Tickets for this highly anticipated event go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m.\, offering fans an opportunity to experience an unforgettable evening of classic hits and enduring melodies. \n\n\n\nDeb De Lucca leads the performance\, accompanied by a band of seasoned musicians who bring years of experience and showmanship to the stage.

From the iconic 1971 album Tapestry to the countless chart-topping hits she penned for other artists\, the tribute paints a comprehensive portrait of King’s creative genius. \n\n\n\nLong before Tapestry cemented her status as a household name\, Carole King had already written over two dozen major hits for legendary acts\, including The Shirelles\, The Chiffons\, The Drifters\, The Carpenters\, The Monkees\, Herman’s Hermits\, and Bobby Vee. Many of these songs have become enduring standards\, woven into the cultural fabric of American music. The tribute show aims not only to honor these classics but to showcase King’s ability to craft songs that remain relevant and emotionally resonant decades later. \n\n\n\nThe Newton Theatre’s intimate setting allows fans to experience the performance up close\, from the soaring vocals to the nuanced instrumentation that brings King’s work to life. With De Lucca’s powerful interpretation of timeless ballads\, upbeat anthems\, and everything in between\, audiences can expect an evening that blends nostalgia with fresh energy. From the gentle melancholy of “It’s Too Late” to the uplifting rhythms of “I Feel the Earth Move\,” the show promises moments that will resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers alike. \n\n\n\nThis tribute also underscores New Jersey’s vibrant music scene\, which continues to celebrate live performances that honor legendary artists while fostering local talent. Events like Home Again connect audiences to the rich history of songwriting\, reminding us of the enduring impact of artists like Carole King who have defined generations of music. \n\n\n\nFor anyone seeking an evening of soulful melodies\, heartfelt lyrics\, and masterful musicianship\, Home Again – A Tribute to Carole King is poised to be a standout performance this spring. Tickets will be available starting Friday morning\, and given the enduring popularity of King’s music\, fans are encouraged to secure their seats early. \n\n\n\nAddress: Newton Theatre\, Newton\, NJDate: Saturday\, April 11thTicket Information: On sale Friday at 10 a.m.

SUMMARY:Béla Fleck
DESCRIPTION:Béla Fleck Unites With Edmar Castañeda and Antonio Sánchez for Unprecedented Trio at Newton Theatre \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Jersey music fans are in for a groundbreaking performance as Béla Fleck joins forces with harpist Edmar Castañeda and drummer Antonio Sánchez for a one-night-only concert at the Newton Theatre on Friday\, April 17th at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m.\, and the show promises an evening of genre-defying virtuosity and improvisational brilliance. For more information on live music events across the state\, visit https://explorenewjersey.org/music/. \n\n\n\nBéla Fleck\, a 19-time Grammy Award winner and universally acclaimed banjo innovator\, has continually expanded the boundaries of the instrument. From his early bluegrass roots to the eclectic explorations of the Flecktones\, collaborations with Chick Corea\, and reinterpretations of classical compositions like Rhapsody in Blue\, Fleck’s career is defined by bold experimentation and extraordinary musicianship. His work consistently pushes genres into new territories while maintaining a deep connection to the banjo’s traditional spirit. \n\n\n\nJoining Fleck for this unprecedented ensemble are two of the most respected instrumentalists of their generation. Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda brings a distinctive sound and unparalleled agility to the trio. Known for his solo projects and collaborations with artists such as Hiromi\, Paquito D’Rivera\, and Grégoire Maret\, Castañeda blends jazz\, Latin rhythms\, and classical sensibilities to create an entirely new sonic landscape for the harp. \n\n\n\nComplementing the group’s unique textures is Antonio Sánchez\, a five-time Grammy Award-winning drummer whose career has spanned jazz\, contemporary fusion\, and cinematic composition. Born in Mexico City\, Sánchez has earned global acclaim through collaborations with jazz icons like Pat Metheny\, Chick Corea\, Gary Burton\, and Charlie Haden. Beyond his jazz credentials\, Sánchez gained mainstream recognition for his Golden Globe-nominated drum score for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 2014 film Birdman\, showcasing his innovative approach to rhythm and cinematic storytelling. His leadership of progressive ensembles such as Bad Hombre further underscores his versatility and vision as a musician. \n\n\n\nThe combination of Fleck’s banjo\, Castañeda’s harp\, and Sánchez’s dynamic drumming creates a soundscape unlike any other\, where jazz\, world music\, classical motifs\, and improvisation intersect. Fans can expect intricate arrangements\, spirited improvisations\, and moments of sheer musical magic\, making this concert a rare opportunity to witness three virtuosos at the peak of their creative powers. \n\n\n\nFor anyone seeking a transformative musical experience\, the Béla Fleck–BEATrio performance at the Newton Theatre offers a masterclass in innovation\, collaboration\, and instrumental brilliance.
