Please call the box office for 732.263.6889 for more information. \nToshi Reagon is a one-woman celebration of all that’s dynamic\, progressive and uplifting in American music. Since first taking to the stage at age 17\, this versatile singer-songwriter-guitarist has moved audiences of all kinds with her big?hearted\, hold-nothing-back approach to rock\, blues\, R&B\, country\, folk\, spirituals and funk. The New York Times described her blend as “…a love of mixing things up…[her] vocal style ranges from a dirty blues moan to a gospel shout to an ethereal croon.” Her live performances\, in particular\, aren’t just accessible; they’re irresistible. And Toshi Reagon loves her audiences. Leading her renowned band–BIGLovely\, launched in 1996–she instantly connects\, inspires and empowers. \nOver nearly 30 years\, Reagon has collaborated with top innovators across a wide spectrum of the entertainment field. Since Lenny Kravitz chose her\, straight out of college\, to open for him on his first world tour\, she has gone on to share stages with notable colleagues such as Nona Hendryx\, Elvis Costello\, Ani DiFranco\, Pete Seeger\, Dar Williams\, Lizz Wright\, Me’shell NdegéOcello and Marc Anthony Thompson (aka Chocolate Genius). Her performances with her mother\, Bernice Johnson Reagon–civil rights activist and founder of the a cappella group\, Sweet Honey in the Rock—are legendary. Post show discussion/Q&A: As part of the Artful Explorations of Gender series\, Reagon will discuss her unique upbringing and how it has impacted her 30 year career in the music business.

From the mid-sixties to the early-seventies\,\nsomething magical took place in Southern California…and it all happened in a\nbucolic stretch of hills\, just above the Sunset Strip\, called Laurel\nCanyon.  Jackson Browne\, Joni Mitchell\, Neil Young\, The Byrds\, The Mamas\n& The Papas\, The Eagles\, and Crosby\, Stills & Nash\, to name just a few\,\nall lived\, loved\, created\, and collaborated there. Lauren Fox tells the story\nof this epic time in American music history\, and sings the songs that it\ninspired.

For a quarter century\, the Turtle Island Quartet has delved into folk\, bluegrass\, swing\, be-bop\, funk\, R&B\, new age\, rock\, hip-hop\, as well as music of Latin America and India …a repertoire consisting of hundreds of ingenious arrangements and originals. Formed in 1985\, the Turtle Island Quartet has been a singular force in\nthe creation of bold\, new trends in chamber music for strings. \nIn this concert Turtle Island Quartet presents Birth of the Cool—celebrating what became known as “Cool Jazz\,” marked by the embodiment of cool\, Miles Davis\, along with his colleagues Gil Evans and Gerry Mulligan\, as well as the Modern Jazz Quartet and Dave Brubeck. In addition to their masterful jazz string quartet interpretations from the Birth of the Cool recording\, Turtle Island offers a program of perennial favorites such as Dave Brubeck’s Blue Rondo A La Turk\, Gerry Mulligan’s Bernie’s Tune\, Miles Davis’s dreamy Miles Ahead\, and the Modern Jazz Quartet’s darker Django. \nFor more information on the Turtle Island Quartet\,\nplease visit www.turtleislandquartet.com URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/turtle-island-string-quartet/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/1450-Turtle-Island-photo-credit-Bill-Reitzel.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20150221T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20150221T230000 DTSTAMP:20260405T205722 CREATED:20180725T204431Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T204431Z UID:40810102769-1424548800-1424559600@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Mavis Staples with Nicole Atkins DESCRIPTION:There are few living musicians who can lay claim to being the voice of America’s conscience\, and even fewer who continue to make vital music. For six decades Mavis Staples has been the solid rock of American music. Alongside the family group she is so identified with\, the Staple Singers\, Mavis has managed to transform herself as she goes\, yet never alter. \nFrom the delta-inflected gospel sound she helped create in the 1950s (“Uncloudy Day”)\, to the engaged protest of the civil rights era (“Freedom Highway”)\, and then\, amazingly\, on pop radio in the 1970s with a series of chart hits (“I’ll Take You There\,” “Respect Yourself\,” “Lets Do It Again”)–through all these\, Mavis carried on\, her warm embrace of a voice the only constant. On their second collaboration\, the Grammy-nominated 2013 album “One True Vine\,” the legendary singer and her producer\, Wilco leader Jeff Tweedy\, have crafted a gospel album for the 21st century. On the record\, Mavis gives voice to something new in her repertoire\, something deeper and more resonant with our times.  Where her Stax-era hits spoke for a growing black social consciousness\, and her seventies collaborations with The Band gave spiritual weight to the rediscovery of traditional American music\, Jeff Tweedy has crafted a pulpit from which Mavis lends her voice to a search for grace. Staples is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer\, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner\, and a National Heritage Fellowship Award recipient.  VH1 named her one of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll\, and Rolling Stone listed her as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.  Her previous album\, the Tweedy-produced “You Are Not Alone\,” won the Grammy Award for Best Americana Album in 2011\, adding a remarkable new chapter to an already historic career. \nOpening for Staples is a songwriter and performer who represents an exciting new voice in millennial music — in addition to being the Jersey Shore music scene’s most acclaimed breakout artist in a generation. Nicole Atkins grabbed the industry’s attention several seasons back with her major-label debut album Neptune City\, a nationwide TV commercial for American Express\, and a musicologist’s dexterity that found her sharing stages comfortably and confidently with everyone from Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds to Monmouth professor Marc Muller’s Dead On Live project. Having reaffirmed her indie roots with her latest release Slow Phaser\, Atkins is creating some strong and innovative new music — and she’ll be sharing it\, along with the expected surprise interpretations of her many and varied influences\, in a solo acoustic setting on the Pollak stage.

