  • Songwriters By The Sea

    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 a twist of rock music and country music. The rock music
    is courtesy of Eric Bazilian, founding member of the rock band Hooters. Bazilian is also known internationally for his efforts as a Grammy nominated songwriter, as well as being an arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and producer.

    Singing-songwriting duo Williams Honor will bring a bit of the country to Woods Theatre. The duo have exploded in Asbury Park’s music scene, and features producer and multi-instrumentalist Gordon Brown and performer powerhouse Reagan Richards. The two previously have worked and toured with many national acts before coming together to form the Jersey Shore’s first ever country duo. They’re about to release their first single to country radio “Send It To Me” from their debut album.

    Opening the show will be Monmouth University students Daniel Amato and Brittany Cannarozzi.

    The net proceeds will support Monmouth University’s Endowed Music Industry Scholarship.

    There will be a pre-show hospitality reception at 7 p.m. and post-show reception (included with ticket price)!

    Sponsored by the Monmouth University Leon Hess Business School and Business Council.

  • SONGWRITERS BY THE SEA

    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

    James Maddock, a fixture on the Folk and Americana scene and expatriate Irish writer and musician Larry Kirwan.

    An April 2014 review in Relix Magazine puts it this way: “James Maddock possesses the kind of lived-in craggy voice that would sound authoritative if he were singing the sports pages. Fortunately, he doesn’t need to do that because his compositional skills are a match for his delivery.” After fronting the Columbia Records band Wood, whose debut Songs From Stamford Hill was featured prominently on TV shows such as “Dawson’s Creek,” Maddock moved from England to New York City in 2003. His 2009 album Sunrise On Avenue C won a New York Music Award for Best Americana Album, while follow-up Wake Up And Dream ranked among the top albums of 2011 in WFUV’s (NYC) Listener Poll. He has performed with Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nile, Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) and David Immergluck (Counting Crows).

    Larry Kirwan
    (born in Wexford, Ireland) is an expatriate Irish writer and musician, most
    noted as the lead singer for the New York-based Irish rock band, Black 47     Kirwan has also written
    and produced eleven plays and musicals, some of which have been performed in
    the United States and Europe. The plays deal mainly with Irish history and
    politics.      

    Monmouth University Blue Hawk Records’ artists Julia Whary, Nicole Govel, and guest Isabella Rose, will open the show.
