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.

Twin sisters Jessi and Jenni and five brothers Josh\, Jonathan\, Jordan\, Justin\, and Jamison\, now ranging in age from 26 down to 17\, learned to sing and play violin as young kids and spent much of their childhood performing in their community. After widening their following and playing at theaters\, festivals and universities around the country—and teaching themselves to play instruments like mandolin\, piano\, ukulele\, banjo\, and drums — The Hunts started experimenting with songwriting and soon brought to life a batch of songs that reveal their sophisticated sense of melody and undeniably dreamy innocence. \nInspired by shared memories\, The Hunts have created songs that capture heartache and wonder with a wide-eyed but wistful elegance. The Hunts hold true to a songwriting process that taps into each member’s unique strengths but remains intensely collaborative. That unified approach infuses their music with an irresistible richness of spirit. Their songs are artfully arranged yet instilled with a graceful simplicity. While getting seven strong-minded brothers and sisters to agree on every last note and lyric can sometimes be chaotic\, The Hunts note that the synergy born from that chaos is what makes the band so strong.

Jimy Bleu truly brings the Hendrix spirit to the stage. And that is no small task. They have my full endorsement.” \nKatie Daryl\, Host and producer of AXS-TV show The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands: “Kiss The Sky is spectacular! So often with tribute bands people say close your eyes\, they sound just like them\, but with Kiss The Sky you MUST keep your eyes open because the guitar playing\, vintage gear\, costumes and stage presence of the band is so very precise and out of this world your jaw will drop!” \nOPENING BAND HEAVY CREAM \nHEAVY CREAM is quickly becoming the definitive tribute to CREAM\, rock music’s original SUPER GROUP! \nFor the first time\, with stunning historical accuracy in both look and sound\, a tribute to Cream has been assembled…HEAVY CREAM out of PHILADELPHIA starring teenage guitar phenom Billy “The Kid” Thoden in the part of Eric Clapton.

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 Willie Nile. \nThe New York Times called Willie Nile “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.” His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by UNCUT magazine. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” Bono\, Bruce Springsteen\, Pete Townshend\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, Jim Jarmusch\, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises. His album\, American Ride\, won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the Independent Music Awards. Willie has toured across the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. As the induction program from the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame says: “His live performances are legendary.” In the summer of 2017 Willie Nile released his 11th studio album Positively Bob – Willie Nile Sings Bob Dylan to rave reviews.

