SUMMARY:Trivium: Ascend Above The Ashes Tour…
DESCRIPTION:Driving guitar solos and throbbing rhythms make up the heavy metal produced by Orlando-based metalcore outfit Trivium. Since their start in 2000\, the four-member band has sold more than a million albums and toured alongside other big-ticket metal acts like Iron Maiden\, As I Lay Dying and GWAR\, bringing fans at venues like Fillmore (Detroit)\, the Buckhead Theatre and Aztec Theatre to capacity.\nTheir most recent effort\, “Vengeance Falls\,” surfaced in October 2013 and landed at No. 15 on The Billboard 200\, as well as in the Top 10 on Japanese and Australian album charts. Along with a discography of six full-length records and a healthy U.S. tour history\, Trivium has also handled concerts throughout Europe\, Japan and Australia.\nFor the 2006 collection “The Crusade\,” Trivium frontman Matt Heafy took a slight departure from his metalcore scream to deliver more traditional singing vocals that some compared to Metallica. That album debuted at No. 25 on The Billboard 200\, and Heafy went back to his signature scream for the follow-up\, 2008’s “Shogun\,” and subsequent releases.

SUMMARY:Crumbs from the Table of Joy
DESCRIPTION:Crossroads Theatre Company Brings Lynn Nottage’s “Crumbs from the Table of Joy” Back to the Stage in New Brunswick \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe celebrated Crossroads Theatre Company in New Brunswick is once again lighting up the stage\, this time with a heartfelt revival of Lynn Nottage’s “Crumbs from the Table of Joy.” This deeply moving family drama\, penned by one of America’s most acclaimed contemporary playwrights\, continues its run through November 23\, offering audiences a powerful and poetic exploration of race\, identity\, loss\, and hope in postwar America. \n\n\n\nSet in the 1950s\, “Crumbs from the Table of Joy” follows the Crump family as they navigate a rapidly changing world following the death of their matriarch. When the family relocates from Florida to Brooklyn\, patriarch Godfrey Crump seeks solace and direction through religion — while his teenage daughters\, Ernestine and Ermina\, struggle to find their place amid the shifting tides of culture and self-discovery. The arrival of their free-spirited Aunt Lily adds both humor and chaos\, pushing the family to confront the tension between faith and freedom\, tradition and transformation. \n\n\n\nLynn Nottage\, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner\, is known for crafting stories that give voice to the overlooked and the resilient. “Crumbs from the Table of Joy” captures her signature blend of emotional depth and lyrical storytelling\, weaving together themes of migration\, gender\, and social awakening through the lens of a family searching for meaning in the midst of turmoil. \n\n\n\nCrossroads Theatre Company\, based in the heart of New Brunswick’s vibrant arts district\, is the perfect stage for this revival. Founded in 1978\, Crossroads has built a national reputation for championing African American voices and staging works that challenge\, uplift\, and inspire. Their production of “Crumbs from the Table of Joy” continues that legacy — blending meticulous direction\, standout performances\, and immersive staging to bring Nottage’s world to life with authenticity and heart. \n\n\n\nAudiences can expect an experience that feels both timeless and urgently relevant. The play’s exploration of belonging\, resilience\, and the search for joy resonates powerfully today\, inviting theatergoers to reflect on how far we’ve come — and how far we still have to go. The production’s design captures the era’s emotional and visual contrasts\, from the simplicity of a 1950s Brooklyn apartment to the vivid imaginings that unfold in Ernestine’s mind as she dreams of a better\, freer future. \n\n\n\nFor those looking to experience thought-provoking live theatre this fall\, Crossroads’ latest production offers a perfect opportunity. The company’s intimate venue creates a uniquely personal connection between audience and performance\, allowing every moment — from whispered conversations to emotional crescendos — to feel immediate and real. \n\n\n\nTickets for “Crumbs from the Table of Joy” are now available\, with performances continuing through November 23 at Crossroads Theatre Company in New Brunswick. Whether you’re a longtime theater lover or simply looking for a meaningful evening out\, this revival delivers storytelling that is both soul-stirring and beautifully human. \n\n\n\nTo explore more live performances and theatre events happening across New Jersey\, visit Explore New Jersey’s theatre section. The state’s rich performing arts scene continues to thrive — and productions like this one remind us why New Jersey remains one of the most dynamic places for live theatre on the East Coast.

