SUMMARY:Stereophonic
DESCRIPTION:“A BRILLIANT PIECE OF MUST-SEE BROADWAY.”\n– Chicago Tribune\nThe most Tony® Award-winning show of 2024. The most Tony® Award-nominated Play of all time. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here\, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi\, directed by Daniel Aukin\, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler\, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse themselves—with fly-on-the-wall intimacy—in the powderkeg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.\nStereophonic\, which features original songs by Academy Award nominee and Grammy® Award winner Will Butler\, formerly of Arcade Fire\, dominated the “Best Theater of 2023” lists\, with top rankings in The New York Times\, New York Magazine\, The Washington Post\, Time Out New York\, Town & Country\, TheaterMania\, Theaterly\, and The Spectator. In April 2024\, Stereophonic became the most Tony®-nominated play in history receiving 13 Award nominations. It then became the most Tony® Award-winning show of the 2024 season\, winning 5 Tony® Awards including Best Play\, Direction (Daniel Aukin)\, Scenic Design (David Zinn)\, and Sound Design (Ryan Rumery).\nPhotos by Kristin Gallegos and Julieta Cervantes

SUMMARY:Singer-Songwriter Cape May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Singer-Songwriter of Cape May Returns in 2026: A Landmark Revival of New Jersey’s Premier Music Conference and Showcase \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter a prolonged and deeply felt absence\, one of New Jersey’s most influential and artist-driven music gatherings is officially set to return\, restoring a cornerstone of the state’s live music and creative community. The Singer-Songwriter of Cape May\, long regarded as a defining platform for emerging and established artists alike\, will make its highly anticipated comeback on March 27–28\, 2026\, reestablishing Cape May as a focal point for songwriting excellence\, industry collaboration\, and grassroots musical discovery. \n\n\n\nOriginally launched in 2008\, the Singer-Songwriter of Cape May quickly evolved into far more than a traditional showcase event. It became a fully integrated music ecosystem—part conference\, part performance circuit\, and part professional incubator—bringing together artists\, producers\, booking agents\, label representatives\, and media voices within one of New Jersey’s most iconic coastal destinations. At its peak\, the event transformed the historic downtown district into a living\, breathing network of music\, with more than 130 performers appearing across 16 venues while over 80 industry professionals contributed to panels\, mentoring sessions\, and keynote discussions. \n\n\n\nThat momentum was abruptly halted in 2020\, just as the event was preparing for its 13th annual edition\, a milestone year that was poised to expand its reach even further. The cancellation left a noticeable void—not just in Cape May\, but across the broader New Jersey music landscape. For independent artists\, particularly those working within the singer-songwriter tradition\, the event had become one of the few spaces where artistry and industry intersected in a meaningful\, accessible way. Its absence underscored how vital platforms like this are to sustaining a vibrant and connected creative community. \n\n\n\nThe 2026 return signals more than a revival; it represents a recalibration of purpose and an opportunity to build on a legacy that was already deeply embedded in the region’s cultural identity. Anchored once again at Congress Hall’s Grand Ballroom and the Harrison Conference Center\, the conference component will deliver a robust and forward-looking program designed to meet the realities of today’s music industry. Over the course of two days\, artists will have direct access to panels\, workshops\, clinics\, and mentoring sessions led by more than 50 professionals spanning every corner of the business—from songwriting and production to branding\, touring\, publishing\, and digital distribution. \n\n\n\nThis conference environment is engineered to be practical rather than theoretical\, offering participants real-world insights that can be immediately applied to their careers. It is an approach that has always distinguished the Singer-Songwriter of Cape May from more passive industry events\, emphasizing engagement\, dialogue\, and tangible opportunity. Artists are not simply attendees; they are active participants in a collaborative process that extends beyond the stage and into the mechanics of building a sustainable career in music. \n\n\n\nEqually central to the event’s identity is its showcase program\, which will once again bring live performances to venues throughout Cape May’s historic district. Selected through a submission process that opens in September 2025\, artists will have the opportunity to perform in front of both public audiences and industry professionals in settings that prioritize authenticity and connection. Unlike traditional ticketed festivals\, all showcase performances will remain free and open to the public\, reinforcing the event’s commitment to accessibility and community engagement. \n\n\n\nThis open-access model is critical to the event’s impact. By removing barriers between performers and audiences\, the Singer-Songwriter of Cape May fosters an environment where discovery happens organically. It allows local residents\, visitors\, and industry insiders to experience new music side by side\, creating a shared cultural moment that benefits both artists and listeners. For performers\, it offers exposure that is both immediate and meaningful; for audiences\, it provides a curated yet unfiltered window into the evolving landscape of contemporary songwriting. \n\n\n\nThe significance of this return extends well beyond the confines of Cape May. It reflects a broader resurgence within New Jersey’s live music ecosystem\, where independent venues\, festivals\, and artist-driven initiatives are reclaiming their role as essential components of the state’s cultural infrastructure. Events like this not only showcase talent but also contribute to the economic and creative vitality of the communities that host them\, driving tourism\, supporting local businesses\, and reinforcing the state’s reputation as a destination for serious music engagement. \n\n\n\nExplore New Jersey continues to document and amplify these developments through its comprehensive music coverage\, highlighting the events\, venues\, and artists that define the state’s evolving soundscape. The return of the Singer-Songwriter of Cape May stands out as a defining moment within that narrative\, signaling a renewed commitment to nurturing artistry at every level. \n\n\n\nFor artists\, the event represents a rare convergence of opportunity—performance exposure\, professional development\, and direct access to decision-makers within the industry. For Cape May\, it marks the reactivation of a cultural engine that once transformed the town into a hub of creative energy each spring. For New Jersey as a whole\, it reinforces the state’s position as a place where music is not only performed but cultivated\, supported\, and celebrated. \n\n\n\nAs March 2026 approaches\, the anticipation surrounding the return of the Singer-Songwriter of Cape May continues to build\, fueled by the recognition that this is more than a comeback. It is the reemergence of a platform that has consistently elevated voices\, created pathways\, and strengthened the connective tissue of the music community. In a landscape that is constantly shifting\, its return offers something increasingly valuable: a space where the craft of songwriting remains at the center\, and where the next chapter of New Jersey’s music story is ready to be written. \n\n\n\n2026 Event Highlights \n\n\n\n\nHeadline Artists: The 2026 conference features keynote addresses and performances by Pete Mroz (Friday\, March 27) and Maya de Vitry (Saturday\, March 28).\n\n\n\nDaytime Conference: Held at Congress Hall’s Grand Ballroom and the Harrison Conference Center\, the conference includes music business panels\, clinics\, and workshops led by over 50 industry professionals.\n\n\n\nEvening Showcases: Over 15 local venues will host free live performances starting after 7:00 PM each night.