He writes\nopen -hearted songs full of storm and drama\, bursting with personal truths\, and\nechoing with the southern sound of his Alabama upbringing. Embracing his\nnewfound sobriety\, Isbell next produced an album of haunting atonement and\nredemption\, the sparse and impressive Southeastern\, which was a critical\nsuccess and commercial breakthrough.

Lindley has been one of Hollywood’s most in demand session musicians playing with Bob Dylan\, Rod Stewart\, Linda Ronstadt\, Crosby and Nash\, Warren Zevon\, and many others. His live performances incorporate an incredible array of stringed instruments into a unique concert experience. \nJohn Hammond\, Jr. is one of a handful of white blues musicians who was on the scene at the beginning of the first blues renaissance of the mid-’60s. A Grammy winner whose 50-year career has seen successful collaborations with the likes of Tom Waits\, Dr. John\, Duane Allman\, Robbie Robertson\, and G. Love and who once boasted both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix in his band\, Hammond does justice to classic blues by combining powerful guitar and harmonica playing with expressive vocals and a dignified stage presence.

He didn’t know it when he was 20\, and he may not realize it now\, but Hammond deserves special commendation for keeping many of the classic blues songs alive. In the early years of his career\, it was more important to him that he bring the art form to a wider audience by performing classic — in some cases forgotten — songs. Now\, more than 50 years later\, Hammond continues to do this\, touring all over the U.S.\, Canada\, and Europe. Whether it’s with a band or by himself\, Hammond can do it all. Seeing him perform live\, one gets the sense that some of the best is still to come from this energetic bluesman. \n  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/david-lindley-john-hammond/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/hammond.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20141211T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20141211T230000 DTSTAMP:20260405T205722 CREATED:20180725T204533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T204533Z UID:40810102982-1418326200-1418338800@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - ‘TIS THE SEASON: A Holiday Concert DESCRIPTION:Tickets for this event are SOLD OUT.

In bringing the True Blues film to the concert stage\, the True Blues concert vividly brings to life this crucial wellspring of American music. \nBoth Corey Harris and Alvin Youngblood Hart were featured in Martin Scorcese’s “The Blues: A Musical Journey\,” which followed Corey on a roots journey to West Africa. Alvin contributed\, as well\, to Wim Wenders’ ”The Soul Of a Man” and Denzel Washington’s “The Great Debaters.” Guy has often followed in the Thespian footsteps of his parents\, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee\, most recently in the Broadway revival of “Finian’s Rainbow\,” and earlier in “Mulebone” and “Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil.” \nBlues is at the center of their artistry\, and the blues takes center stage in True Blues\, the concert.

