worldwide and have been awarded an astonishing 14 platinum and gold discs. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll hall of Fame in 2018 and ceased touring at that time. \nGordon Marshall\, drummer with The Moody Blues for over 25 years\, knew that there was a hunger in the market for Moody Blues music.  To fill the void\, he put together an amazing group of musicians and formed the band GO NOW!\, a tribute to the music of The Moody Blues. Mick Wilson\, the lead singer of GO NOW!\, was the lead singer with 10cc for over 20 years.  Gordon and Mick are joined on stage by Patrick Duffin\, Ryan Farmery and Nick Kendall\, and together recreate the magical music we all know including all the major hits.  With 25 years experience with The Moody Blues\, Gordon has created true-to-the-original arrangements\, making every performance truly magical. \nThe live streamed performance at the Harlequin Theatre in London marks the first time since early spring that the band will come together and perform\, on stage at this beautiful theatre\, with a brand new\, never before seen concert!

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Edda Glass and Max Hatt
DESCRIPTION:Max Hatt / Edda Glass have “an incomparable spook” (Nashville Scene) and “a unique sound” (Larry Groce\, NPR)\, comprised of Glass’s unmistakable voice and Hatt’s lyrical guitar. Originally based in Montana\, their award-winning original music and unique interpretations of American and Brazilian standards have taken them all the way to New York City’s Lincoln Center\, DC’s Kennedy Center\, NPR Mountain Stage\, Sundance Film Fest and Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival. Praised for her “impeccable vocal command” (PopMatters) and compared to a gamut of singers from Astrud Gilberto to Billie Holiday\, Glass’s voice is ultimately “one of a kind…you cannot confuse her with another artist” (New York Theatre Guide). Hatt’s equally distinctive guitar work combines the harmonic innovations of jazz with the melodic resonance of folk\, creating music that’s “subtly poignant\, elegantly funky\, and haunting without trying to be” (Nels Cline\, Wilco). Together\, Max Hatt / Edda Glass evoke a world that stretches from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the prairies of the American west\, telling stories of little people on great plains\, and leaving audiences with a feeling both light and deep.

SUMMARY:The Smithereens with Guest Vocalist Marshall Crenshaw
DESCRIPTION:“The Smithereens roared into the breach. They are one of those rare bands who produce great-sounding recordings… and sound even greater live.” -Kevin Coughlon \nSpecial guest vocalist Marshall Crenshaw will be joining Jim Babjak\, Dennis Diken and Mike Mesaros of The Smithereens. \nKnown for their catchy 1960s-influenced power pop that inspired countless alternative rockers\, The Smithereens gained popularity with “11” the album that spawned college campus favorites “A Girl Like You”\, “Blood and Roses” & “Blue Period”. In April of 2011 Smithereens released “2011” their first album of new material in 12 years. Produced by Don Dixon (who helmed “Especially For You”\, the group’s breakout debut)\, the seminal New Jersey rockers picked up right where they left off: with irresistibly catchy hooks and rapturously fuzzed-out guitars. Now they’re back on the road with their catalog of classic hits as well as new favorites. Following the sad passing of lead vocalist Pat DiNizio in 2017\, original members Jim Babjak (guitar & vocals)\, Dennis Diken (drums & percussion) and Mike Mesaros on bass guitar carry on the Smithereens legacy. \nOver the course of a recording career that’s spanned three decades\, 13 albums and hundreds of songs\, Marshall Crenshaw’s musical output has maintained a consistently high level of artistry\, craftsmanship and passion\, endearing him to a broad and loyal fan base. After getting an early break playing John Lennon in a touring company of the Broadway musical Beatlemania\, Crenshaw began his recording career with the now-legendary indie single “Something’s Gonna Happen.” The Eighties saw Marshall hit the charts again with “Someday\, Someway\,” “Cynical Girl\,” “Whenever You’re On My Mind\,” “Maryanne\,” “You’re My Favorite Waste of Time” and more compositions covered by artists including Ronnie Spector\, Gin Blossoms and Bette Midler. Crenshaw is recognized as one of the era’s preeminent rock ’ n’ rollers\, confirmed by such subsequent albums as Field Day\, Downtown\, Mary Jean & 9 Others\, Good Evening\, Life’s Too Short\, Miracle of Science\, #447\, What’s in the Bag? and Jaggedland.

SUMMARY:Cherish the Ladies
DESCRIPTION:Cherish The Ladies are a Grammy Award nominated Irish-American super group that formed in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a male-dominated Celtic music scene.

As their reputation and admiration from both fans and critics alike continues to grow\, Cherish The Ladies blazes forward into another decade of music making.