DESCRIPTION:Mandy Patinkin Brings His Acclaimed Jukebox Concert to New Jersey This November \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBroadway and Hollywood legend Mandy Patinkin will bring his new show\, Mandy Patinkin in Concert: Jukebox\, to New Jersey on Friday\, November 7 at 8 p.m.\, joined by pianist Adam Ben-David for an unforgettable evening of music\, storytelling\, and heart. \n\n\n\nPatinkin\, one of the most accomplished and versatile performers of his generation\, has captivated audiences for decades across stage\, screen\, and television. A Tony® Award winner for his performance in Evita and an Emmy® winner for his work on Chicago Hope\, he has also left a lasting mark on popular culture with his iconic film roles in The Princess Bride\, Yentl\, and Dick Tracy. In Jukebox\, Patinkin showcases the full range of his artistry\, blending humor\, emotion\, and humanity through a carefully curated selection of songs. \n\n\n\nUnlike a traditional concert\, Jukebox offers an intimate\, spontaneous experience—Patinkin draws from a vast songbook that spans Broadway classics\, American standards\, and contemporary favorites. Every performance is slightly different\, shaped by the mood of the night and his connection with the audience. With Adam Ben-David\, his longtime collaborator and acclaimed pianist\, at the keys\, the chemistry between the two creates a dynamic energy that brings every note to life. \n\n\n\nPatinkin’s Jukebox is as much a reflection of his life in performance as it is a celebration of music itself. Between songs\, he often shares stories from his career\, weaving in memories from the stage and screen\, as well as personal reflections that reveal the heart behind his craft. Audiences can expect to hear beloved show tunes alongside soulful renditions of pop and folk songs\, all delivered with Patinkin’s signature depth and passion. \n\n\n\nOver the years\, Patinkin has built a reputation for transcending genres—his performances are never just about the music but about connection\, honesty\, and expression. Whether he’s belting a Sondheim ballad or softly interpreting a modern favorite\, his voice carries the kind of emotional weight that stays with audiences long after the curtain falls. \n\n\n\nFor New Jersey theatergoers and music fans alike\, Mandy Patinkin in Concert: Jukebox promises to be a rare opportunity to experience one of the great American performers in an intimate live setting. His combination of theatrical storytelling\, vocal power\, and charm continues to make him a standout figure in entertainment—one who bridges the golden age of Broadway with today’s contemporary artistry. \n\n\n\nTickets are expected to go fast for this limited engagement\, and audiences are encouraged to secure their seats early for what will undoubtedly be one of the season’s most memorable performances. \n\n\n\nFor more on concerts\, live shows\, and music events across the state\, visit Explore New Jersey Music.

SUMMARY:From Ashes to New
DESCRIPTION:In a small town\, you either die where you came from or dream your way out. From Ashes To New understand this choice. As such\, the Lancaster\, PA band—Matt Brandyberry [rap vocals\, keys\, synths\, programming\, guitar]\, Danny Case [clean & unclean vocals]\, Lance Dowdle [lead guitar]\, and Mat Madiro [drums]—churn out an anthemic hybrid of hard rock\, hip-hop\, electronic\, and alternative with enough energy to inspire you to get up\, move forward\, and maybe even\, make a change. Since 2013\, the group have risen from humble beginnings to the top of the 21st century rock vanguard with hundreds of millions of streams\, sold out shows across the country\, and acclaim from LoudWire\, Alternative Press\, and more.\n“Growing up in Elizabethtown\, PA felt hopeless in a way\,” admits Matt. “You go to college and become part of corporate America\, or you’re just “trash”. For the longest time\, I fell into the latter category according to other people. My mentality was\, ‘Who are these people to fucking tell me what I’m going to do with my life?’ They don’t make my decisions; I make decisions for myself. It took a lot of ups and downs\, but it’s paying off. I owe it to the small town blue-collar mentality that made me work harder. Danny grew up in Rochester\, but his story is the same. We were the loners picked last. Everyone underestimated us. We fought through it for all of our lives\, and we’re going to be picked first now.”\n“I was always an outcast who nobody gave a shit about\,” agrees Danny. “The only thing I ever dreamt of was music. Like the other guys in From Ashes to New\, nobody was going to tell me otherwise or stop me.”\nDuring 2021\, the musicians holed up in Lancaster with longtime collaborators and producers Grant McFarland and Carson Slovak to create their upcoming album. This time around\, the band made a conscious decision to ignore outside influences and focus on what makes them From Ashes To New.\n“We weren’t going to let other people tell us what to do\,” affirms Danny. “We went back to the guys who produced us for a long time\, because they worked cohesively with us.”\n“We got back to the days of creating music to simply create\,” adds Matt. “We ended up making the most genuine piece of art we could. At the same time\, we applied everything we’ve learned as musicians\, producers\, and writers. We knew we were capable of doing everything bigger and better.”

