Jersey Shore Favorites Team Up for America
Monmouth University’s Pollak Theatre in West Long Branch will be the site when the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music presents “America 250: A Jersey Shore Celebration of the Nation’s Music Heritage” with Williams Honor, original E Streeter Vini Lopez, Pat Roddy, Jackson Pines, Pat Guadagno, Richie Blackwell and others on May 29. It is the first of a series of events leading up to the June 7 Grand Opening of the Center’s new building.
The Center’s Executive Director Bob Santelli: “This celebration of American music, with a particular New Jersey twist, demonstrates the richness of the local scene at the same time it acknowledges its link to a broader national music heritage. The Jersey Shore music scene, in many ways, is a microcosm of the American music scene.”
Center Director Eileen Chapman: “The artists performing in this show are directly connected to the songwriting tradition and artistry that have shaped New Jersey music for decades. What you’ll hear performed are not just songs; they are the soundtrack of our lives and a part of the American story.”