SUMMARY:Pat Metheny Side-Eye w/ James Francies & Marcus Gilmore
DESCRIPTION:Pat Metheny is launching a new playing environment called “Side-Eye” for this upcoming season. \nPat explains “I wanted to create an ongoing setting to feature a rotating cast of new and upcoming musicians who have particularly caught my interest along the way.” \nPat continues “From my earliest days in Kansas City onward\, I was the beneficiary of so many older musicians giving me a platform to develop my thing through the prism of their experience and the particular demands of what their music implied. I have been feeling like I wanted to have a specific platform to focus on some of the many younger musicians I have enjoyed recently who I have felt some kind of a kinship with.” \n“I hear regularly from new players on the scene who have professed an influence from my records and tunes and I often invite them up to my house to play. Very often\, it is really natural and organic to the music to play with them\, they have literally grown up with it. I find myself inspired by how they deal with the musical challenges that come with the territory of some of those older tunes\, and at the same time I find myself intrigued with the possibilities of what might be possible in writing new music just for them. This band setting is what that will be all about.”

SUMMARY:Songwriters by the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished NJ Songwriters Joe Rapolla and Joe D’Urso are back this year hosting the celebrated Songwriters by the Sea series at the Lauren K. Woods Theatre. What once started in a small coffee shop as an area for local songwriters has now grown into a series that features some of the top songwriters in the country. This year\, the show features special guest artists Jeffrey Gaines and ERYN with an intro set by Mark Geary. The show will also feature Monmouth University student openers: Max Adolf and Kelli Misenheimer. \nThroughout his two-and-a-half-decade recording career\, Jeffrey Gaines has maintained an impressive standard for soul-searching\, introspective lyrics and catchy\, uplifting melodies. Since bursting on the scene with his self-titled 1992 debut album\, the charismatic singer-songwriter-guitarist has built a beloved body of recordings that’s won him a large and deeply devoted international fan base. Now\, after an extended absence from the recording studio\, Gaines returns with Alright\, his first Omnivore Recordings release and his first set of new studio material since 2003’s Toward the Sun. Street date is January 26\, 2018. The new album features ten irresistible examples of the Philadelphia-based artist’s personally charged songcraft\, performed with the same effortless exuberance that’s long been a hallmark of Gaines’ artful recordings and his dazzling live performances. \nEryn combines the old school sound that evokes the rhythms and recording techniques of the past with a modern pop mindset and powerhouse live performance. She is the youngest person to be inducted into the NJ/NY Blues Hall of Fame\, a BELK southern musician showcase winner\, and a multi Asbury Park Music award winner. \nSponsored by the Leon Hess Business School\nAll proceeds benefit the Music Industry Endowed Scholarship

SUMMARY:Matt O'Ree Band
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, The Matt O’Ree Band has done what most area bands do. They’ve played their shows\, developed their sound\, released their records and very quietly built a massive fan base in the process. \nWhat makes this band different from all the others is that their local fan base includes Bruce Springsteen\, David Bryan and Steve Cropper\, all of whom have volunteered to perform on the band’s latest album\, “Brotherhood”. \nPrior to Brotherhood’s release\, Matt’s talent was recognized globally when he got the nod to join rock legends Bon Jovi as their guitarist/backing vocalist on their 2015 stadium tour of the Far East. \nIn addition to being a creative songwriter\, Matt was recognized by the industry as a guitar great after winning a national guitar contest hosted by BB King and John Mayer through Guitar Center and Guitar World Magazine. Matt beat out over 4\,000 competitors to win the grand prize which consisted of multiple guitars\, an endorsement from Gibson\, a shopping spree at Guitar Center and a new car from Scion. This major accomplishment was the spark that jump started his career and gave his band momentum for their future success. \nGrowing up on influencers ranging from Jimi Hendrix\, Cream\, Led Zeppelin\, Deep Purple\, Rory Gallagher\, ZZ Top\, Robin Trower\, Joe Walsh and Stevie Ray Vaughan\, The Matt O’Ree Band has taken all these diverse elements and forged a new iron. \nThe band takes their fans on a ride that hasn’t been heard or seen at this level since the ’70s. Their live show is like revisiting a Zeppelin concert at the Garden\, and with Scott Bennert on bass\, John Hummel on drums\, Layonne Holmes and Eryn Shewell laying down angelically gutsy backing vocals\, and keyboard duties brilliantly shared by Matt Wade and Dave Archer\, Matt and company have built a foundation that can hold up the biggest house on the block. \nAfter years of honing their craft\, the Matt O’Ree Band has become an overnight success. Get M.O.B.’d up with New Jersey’s next great export.