SUMMARY:An Evening with Acoustic Alchemy
DESCRIPTION:It’s been quite a while since the release of the last album\, and in that time an awful lot has happened.” is the opening line from Greg Carmichael’s notes for the band’s brand new album\, 33 1/3 \, and never a truer word has been written. The last studio album from the band\, ‘Roseland’\, was released in 2011\, followed by a live double album\, ‘Live In London’\, in 2014. “It has almost become a running joke\, “ says Miles Gilderdale\, “after every single show we are constantly being asked\, ‘When’s the new album coming out?’ It’s nice to finally have an answer for them.”\nThere are two main reasons for the amount of time fans have had to wait for this album. The first is that the band feel very passionately that you should only write and album when you have something to say. “We’re quite lucky in that respect\, “ says Miles\, “we don’t have a record label breathing down our necks telling us we need to put out something every year.” Greg; “ For us\, the only time we even consider going into the studio is when we have some material that we really believe in. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had the space to even think about being creative.” Greg’s wife Jan was tragically and suddenly struck with meningitis shortly before an American tour in 2015\, “It’s one of those things that you hear about\, but never imagine happening to you or your loved ones. One day she was absolutely fine and the next we were in hospital with Jan in a coma and the doctors telling me there was a chance she would never come out of it.” Fortunately she did recover\, though the ferocity of the infection has left her permanently affected. It’s just incredible that something can do that to someone so quickly\, so as you imagine I couldn’t even think about writing or playing.”\nWith the help of guitarists Steve Oliver and Nate Najar\, Acoustic Alchemy continued to tour the United States with Greg flying in as and when he could\, “I couldn’t believe how great they were. I’m not sure I could do that\, just take a whole set of songs and learn someone else’s parts and just go up and play it so incredibly well. I’m really grateful to them\, and Jan’s incredible strength and determination have been such an inspiration\, and that’s what made me want to get back to writing.”\nFor over three decades the band have been at the forefront of contemporary jazz\, even if the band’s signature eclectic mix of styles has meant they have never comfortably fit snugly into any one genre; “We’ve had a lot of labels over the years\, at the start there were all these names flying around like New Adult Contemporary\, New Age music\, and then it became Smooth Jazz\, but we’ve never really thought about ourselves as being in any one particular genre. We just make music we like.” Says Greg\, “At the core it’s always been about one simple concept: the sound of the nylon and steel guitars working together\, but that leaves a lot of scope for exploring all sorts of musical ideas.”\nThat is certainly the case with 33 1/3\, and album which touches on Jazz (such as the track ‘A Little Closer’)\, Blues (‘Blues for Mr. Mu’ being a tribute to the late Steely Dan founder Walter Becker)\, Caribbean (the band have a long history of incorporating the sounds of the Islands into their songs\, and ‘The Girl With A Plan’ follows that tradition from such past hits as ‘Mr. Chow’ and ‘Jamaica Heartbeat’)\, Eastern (found in the opening track of the album ‘East of Babylon’) and even Classical music (‘Allemande’ and ‘Prelude in D Minor’ two pieces that Greg has always loved playing since his early days at the London College of Music)\, and yet with all the diversity of styles\, the album manages to still sound like classic Acoustic Alchemy\, as Miles explains\, “The band has changed a lot over the years\, different personnel\, different eras\, different influences\, but we always somehow make it sound like Acoustic Alchemy. I think every band tries to do that\, to make something that’s new and interesting\, but the fans still hear it and go\, that’s them!”

SUMMARY:Colin Hay
DESCRIPTION:Born in Scotland\, Hay moved with his family as a teenager to Australia\, where he first came to international fame with seminal ’80s hitmakers Men At Work. While the band would reach the heights of stardom—they took home a GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist and sold more than 30 million records worldwide on the strength of #1 singles like “Who Can It Be Now?” and “Down Under”—by 1985\, they’d called it quits and gone their separate ways. Hay released his solo debut the following year and\, over the course of the next three-and-a-half decades\, went on to record twelve more critically acclaimed studio albums that would help establish him as one of his generation’s most hardworking and reliable craftsmen. Rolling Stone praised his “witty\, hooky pop” tunes\, while NPR’s World Café lauded his “distinctive voice\,” and late night hosts from David Letterman and Craig Ferguson to Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel have all welcomed him for performances.
