Back to the Eighties Show with Jessie’s Girl

Friday, January 12, 2024 @ 8:00pm



Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC)
30 North Van Brunt Street, Englewood, NJ 07631

Every Saturday night for the last 7 years, crowds of ecstatic fans and newcomers alike have thrown on their best spandex, leg warmers and metal gear, lined up, and come downtown for an all-out celebration at the BACK TO THE EIGHTIES SHOW. 

Back To The Eighties Show with Jessie’s Girl is the world’s greatest tribute to the music of the ‘80s! Jessie’s Girl’s primary line-up includes a team of NYC's top rock and pop vocalists: Jenna O’Gara, Chris Hall, and Mark Rinzel. They are backed by one of the tightest bands in the city comprised of 20+ year veterans of the NYC music scene: Eric Presti on guitar, Drew Mortali on bass, Michael Maenza on drums, and Karlee Bloom on Keys and the Keytar. Each with dozens of credits performing with authentic ‘80s icons who made the music famous to begin with! 

In fact, BRET MICHAELS, MC HAMMER, COLIN HAY from MEN AT WORK, TIFFANY, DEBBIE GIBSON, TAYLOR DANE, MIKE SCORE from A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS, TONE LOC, ROB BASE and many more have all performed at the BACK TO THE EIGHTIES SHOW. 

Their calendar is filled with high-profile appearances and private events around the U.S., bringing the BACK TO THE EIGHTIES SHOW to The Theater at Madison Square Garden for the I Want My ‘80s Concert, ABC / NY Magazine’s launch party for THE GOLDBERGS, a Halloween bash with Academy Award winner JAMIE FOXX, a private birthday party for ‘80s icon NEIL PATRICK HARRIS and Coca Cola / Buffalo Wild Wing’s massive “Tablegate” event in Tempe, AZ, opening for SMASHMOUTH! 

The band has continuously sold out nights at prestigious regional venues such as The Capitol Theatre in Westchester, NY, The Paramount on Long Island, the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, NJ, Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe, PA, and many other venues. They are the only band to play every year on The ‘80s Cruise and have firmed a deal to continue performing through 2024. 

There is no decade like the Eighties and no party like BACK TO THE EIGHTIES SHOW with JESSIE’S GIRL. So throw on your best neon, use extra hair spray on that hair and head to the BACK TO THE EIGHTIES SHOW - because its time to party like it’s 1989!
