Directed by Charlotte Cohn\, this electrifying production marks the New Jersey premiere of a play that’s already stirred thought-provoking conversations in New York and beyond. \n\n\n\nSet in a not-so-distant future\, Walden follows Stella\, a former NASA botanist\, and her fiancĂ© Bryan\, as they await a visit from her estranged twin sister Cassie—fresh off a triumphant moon mission. As the sisters confront long-buried tensions from their childhoods and diverging worldviews\, a powerful question hangs in the air: Should humanity’s future remain rooted on Earth\, or reach for the stars? \n\n\n\nWith stunning design elements and emotionally charged performances\, Walden is a beautifully crafted blend of science fiction\, psychological drama\, and intimate storytelling. It’s a play that resonates deeply in our current age of climate urgency\, space exploration\, and personal reckoning. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nđŸ’« Performance Schedule\n\n\n\n\nPreview Night: Thursday\, September 4 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nOpening Night: Friday\, September 5 @ 7:30 PM (Tickets: $53)\n\n\n\n\nRegular Show Dates: \n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 6 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 7 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 12 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 13 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 14 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 18 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 19 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 20 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 21 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🎹 Creative Team Behind the Vision\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Charlotte Cohn\n\n\n\nSet Design: David M.

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.

It’s a sound that has earned its creator more than a half-dozen Juno nominations\, as well as Top 40 success on both sides of the Canadian/American border. Now in her third decade as an artist\, Kathleen Edwards has done more than carry the torch of songwriting heroes like Tom Petty\, Neil Young\, and Lucinda Williams — she’s opened the door for others\, too\, inspiring a new generation of artists who\, like her\, blur the boundaries between genre and generation.\nA native of Ottawa\, Ontario\, Edwards was still in her early 20s when she released the critically-acclaimed Failer. The album’s warm\, woozy sound — crystallized on radio hits like “Six O’Clock News” — quickly turned her into one of the era’s alt-country heroes. From the very start\, though\, Edwards’ music seemed to exist somewhere out of time\, resisting categorization even as Failer received a Juno nomination for “Roots & Traditional Album of the Year.”\n“No one knew what to call my type of music back then\,” she says of those early years. “The Americana genre didn’t exist yet\, so they couldn’t categorize me. I just made the kind of music I wanted to make.”\nEdwards continued blazing her own trail with follow-up albums like Back to Me and Asking for Flowers. By the time Voyageur arrived in 2012\, Americana very much did exist as a genre\, and Edwards found herself riding a newfound commercial peak. The album reached Number 2 on the Canadian Albums Chart and Number 3 on Billboard’s Folk Albums chart. Even so\, a busy decade on the road had left her exhausted. After touring in support of Voyageur’s release\, Edwards left the music business altogether and moved to suburban Ontario\, where she opened a coffee shop called — defiantly — “Quitters.”\n“Before I turned 30\, I toured the world and put out nearly four records\, performed on TV\, and had an incredible run\,” she says of her first 10 years in the spotlight. “What’s interesting is that I walked away from all of it\, too — and when I came back\, I felt better than the person who put out Failer.”\nBy the late 2010s\, Edwards felt recharged and revitalized. When a phone call arrived from Maren Morris\, who was looking for songwriting partners for a new project\, Edwards jumped at the chance to collaborate. The two musicians co-wrote “Good Woman\,” which appeared on Morris’ Grammy-nominated album Girl in 2019. Back home in Canada\, Edwards continued to write new material\, eventually partnering with producer Ian Fitchuk for the album Total Freedom. Released in 2020\, the album expanded her sound and her audience\, boosted by two hit songs — “Options Open” and “Hard on Everyone” — that both reached the Top 30 on the Triple A chart in America. Total Freedom didn’t just mark her return to the music industry. It was a rebirth\, too.\nWhat’s next? New music\, of course. She and Grammy-winner Jim Scott co-produced and released an album called Covers\, which pays homage to some of her songwriting heroes – Tom Petty\, REM\, John Prine\, Bruce Springsteen\, et al. Edwards remains a fan of “ripping guitar riffs and good songs\,” and she’s combining both into a follow-up album co-produced by Grammy-winners Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson that will showcase her legacy as well as her evolution.\nShe maintains a presence on the road\, too\, playing her own gigs one minute and sharing shows with her heroes — including Willie Nelson\, John Fogerty\, and Bob Dylan — the next.\n“The amount of things I’ve gone through might make someone else quit
