Coming out of Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, Prof has perfected the art of combining blue collar hard work and unimpeachable content with never taking himself too seriously. His seventh studio album\, Horse\, due out on his own Stophouse Music Group label April 14\, 2023\, is set to let the world at large in on a secret that music fans already know\, Prof is a force to be reckoned with.\nHis most recent album\, Powderhorn Suites\, shocked pundits and industry alike with an amazing run through the charts and streaming platforms. Released in November\, 2020\, Powderhorn Suites reached a career-high #3 on the Billboard Current Rap Albums charts\, #5 Top New Artists Albums\, #15 Independent Album\, and #36 Billboard Top Albums. What followed has been a masterclass in making it as an independent artist; Prof leaned into the fantastical tales and dynamic persona that have cultivated his rabid fan base. He reclaimed his outlets\, going from zero Youtube followers to over 160\,000 subscribers in under two years. Following the Powderhorn Suites album\, Prof notched his biggest year to date in 2022\, racking up over 140 Million streams of his catalog and performing 30 sold out shows across the country.\nHorse is the culmination of his personal Rocky training montage\, but you can’t call it a comeback\, because Prof’s numbers have only ever gone up. Horse is a powerful record\, showcasing his singular drive and the weirdness of real life that has propelled Prof to the pinnacle of the independent rap music world\, bringing his legions of “Gampos”\, as his fans are affectionately known\, alongside him. Horse’s 14 tracks include a heavyweight cast of features\, from Method Man on “Subpar”\, to Kevin Gates’ big sound gracing “Devils Gate”\, and a brilliant appearance from Redman on “Pack a Lunch”. Prof’s contemporaries have clearly noticed the ever growing Gampo movement bursting out of the Twin Cities. Cozz and Mac Irv also appear on the album\, which was produced by Prof alongside a small cadre of close collaborators.\nProf will follow up the release of Horse with a XX city headline tour\, hitting marquee live music venues like YY and ZZ\, along with some key festival appearances. Riding life sized carpets over his massive crowds and leaving it all on the stage\, Prof’s live shows have always been more than a concert\, they are an experience. As the audiences grow and his production evolves\, Prof has moved from survival mode to takeover mode\, and one thing is for sure\, Prof thrives on the biggest stage.

Hearing enhancers are also provided at the tech booth for every performance\, on a first-come\, first-served basis (quantities are limited). \n\n\n\nPrepare for a deeply moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience with “Parade\,” the acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical. This powerful production delves into a dark chapter of America’s past\, exploring the true story of Leo Frank\, a Jewish factory manager wrongly accused of murder in 1913 Georgia amidst a backdrop of rampant religious intolerance\, political injustice\, and racial tension. \n\n\n\nWith a compelling book by the celebrated playwright Alfred Uhry\, known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning “Driving Miss Daisy\,” and a magnificent\, haunting score by the three-time Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (composer of “Songs For a New World\,” “The Last Five Years\,” and “The Bridges of Madison County”)\, “Parade” is a masterclass in storytelling. It meticulously examines how prejudice and fear can distort justice\, while simultaneously celebrating the enduring power of love and hope in the face of overwhelming adversity. \n\n\n\nThe musical is based on the infamous 1913 trial and subsequent lynching of Leo Frank. Frank\, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Atlanta\, was accused of killing 13-year-old Mary Phagan\, an employee at the factory he managed. Fueled by sensationalist media and rampant antisemitism\, the trial became a national scandal. Despite inconsistencies in testimony and a lack of credible evidence\, Frank was convicted. His death sentence was later commuted by the governor\, leading to his abduction from prison and lynching by an angry mob. “Parade” powerfully brings this harrowing narrative to the stage\, reminding audiences of the dangers of unchecked bigotry and the fight for truth. \n\n\n\nImportant Note: This production is best suited for mature audiences aged 17 and above due to its exploration of sensitive historical themes\, strong language\, and mature content. \n\n\n\nBooking Information: To secure your tickets\, simply select your desired date and time\, then choose your seats.

He’s had several top 20 singles\, including the above-mentioned titles\, as well as “On the Border” and “Song On The Radio”.\nIn Al’s own Words: “I’m just a folk singer that is interested in history and wine that got lucky with some hit records! It’s as simple as that really. I was always a huge music fan and originally\, I had wanted to be Brian Jones and then Bob Dylan\, but those two jobs were already taken. And in many ways\, I’m still pretty much the same troubadour that I was back in 1965. I still get a kick out of hearing the Zombies\, Hendrix or They Might be Giants on the radio.” URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/al-stewart-the-farewell-tour-with-the-empty-pockets/ LOCATION:Count Basie Center for the Arts\, 99 Monmouth Street\, Red Bank\, New Jersey\, 07701\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://explorenewjersey.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2025-09-06-Al-Stewart-VOGEL-PREVIEW-2-Ef3lmy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250906T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250906T000000 DTSTAMP:20251214T010813 CREATED:20250728T131459Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T151010Z UID:48770-1757116800-1757116800@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:Almost Queen DESCRIPTION:They don’t just pay tribute to the legendary band\, Almost Queen transports you back in time to experience the magic and essence of Queen themselves.\nThis deliberate four piece band is “guaranteed to blow your mind” with iconic four-part harmonies and expertly executed musical interludes.

On any given track\, it might seem like they’re about to go one way\, but the band will turn on a dime and shift course before the crowd can even catch a breath. This uncanny element of surprise has entrenched the gold-selling Ohio quartet—Landon Tewers [vocals]\, Josh Childress [guitar]\, Ethan Yoder [bass]\, and Michael Cooper [drums] — on the cutting edge of rock music. Whether it be threads of alternative\, electronic\, pop\, or R&B\, nothing is off limits\, and everything is fair game for their creative process. That process has continued to morph. Following a series of fan-favorite releases\, the band made major waves with DISPOSE [2018]. “FEEL NOTHING” surged on social media as a viral phenomenon\, generating hundreds of millions of streams and picking up a gold certification in the U.S.\, Canada and Australia. The musicians only maintained this momentum with Swan Song in 2021. Hysteria rated it “9-out-of-10”. Simultaneously\, they sold out shows coast-to-coast.\nDuring 2023\, the band kickstarted another era with Vol. 1. “Divide” having generated 16 million Spotify streams and counting followed by “Left Behind”\, exploding to the tune of 31 million Spotify streams with no signs of slowing down. Upon the arrival of “Forgotten”\, Revolver praised it among the “6 Best New Songs Right Now.” The Plot In You’s Vol. 2 EP is a powerful showcase of the band’s evolution\, blending raw emotion with polished musicality and stands as a testament to The Plot In You’s growth and artistic maturity\, captivating listeners with its intense yet introspective narratives with tracks “Closure”\, “Don’t Look Away”\, and “All That I Can Give” further solidifying their place as one of the genre’s most compelling acts.\nNow with the impending arrival of their new EP\, Vol. 3\, the band is set to captivate fans once again. Featuring three compelling tracks\, the lead single “Been Here Before” explores the emotional turbulence of relationships\, weaving a narrative of enduring the highs and lows. “Spare Me” delves into the heavy burden of societal pressures and the palpable guilt that comes from feeling helpless in the face of overwhelming news. “Pretend” offers a raw look at the world’s current state\, channeling a sense of disillusionment and examining the disengagement of looking away from the tragedies that are happening daily. Vol. 3 promises to be a powerful addition to the band’s discography\, reflecting their knack for tackling profound themes with sincerity and intensity.
