SUMMARY:Joe Piscopo. Live.
DESCRIPTION:Television\, film\, theater\, nightclubs—they’re all fields in which Joe Piscopo has won the acclaim and affection of millions. For over 25 years\, Joe has proven to be one of show business’ brightest lights. After stints as a disc jockey and dinner-theater performer\, Joe turned to comedy. In 1980\, he was chosen to join a newly-formed ensemble charged with one of the most difficult tasks in TV history—replacing the original cast of Saturday Night Live. \nBy the time he left the show in 1985\, Joe had left his mark on the program\, and the nation\, thanks to his wide range of hilarious original characters and celebrity impersonations\, from The Sports Guy and Doug Whiner to David Letterman and\, of course\, Frank Sinatra\, who repeatedly endorsed Joe’s portrayal of him\, referring to Joe as “The Vice-Chairman of the Board.” \nHis work on SNL naturally led to Hollywood\, and starring roles in such smash hits as Wise Guys (with Danny DeVito) and Johnny Dangerously (with Michael Keaton). Other film credits include Dead Heat\, Sidekicks with Chuck Norris\, and a dramatic\, critically-acclaimed performance in Jonathan Parker’s Bartleby. Joe recently had the lead role of Jack Cosmo in the musical comedy How Sweet It Is with Paul Sorvino. \nLive performances have always been an important part of Joe’s career. He has long been one of America’s most popular comedy concert attractions\, filling arenas and casino showrooms from coast to coast and in Canada (including the prestigious Montreal Jazz Festival!). Joe tours with his own original Big Band tribute to Frank Sinatra\, as well as his multimedia comedy show. \nJoe has also won acclaim for his dramatic guest-starring roles on the NBC drama\, Law and Order. You might have also seen Joe as a guest on The FOX News Channel\, or co-hosting the Columbus Day Parade each year in NYC with Maria Bartiromo or on The Late Show with David Letterman. \nAlthough his unique talents are in constant demand from show business quarters\, Joe devotes an extraordinary amount of time to non-profit and charitable activities. His willingness to give back knows no limits. As the Spokesperson for Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey\, Joe is now lending his time and talents to fundraising\, public relations\, and advocacy on behalf of Boys & Girls Clubs. We are fortunate to have such commitment and passion from a man who keeps such a busy schedule. He truly is “Jersey’s Best.” \nFor his support of our US Military Forces\, Joe was honored to receive the Commendation Medal\, the highest civilian award from the state of New Jersey. \nMost recently\, Joe was among the 2013 class of inductees to the New Jersey Hall of Fame. You can hear Joe every day on the radio from 6am-10am\, leading the morning drive for Salem Media’s Flagship Station\, AM 970 “The Answer.” \nAlthough Joe’s impressive career and public service includes several major accomplishments\, he insists his proudest achievement of all is twice being named Father of the Year\, in 1983 by the National Father’s Day Council\, and in 1989 by the New Jersey Council of Children’s Rights. No matter how busy he may be\, Joe always makes sure he has enough time at his New Jersey home for his children\, Joey (an impressive talent\, in his own right!)\, Alexandra\, Michael\, Olivia and Charley-Rae.

SUMMARY:Linda Eder – “If You See Me”
DESCRIPTION:Showcasing one of the greatest voices of our time\, Linda Eder’s diverse repertoire spans Broadway\, Standards\, Pop\, Country\, and Jazz. When she performs “live” in concert\, it is amazing to experience the ease with which she moves back and forth from one genre to another\, as if she were gifted with the vocal ability to perform each genre as well as all the others. \nBorn in Tucson\, Arizona and raised in Brainerd\, Minnesota\, Eder began her career right out of high school singing all around her home state\, and she eventually landed a gig at Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City\, New Jersey. But it was her appearance on the 1987 season of “Star Search\,” during which she won for an unprecedented 12 straight weeks\, which attracted the attention of audiences and record companies alike. \nEder launched her recording career in 1991 with her self-titled debut album and soon established a vital niche as America’s most popular and acclaimed new interpreter of the Pop\, Standard\, and Theatrical genres. She released two more solo albums before starring in the Broadway production of JEKYLL & HYDE beginning on April 28\, 1997. As the tragic character “Lucy” in this new musical\, Eder blew the roof off New York City’s Plymouth Theatre eight times a week as she belted out her signature songs “Someone Like You” and “A New Life.” Her Broadway debut\, for which she was rewarded with a Drama Desk nomination\, sent her already rapidly rising star blazing across the sky\, securing her a spot as one of America’s most beloved singers and dynamic “live” performers. Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote\, “What do we mean when we use the word perfection? The question arises every time I watch the pop singer Linda Eder….” \nAfter leaving Broadway\, Eder’s recording career continued “full steam ahead” with her discography to date being comprised of 18 solo recordings and numerous musical recordings. She focused on mostly Broadway\, Standard\, and Pop music for many years\, which highlighted her abundant vocal gifts as well as her skill for delivering dramatic\, emotionally resonant interpretations of mostly familiar songs while making them her own. Her highly successful first Christmas album\, CHRISTMAS STAYS THE SAME\, is a perfect example of the way she is able to transform and interpret best-loved Christmas music and make it her own without compromising the original. \nIn 2008\, Eder stepped outside the box and her familiar “wheelhouse” to record THE OTHER SIDE OF ME\, a Country Pop blend of contemporary music\, which included a song written by Linda herself. And\, in June 2010\, she and Clay Aiken covered Roy Orbison’s “Crying” as a duet on Aiken’s album\, TRIED & TRUE. \nIn 2013\, Linda established her own record company under the name Tressamail\, Inc.\, and in that same year she released her first recording on that newly-established label\, the highly-acclaimed CHRISTMAS WHERE YOU ARE. This CD features 12 tracks – six selected by her fans via social media and two originals from Eder herself. It also featured a unique twist on the classic\, “Baby\, It’s Cold Outside\,” which Linda rewrote and recorded with her teenage son\, Jake. It was to represent a classic mother-son debate over going outside to play in a snow storm. \nEder has released two additional recordings on her own record label. In 2014\, she released her first ever “live” CD\, LINDALIVE\, which was recorded in Saratoga\, New York before a wildly enthusiastic crowd. In November\, 2015\, she released RETRO VOLUME 1. This recording features 14 tracks written by Frank Wildhorn\, Jack Murphy\, Jason Howland\, Leslie Bricusse\, Nan Knighton\, Baird Jarman\, and Maury Yeston. It is filled with the kind of lush\, sweeping Broadway-esque melodies that first introduced Linda’s voice to her many fans. \nIn 2018\, Linda recorded her 17th solo album\, a Broadway/Standards CD entitled IF YOU SEE ME\, with music for the title track written by her son\, Jake Wildhorn\, and lyrics written by Linda herself. She has also put out her first “behind the scenes” DVD entitled THE OTHER SIDE compiled from personal moments at work and at home over a three-year period and culminating with the making of her new CD (IF YOU SEE ME). \nShe has appeared on television numerous times. TrailMIX\, her prime-time Animal Planet special about singers with a passion for horses\, was a natural extension of her love for animals and featured Linda interviewing fellow recording artists and performers Sheryl Crow\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Irish tenor Ronan Tynan\, Rob Thomas\, and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry. She has been featured on numerous PBS television concert specials including Clay Aiken’s Tried & True\, Hallelujah Broadway\, Linda Eder: The PBS Concert\, Best of Broadway: The Leading Ladies\, Best of Broadway: The Love Songs\, Jim Brickman Plays The Disney Songbook\, and more. Her 2001 Holiday Concert\, Christmas Stays the Same\, was broadcast on Bravo TV and continues to be a popular-selling DVD. \nThe concert stage remains the mainstay of Eder’s career. She has performed for sold-out crowds in venues across the country and throughout Europe. She has performed at many prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall\, Kennedy Center\, The Palace Theatre\, Radio City Music Hall\, Wolftrap\, New York City’s Town Hall\, Davies Hall\, among many others. Always touring in great company\, her collaborators have included the late Oscar-winning composer and pianist Marvin Hamlisch\, Emmy and Grammy winner Michael Feinstein\, and conductor of the Boston Pops Keith Lockhart. Eder is happiest on stage singing for her audiences and spreading the joy she exudes. \nhttps://lindaeder.com

SUMMARY:Jay and the Americans
DESCRIPTION:“ONLY IN AMERICA” – In one of the greatest turnabouts in Rock and Roll history\, the group JAY AND THE AMERICANS\, started by four teenage boys in Sandy Yaguda’s Brooklyn basement 40 years ago\, have bought back their rightful name in federal court\, restoring the name to its rightful owners. Very few bands have ever reached the musical heights of JAY AND THE AMERICANS. From 1962- 1971\, this group charted an unprecedented twelve top 10 records. With three original band members\, Sandy Yaguda (aka Deane – founding member)\, Howie Kirschenbaum (aka Kane – original member)\, and Marty Kupersmith (aka Sanders – original member)\, plus the addition of “Jay” Reincke — the third Jay and probably the best yet — they have recreated the authentic sound of all of their great hits that everyone remembers. \nJAY AND THE AMERICANS’ first record was “TONIGHT” (from the Broadway musical WEST SIDE STORY)\, and their breakout hit song was “SHE CRIED.” JAY AND THE AMERICANS’ next chart hit was “ONLY IN AMERICA\,” followed by top ten hits “COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER” and later “THIS MAGIC MOMENT.” \nWhere were you when you first heard “CARA MIA”? JAY AND THE AMERICANS pays tribute to the late ROY ORBISON with “CRYING\,” and no other band in history has sold more copies of the song “SOME ENCHANTED EVENING” than JAY AND THE AMERICANS!!! \nNEIL DIAMOND’s first hit song released\, “SUNDAY AND ME\,” was recorded by none other than JAY AND THE AMERICANS\, who have toured with such legendary artists as ROY ORBISON\, THE BEATLES\, and THE ROLLING STONES. \nJAY AND THE AMERICANS were a major force in starting the rock and roll revival with their album “WAX MUSEUM\,” where they paid tribute to many great rock and roll artists with their versions of such great songs as “HUSHABYE\,” “WALKIN’ IN THE RAIN\,” and a song that reached the top ten charts with “THIS MAGIC MOMENT.” You will hear all of these songs\, which are featured in the new JAY AND THE AMERICANS show. \nIn 2002\, JAY AND THE AMERICANS were inducted into the VOCAL GROUP HALL OF FAME\, placing them among the greatest vocal groups in rock and roll history.