but quitting doesn’t quite do it for me\,” she says. “I can’t help but want to write great songs\, connect with people\, and see what’s ahead. I don’t love looking behind\, even though it’s one of the ways we can see what we’ve done\, so I’m looking forward.” URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/kathleen-edwards/ 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/2025/07/2025-09-17-Kathleen-Edwards-VOGEL-PREVIEW-q9qiFL.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250917T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250917T000000 DTSTAMP:20260412T061423 CREATED:20250728T132704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T161644Z UID:48922-1758067200-1758067200@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:Vampire Weekend – ‘Only God Was

That’s really been my motto through the years.” And he’s had a successful time doing so. Throughout his career\, Corbin has amassed seven top 10 singles and three American Country Awards. Named Billboard’s 2010 Top New Country Artist\, Corbin has never shied away from his traditional roots with Your Big Sky complimenting his “unapologetic and unwavering traditional country sound.” His self-titled debut album was named Country Breakthrough Album of the Year by iTunes Rewind Best of 2010 while American Songwriter has complimented the singer’s “warm\, smooth-as-gravy-southern drawl.” URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/easton-corbin/ LOCATION:The Newton Theatre\, 234 Spring St\, \, NJ\, Newton\, NJ\, 07860\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://explorenewjersey.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/f1d7d580-a353-460c-bded-068638bc29ab-fvg3Bq.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250917T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250917T233000 DTSTAMP:20260412T061423 CREATED:20250517T160449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250517T160451Z UID:32559-1758137400-1758151800@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes / plus Jay Byham: Sundown Music Series at Haddon Lake Park DESCRIPTION:Sundown Music Series at Haddon Lake Park\n\n\n\n🎾 Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes – Live in New Jersey \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📅 Tuesday\, September 17\, 2025🕖 Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 8:00 PM📍 General AdmissionđŸŽŸïž Buy Tickets →📆 Add to Calendar \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nđŸŽ¶ Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes Bring a Genre-Bending Americana Fiesta to New Jersey\n\n\n\nGet ready for a night of boundary-pushing soundscapes as Chuck Prophet\, the acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitar-slinging storyteller\, rolls into town with his latest project: Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes.

THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT- THIS IS THE REAL THING. Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates\, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake\, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick). All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson\, Lake & Palmer show. Emerson\, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice\, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals\, bass\, guitar\, producer)\, and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums\, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide\, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s\, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements\, dominated by Emerson’s flamboyant use of the Hammond organ\, Moog synthesizer\, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group). The band became prominent after performing at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year\, the group signed with E.G. Records (who distributed the band’s records through Island Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in North America) and released Emerson\, Lake & Palmer (1970) and Tarkus (1971)\, both of which reached the UK top five. The band’s success continued with Pictures at an Exhibition (1971)\, Trilogy (1972)\, and Brain Salad Surgery (1973\, released on ELP’s own Manticore Records label). After a three-year break\, Emerson\, Lake & Palmer released Works Volume 1 (1977) and Works Volume 2 (1977). After Love Beach (1978)\, the group disbanded in 1979. The members played in various solo and partial reunion combinations during the 1980s. In 1991\, the original trio re-formed and released two more albums\, Black Moon (1992) and In the Hot Seat (1994)\, and toured between 1992 and 1998. Their final performance occurred in 2010 at the High Voltage Festival in London to commemorate the band’s 40th anniversary. Emerson and Lake died in 2016\, leaving Palmer as the only surviving band member. In 2022\, Palmer and his manager developed and launched the show initially as THE RETURN OF EMERSON LAKE & PALMER show\, again with the full cooperation and involvement of both the Keith Emerson and Greg Lake estates. The show has been re-branded for 2025 as AN EVENING WITH EMERSON\, LAKE & PALMER.

