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:20260406T012724 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.

Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen are widely known to be two of the best and most prolific songwriters of their generation. Less known about the fellow Canadian artists is that they had a relationship early in their careers that lasted only a few months\, but had a lasting effect on their work.  \n Many have speculated as to why the relationship didn’t last\, and that’s what Lauren Fox explores here–BOTH SIDES– through their music\, their histories\, their triumphs and heartbreaks. Fox delves into the meaning behind the songs\, giving us a better understanding of a painter and a poet who mesmerized the world through song. Highlights of the show include Mitchell’s “Chelsea Morning\,” “River” and “Both Sides Now\,” and Cohen’s “Suzanne\,” “Bird On A Wire” and “Hallelujah.”Lauren was featured in an article about “the future of cabaret” in the Arts & Leisure section of The New York Times\, written by Stephen Holden\, the noted Times Music Critic.  Holden raved about Lauren’s Joni Mitchell/Leonard Cohen show as “a knock-out…with startling depth and intensity”\, “remarkable” “dramatically revealing” and “a spellbinding his-and hers-dialogue… that conjures the hippie culture of the Woodstock era.”  “Remarkable!  Enthralling!   Spell-binding!  A knock-out”…Stephen Holden\,The New York Times URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/the-songs-of-joni-mitchell-leonard-cohen-starring-outstanding-cabaret-performer-of-the-year-lauren-fox/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Lauren_Fox_thumb.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