After Men At Work’s rise\, demise and a period of reflection\, Hay embarked on a solo career\, debuting in 1987 with Looking For Jack (the title of which supposedly referred to a brief encounter Hay had with actor Jack Nicholson). Hay continued to release critically acclaimed solo material with regularity throughout the 2000’s\, including Wayfaring Sons\, Peaks & Valleys\, Topanga\, 1998’s Transcendental Highway\, 2007’s Are You Lookin’ at Me?\, American Sunshine\, 2011’s Gathering Mercury\, which was followed in 2015 by Next Year People.  \nHay contributed “I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You” to the soundtrack of Garden State and has had roles in other cult movies such as Cosi and television shows such as Scrubs\, The Larry Sanders Show\, JAG\, The Mick Molloy Show and What About Brian. Hay has also been a member of Ringo Starr’s eighth and tenth All-Starr Bands. In 2017 Hay recorded and released his 13th solo album\, Fierce Mercy\, an epic\, cinematic step forward from the singer-songwriter who has become increasingly known for his wonderfully witty and intimate performances as well as his ever-present great voice and incisive song writing .  \nThe range of artists who have chosen to cite him as a muse is vast and varied and include the likes of Metallica and The Lumineers\, reflecting his continuing relevance and broad appeal.Presented by UMT presents URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/clhay17/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Concerts,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/colin_hero1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170923T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170923T230000 DTSTAMP:20260403T230148 CREATED:20180725T203333Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T203333Z UID:40810101011-1506196800-1506207600@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:An Intimate Evening of Songs and Stories with Graham Nash DESCRIPTION:Please note this event is SOLD OUT. Artist holds may be released day of show at the discretion of the performer. To sign up for the waiting list please call the box office at 732.263.5715.  \nLegendary artist Graham Nash is a two-time Rock and\nRoll Hall of Fame inductee – with Crosby\, Stills\, and Nash and with the\nHollies. He was also inducted twice into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame\, as a\nsolo artist and with CSN\, and he is a GRAMMY Award winner. \nTowering above virtually everything that Graham Nash\nhas accomplished in his first seventy-five years on this planet\, stands the\nlitany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the\npast half-century. His remarkable body of work\, beginning with his\ncontributions to the Hollies opus from 1964 to ’68\, including “Stop Stop Stop\,”\n“Pay You Back With Interest\,” “On A Carousel\,” “Carrie Anne\,” “King Midas In\nReverse\,” and “Jennifer Eccles\,” continues all the way to This Path Tonight\n(2016)\, his most recent solo album. \nThe original classic union of Crosby\, Stills &\nNash (& Young) lasted but twenty months. Yet their songs are lightning rods embedded in our DNA\, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express\,” “Pre-Road Downs” (written for then-girlfriend Joni Mitchell)\, and “Lady Of the Island\,” from the first Crosby\, Stills &\nNash LP (1969). On CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970)\, Nash’s “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” beseeched us to hold love tightly\, to fend off the madness that was on its way. \nOverlapping CSNY\, Nash’s solo career debuted with Songs\nFor Beginners (1971)\, whose “Chicago/We Can Change the World” and “Military\nMadness” were fueled by the Long Hot Summer\, the trial of the Chicago Eight\,\nand the ongoing Vietnam war. Songs from that LP stayed in Nash’s concert sets for years including “I Used To Be A King” and “Simple Man”. His next album\, Wild\nTales (1974)\, addressed (among other issues) unfair jail terms for minor\ndrug offenses (“Prison Song”)\, unfair treatment of Vietnam vets (“Oh! Camil”)\,\nthe unfairness of fame (“You’ll Never Be the Same”)\, and his muse\, Joni\n(“Another Sleep Song”). \nThe most resilient\, long-lived and productive\npartnership to emerge from the CSNY camp launched with the eponymously titled Graham\nNash/David Crosby (1972)\, bookended by Nash’s “Southbound Train” as the\nopening track and “Immigration Man” as the closer. The duo contributed further to the soundtrack of the ’70s on their back-to-back albums\, Wind On the Water (1975) and Whistling Down the Wire (1976). \nOn the CSN reunion studio LP (1977)\, Nash took\ntop honors with “Just A Song Before I Go” (written in the space of one hour\,\nand a Top 10 hit single). Lightning\nstruck once more on CSN’s Daylight Again (1982)\, on which Nash penned\ntheir second (and final) Top 10 hit\, “Wasted On the Way\,” lamenting the energy\,\ntime and love lost by the group due to years of internecine quarrels. \nNash’s passionate voice continues to be heard in support of peace\, and social and environmental justice. The No Nukes/Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concerts he organized with Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt in 1979 remain seminal benefit events. In 2011\, Nash was instrumental in bringing MUSE back to the forefront with a concert to benefit Japan disaster relief and groups promoting non-nuclear energy worldwide. That same year\, he and Crosby were among the many musicians who made their way to the Occupy Wall Street\nactions in lower Manhattan. \nIn September 2013\, Nash released his long-awaited autobiography Wild Tales\, which\ndelivers an engrossing\, no-holds-barred look back at his remarkable career and\nthe music that defined a generation. The book landed him on the New York Times\nBest Sellers list\, and was released in paperback in late 2014. \nIn recognition for his contributions as a musician and\nphilanthropist\, Nash was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British\nEmpire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth. While continually building his musical legacy\,\nNash is also an internationally renowned photographer and visual artist. With\nhis photography\, Nash has drawn honors including the New York Institute of\nTechnology’s Arts & Technology Medal and Honorary Doctorate of Humane\nLetters and the Hollywood Film Festival’s inaugural Hollywood Visionary Cyber\nAward. His work is collected in the book Eye to Eye: Photographs by Graham Nash;\nhe curated others’ work in the volume Taking Aim: Unforgettable Rock ‘n’ Roll Photographs Selected by Graham Nash (2009). \nNash’s work has been shown in galleries and museums worldwide. His company Nash Editions’ original IRIS 3047 digital printer and one of its first published works—Nash’s 1969 portrait of David Crosby— is now housed in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian\nInstitution in recognition of his revolutionary accomplishments in the fine\narts and digital printing world. \nVIP PACKAGES \nGRAHAM NASH FRONT ROW – MEET & GREET VIP PACKAGE Package pricing: $375 Package inclusions: \n\nOne reserved ticket in Front Row \nMeet & Greet with Graham Nash during intermission \nVisit to preshow Sound Check with Graham Nash \nOne autographed tour poster \nOne commemorative Graham Nash laminate \nOne commemorative Graham Nash ticket \nCrowd free merchandise shopping \nOn site VIP staff \n\nGRAHAM NASH SOUNDCHECK PACKAGEPackage pricing: $275Package inclusions: \n\nOne reserved ticket within rows 2-5\nVisit to preshow Sound Check with Graham Nash \nOne autographed tour poster \nOne commemorative Graham Nash laminate \nOne commemorative Graham Nash ticket \nCrowd free merchandise shopping \nOn site VIP staff \n\nGRAHAM NASH PREMIUM PACKAGEPackage pricing: $175Package inclusions: \n\nOne reserved ticket within rows 6-9\nOne Graham Nash tour item \nOne commemorative Graham Nash ticket \nOn site VIP staff \n\nMUSE charity tickets – Guacamole Fund – $250Graham Nash’s passionate voice has often been heard in support of peace\, and social and environmental justice.

Carmen “is about sex\, violence\, and racism—and its corollary: freedom\,” the director says about Bizet’s drama. “It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It’s sexy\, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking.” Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Production: Richard Eyre; Barbara Frittoli\, Elīna Garanča\, Roberto Alagna\, Mariusz Kwiecien \nOriginal transmission date: Saturday\, January 16\, 2010\nRuntime: 3 hours URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/met-opera-carmen-broadcast-in-hd-17/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Concerts,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Carmen_Promo.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