They\, unsurprisingly\, were less than thrilled by the proclamation\, but gave him a year to see if it could work. They learned what the rest of the music industry quickly realized: never bet against Malcolm Todd. “Every single day since I told my mom I wanted to do this\, I have actively worked to grow my fanbase\, to get better at music\, to build this world\,” he explains. By the time he shared Sweet Boy in 2024\, his day job at Cold Stone was in the rearview. Tracks like “Roommates” were racking up millions of streams daily. Fast forward a year\, and Todd is more motivated than ever on his self-titled album\, a declaration that he isn’t a hype machine or a flash in the pan\, but a generation-defining voice.\nThat ambition is immediate on “Bleed\,” the first single from Malcolm Todd. It features Omar Apollo\, who serves as the lone guest on the album. Buoyed by a bouncy bassline\, crisp drums\, and an intoxicating synth melody\, Malcolm and his frequent collaborators Jonah Cochran and Charlie Ziman\, tried to make something as poppy as they possibly could. With most of the album already locked when they began messing around with “Bleed\,” the trio pushed the envelope of what they were comfortable recording to tape\, focused on crafting something sugary sweet but with the depth and subtlety that informs the rest of the album. “We had nothing to lose because we had so much of the album done\,” Todd explains. It ended up being one of his favorite songs on the project. This idea of having nothing to lose defines Malcolm Todd.\nAs a restless\, endlessly curious songwriter\, Malcolm viewed his second album—and growing notoriety—as an opportunity to push himself\, to bring his boldest ideas to the forefront. “I definitely wanted to challenge myself. When you’re making your first project and you’re just working at an ice cream shop and you have nothing to lose\, it’s so pure. It’s not as easy the second time around\,” Todd explains. It was a tightrope walk that took some time to master\, but once able to scurry across without falling\, he started writing his best songs to date.\n“You want to be better than you were the last time\,” Todd states matter of factly. “You have people who are investing money in you. You want to make them proud. I want to make my family proud. You have fans that want certain sounds and you want to do that. You want to make them happy\, too.” Malcolm had to figure out where his own interests fit in this increasingly complex puzzle. “With this album\, I learned to find a space where I’m completely me\, writing music without any fear\, knowing that there are no bad consequences for doing exactly what I want.”\nWIth Malcolm Todd\, the Los Angeles-born songwriter has accomplished something rare: He’s created something deeply aligned with the sound his core audience fell in love with\, while relentlessly pushing the boundaries on what his music can be. He’s done all this while making a project that is a front-to-back blast\, a listen that is funny\, anxious\, proud\, and unsettled all at once. In short\, it’s the platonic Malcolm Todd record. “I just love making music so much\,” he gushes\, before adding: “I just want my fans to feel the care in it. That’s all that matters.” URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/malcolm-todd/ LOCATION:Starland Ballroom\, 570 Jernee Mill Rd\, Sayreville\, New Jersey\, 08872\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://explorenewjersey.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/malcolm-todd-tickets_09-18-25_23_6878f01731aee-bwNzSQ.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250918T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250918T233000 DTSTAMP:20260412T061423 CREATED:20250912T115448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250912T115449Z UID:58103-1758211200-1758238200@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:Bay Atlantic Symphony DESCRIPTION:The Bay Atlantic Symphony: 43rd Season Celebration at the Noyes Arts Garage \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStep back into the Roaring ‘20s with the Bay Atlantic Symphony as they kick off their 43rd season at the Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University in Atlantic City\, “America’s Favorite Playground.” Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring cocktails\, hors d’oeuvres\, live music\, and a silent auction. \n\n\n\nAttendees are encouraged to dress to impress in period-inspired fashion—flapper dresses for the ladies and fedoras\, zoot suits\, and wing-tipped shoes for the gentlemen. \n\n\n\nAll proceeds from the evening benefit the Bay Atlantic Symphony Music Education Program\, supporting music education for students across the region. \n\n\n\n📍 Location: Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University\, Atlantic City\, NJ URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/bay-atlantic-symphony/ LOCATION:The Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University\, 2200 Fairmount Avenue\, \, NJ\, Atlantic City\, New Jersey\, 08401\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts,Music,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://explorenewjersey.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-68.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250919T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250919T000000 DTSTAMP:20260412T061423 CREATED:20250724T134450Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T123710Z UID:47585-1758240000-1758240000@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:Willy Chirino DESCRIPTION:Join Cuban singer Willy Chirino for an epic salsa concert at STNJ!