In just a few short years\, Grammer has gone on to sell over 100\,000 albums\, play sold out venues nationwide\, perform onstage with Taylor Swift\, Train\, and Colbie Caillat. While hard at work on his highly anticipated sophomore album Magazines or Novels\, Grammer released Back Home\, a joyously anthemic track that illustrates his knack for writing infectious\, relatable songs remains strong\, as does his soaring voice. On the new album\, Grammer reinforces his place among elite male pop artists through honest reflections of the impressive ride he’s been on during the past couple of years. The son of a Grammy-nominated children’s performer Red Grammer\, he often joined his dad on-stage to sing\, promoting his fierce ambition to succeed. His father instilled his work ethic and taught him to respect his audience. “I saw what it took to cultivate an artistic career\,” Grammer says. “My favorite thing is writing from a bird’s-eye view\, whether it’s a break-up or a good relationship. I like to be far enough away to see the whole scope of what’s occurring.” \nOpening for Grammer is Canadian band Zerbin who has shared the stage with The Flaming Lips\, FUN.\, Said The Whale and AWOLNATION\, cementing their status as a band to watch.

The whispery vocal verses and Coldplay-inspired ivories of the band’s early singles “Boston” and follow-ups “Sweet and Low” and “Hey Now” vaulted to the Top 10 at AAA Radio. \nThen in 2011\, for the band’s self titled album on Epic\, Layus\, had a major surprise with a punchier\, more immediate sound that carried melodic currents of Soul Asylum\, Tom Petty\, Chris Isaak and Bruce Springsteen. Now the new album reconciles the various facets of the Augustana sounds through a succinct rhythmic attack and crisp production — with bright radio-ready anthems like “Ash and Ember” sharing the ride with introspective plaints like “Remember Me\,” under the flag of Layus’s unerring pop instincts. \nOpening the show will be Jim and Sam. With the aid of producer Lasse Marten(Lykke Li\, Peter Bjorn & John\, Chrissie Hynde) Jim and Sam will complete their debut album (recorded at the legendary Puk Studios in Denmark). \n  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/augustana/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Augustana-4-300dpi.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20140807T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20140807T220000 DTSTAMP:20260405T205722 CREATED:20180725T204448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190301T200709Z UID:40810102838-1407441600-1407448800@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:The Simon String Quartet Free Concert DESCRIPTION:The Simon String Quartet will be joined by other Summer String-In faculty members – violist Kimberly Foster-Wallace and cellist Joseph Kimura – to play Dvorak’s Sextet in A Major\, Op 48 and Dohnanyi’s Sextet in B♭ Major. \nMonmouth University is pleased to announce that the Simon String Quartet and colleagues will again present free classical chamber music concerts as part of its Summer String-In workshop.

Over a lifetime spent traversing the bridge between words and melody\, he has ranged over an emotional depth that embraces all forms of genre and presentation\, a resolute voice that weathers the emotional terrain of our lives\, its celebrations and despairs\, it’s land mines\, blindsides\, upheavals and beckoning distractions\, in search of ultimate release and the healing truth of honesty. Sometimes it takes the form of barely contained rage\, the rock of punk amid kneeled feedback; sometimes it caresses and soothes\, a whispery harmony riding the air of a nightclub room\, removed from amplification\, within the audience. Alejandro has worked his musical magic a number of times at the Jersey Shore\, at the legendary Stone Pony\, at the Count Basie Theatre and at the Paramount Theater headlining the Light of Day Festival in Asbury Park where he was joined by his friends Willie Nile\, Joe Grushecky\, Jesse Malin and Bruce Springsteen. Nationally syndicated radio shows such as Little Steven Van Zandt’s Underground Garage continue to give prominent attention to Escovedo and his music\, continuing to play songs such as  “Silver Cloud” from his 2010 album Street Songs of Love as well as music from his most recent record 2012’s Big Station. His family boasts several professional musicians including his niece\, drummer/percussionist Sheila E.  With Special Guest Amy Cook. \nTickets on sale now online\, by phone and in person at the Pollak Theatre and MAC Box Offices.Visit lightofday.org for more information.