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:Judy Collins accompanied by the South Shore Symphony will start your Holiday Season off right with this program celebrating Christmas. \nJudy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nThe award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Judy’s dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Clowns\,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical A Little Night Music\, won “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She’s garnered several top-ten hits and gold- and platinum-selling albums. Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, Shawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins. \nJudy began her impressive music career at age 13 as a piano prodigy\, dazzling audiences by performing Mozart’s “Concerto for Two Pianos.” But eventually\, the hard luck tales and rugged sensitivity of folk revival music by artists such as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger seduced her away from a life as a concert pianist. Her path pointed to a lifelong love affair with the guitar and pursuit of emotional truth in lyrics. The focus and regimented practice of classical music\, however\, would be a source of strength to her inner core as she navigated the highs and lows of the music business. \nIn 1961\, she released her masterful debut\, A Maid of Constant Sorrow\, which featured interpretative works of social poets of the time such as Bob Dylan\, Phil Ochs\, and Tom Paxton. This began a wonderfully fertile thirty-five-year creative relationship with Jac Holzman and Elektra Records. Around this time\, Judy became a tastemaker within the thriving Greenwich Village folk community and brought other singer-songwriters to a wider audience\, including poet/musician Leonard Cohen\, and musicians Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman. Throughout the ‘60s\, ‘70s\, ‘80s\, ‘90s\, and up to the present\, she has remained a vital artist\, enriching her catalog with critically-acclaimed albums while balancing a robust touring schedule. \nProlific as ever\, Judy recorded a DVD special Judy Collins: A Love Letter to Stephen Sondheim\, in her hometown of Denver\, CO. Along with the Greely Philharmonic Orchestra\, Judy dazzled the audience with Sondheim’s beautiful songs and her lovely\, radiant voice. A DVD and CD companion will be released in early 2017. Judy also released a collaborative album in June 2016\, Silver Skies Blue\, with writing partner Ari Hest. Silver Skies Blue has been Grammy nominated for Best Folk Album in 2017; this is the first Grammy nomination for Collins in over 40 years. \nOn September 18\, 2015\, Judy released Strangers Again. She invited a cast of icons and young talents to sing with her on this fresh collection\, from Willie Nelson\, Jackson Browne and Jeff Bridges to Glen Hansard\, Ari Hest and Bhi Bhiman. Judy delicately soars over a revitalized “Send in the Clowns” and breathes new life into “Hallelujah.” She puts her indelible touch on songs by Leonard Bernstein\, Randy Newman\, James Taylor\, and more. \nIn 2012\, she released the CD/DVD album Judy Collins Live at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, which aired on PBS. This special television program was nominated for a New York Emmy and won a Bronze Medal at the 2013 New York Festival International Television & Film Awards. Based on its success\, in 2014 she filmed another spectacular show in Ireland at Dromoland Castle: Live in Ireland was released in 2014. This program also won a Bronze Medal at the 2014 New York Festival International Television & Film Awards\, and the program was broadcast on PBS in 2014 and 2015. \nJudy has also authored several books\, including the powerful and inspiring Sanity & Grace and her extraordinary memoir\, Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: My Life in Music. For her most recent title released in 2017\, Cravings\, she provides a no-holds barred account of her harrowing struggle with compulsive overeating\, and the journey that led her to a solution. Alternating between chapters on her life and those of the many diet gurus she has encountered along the way (Atkins\, Jean Nidtech of Weight Watchers\, and Andrew Weil\, to name a few)\, Cravings is the culmination of Judy’s genuine desire to share what she’s learned—so that no one has follow her heart-rending path to recovery. \nIn addition\, she remains a social activist\, representing UNICEF and numerous other causes. She is the director (along with Jill Godmillow) of Portrait of a Woman\, an Academy Award-nominated film about Antonia Brico\, the first woman to conduct major symphonies around the world\, and Judy’s classical piano teacher when she was young. \nJudy Collins\, now 77\, is as creatively vigorous as ever\, writing\, touring worldwide\, and nurturing fresh talent. She is a modern-day Renaissance woman who is also an accomplished painter\, filmmaker\, record label head\, musical mentor\, and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart. \n*Limited number of VIP Meet and Greet tickets available — CLICK HERE *