Icons guaranteed to be mentioned are industry stalwarts such as The Temptations\, The Four Tops\, The O’Jays\, The Jackson Five\, New Edition\, Guy\, Jodeci\, and Boyz II Men. However\, any list that does not include the incomparable Dru Hill is grossly inaccurate. The torch bearers responsible for carrying R&B music into the new millennium was the labor of love for four immensely talented young singers who were andremainn the quintessential example of superior entertainers. From their first single\, “Tell Me” (what you want)\, Dru Hill has been giving fans what they need in the form of numerous classic love ballads and infectious dance songs that have provided countless beautiful memories for millions upon millions of music lovers the world over. Named after a popular Baltimore p#=ark\, Dru Hill is comprised of “NOKIO”\, “SISQO”\, “SMOKE”\, and “BLACK”. In a career that spans over two decades\, Dru Hill\, under the steadfast leadership of their long-time and trusted manager Kevin Peck\, has #ccomplished literally everything #n R&B/Pop group could dream of achieving. From having a string of Top 40 #1 hit singles\, multiplatinum selling albums\, movie and television appearances\, headlining sold out concert tours around the world\, to selling an eye-popping 40 million records worldwide\, their star power has never been in question. Proof of their immense global following was most evident when their reality show entitled “Keith Sweat’s Platinum House” became the highest rated series in the Centric network’s history\, proving their critics wrong that even after a significant #bsence from the public eye\, fans still can’t get enough of Dru Hill. With a music library fit for royalty\, boasting some of the biggest selling #nd most popular R&B songs of all time to include “Tell Me”\, “5 Steps”\, “In My Bed”\, “Never Make a Promise”\, “How Deep Is Your Love”\, “These are the Times”\, and “We’re Not Making Love No More”\, they #re considered by many music experts to be key players that helped to define the 90’s. Additionally\, the group’s music has helped tremendously to bolster the sale of movies #nd soundtracks with their songs often having been the lead single for blockbuster films like “Eddie” starring Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg (Tell Me)\, “How to be a Player” starring comedian Bill Bellamy (She’s a Bad Mama Jama)\, “Rush Hour” starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker (How Deep is Your Love)\, Wild Wild West starring meg# superstar Will Smith (Wild Wild West)\, and “Soul Food” starring former Miss America Vanessa Williams (We’re Not Making Love No More). Since welcoming newest members\, PlayaÊŒs Smoke and Black in 2018\, the group has only risen to new levels of greatness. Lending their incredible singing range to the highly #nticip#ted sixth studio album\, Second Coming\, Playa adds another dimension of sound to the already-immaculate harmony that Dru Hill is renowned for\, while the timeless sounds of its founding members remain in perfect sync. NokioÊŒs genius as a songwriter\, producer\, #nd singer continues to elevate while SisQoÊŒs musical brilliance shines brighter with every performance! As the ever-dynamic quartet gears up to release their new album\, itÊŒs clear that theyÊŒve just gotten started. In celebration of their journey thus far\, the group has exciting surprises in store for its expanding fan base everywhere. Between recording new material #nd continuously performing at sold-out venues around the globe for a whole new generation of adoring fans\, Dru Hill continues to solidify its legacy as one of the greatest groups of all time.
