1/28/2023 - Joe Bataan: Joe Bataan is the originator of the New York Latin soul style that paralleled Latin boogaloo and anticipated disco. His musical experience began with street corner doo wop in the 1950s, and came to include one of the first rap records to hit the charts, 1979's "Rap-O, Clap-O." In between these milestones, he recorded classic albums like Saint Latin's Day Massacre, a perennial favorite in the salsa market, Salsoul, which gave the record label its name and helped spark the national explosion of urban dance music, and Afrofilipino, which included one of the very earliest New York disco hits, an instrumental version of Gil Scott-Heron's "The Bottle."
1/29/2023 - Rock and Roll Playhouse Performs Bruce Springsteen: The Rock and Roll Playhouse, a family concert series hosted at historic music venues across the country, allows kids to “move, play and sing while listening to works from the classic-rock canon.” This month’s special Rock and Roll Playhouse will feature the music of New Jersey Legend Bruce Springsteen.
Performing songs created by the most iconic musicians in rock history, The Rock and Roll Playhouse band offers its core audience of families with children aged ten and under games, movement, stories and an opportunity to rock out in an effort to educate children and explore their creativity. The Rock and Roll Playhouse is an early and often first introduction to a child’s lifelong journey with live music and rock and roll.
2/4/2023 - Sun Ra Arkestra: The Sun Ra Arkestra is an American jazz group formed in the mid-1950s and led by keyboardist/composer Sun Ra until his death in 1993. The group is currently led by saxophonist Marshall Allen, an Arkestra member since 1958, who is supported on-stage by more than a dozen other musicians.
2/6/2023 - Angel Olsen & The Big Time Band (SOLD OUT): Angel Olsen is an American singer-songwriter and musician living in Asheville, North Carolina. To date, Olsen has released six studio albums: Half Way Home (2012), Burn Your Fire for No Witness (2014), My Woman (2016), All Mirrors (2019), Whole New Mess (2020), and Big Time (2022).
2/10/2023 - Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads: On “Life During Wartime,” the first single from Talking Heads’ 1979 album Fear of Music, David Byrne famously sang the immortal lyrics, “This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco...no time for dancing...” Yet all those anti-fun declarations go gleefully out the window when Mystic Bowie, aka the “Head Dread,” takes the stage, re-imagining and infusing fresh life into the Talking Heads’ classic catalog with his high octane mix of roots reggae, ska and lover’s rock.
2/11/2023 - The Jersey J-Cup: Game Changer Wrestling and Jersey Championship Wrestling team up to bring back the Jersey J-Cup! This prestigious tournament features the very best in Independent wrestlers from around the world vying for in-ring supremacy. Part 1 (2PM Show) and Part 2 (8PM Show) are on sale now.
