SUMMARY:STEVEN KEENE
DESCRIPTION:Steven Keene\nThursday\, September 12\n7 PM\nJoin Americana/Folk musician Steven Keene for a one-night-only performance at Hamilton Stage! A career spanning three decades\, Keene has gained recent notoriety and critical praise for his hit song\, “This World is Your World.” No Depression raves of the track\, “Keene reincarnates [Woody] Guthrie’s most iconic protest original to deliver an anti-authoritarian anthem for a global age….” You won’t want to miss an unforgettable night of singing along to Keene’s catalog of hits as well as honoring some of the most popular protest songs of a generation. \n\nAbout Steven Keene \nKeene grew up in Brooklyn\, New York\, and got his start playing the folk clubs and cafes of the Greenwich Village scene in the late ’80s and early ’90s\, alongside contemporaries like Beck\, Suzanne Vega\, Shawn Colvin\, and others. Heavily inspired by the songwriting of Bob Dylan\, Woody Guthrie\, and Leonard Cohen\, he began performing his earliest material at The Speakeasy\, the now-closed folk club that was a singer-songwriter staple in the ’90s. \nKeene played regularly at joints like Sun Mountain Cafe and The Chameleon\, and for years would crisscross the streets of McDougal and Bleecker\, playing well-known clubs including The Bottom Line\, Lone Star Cafe\, The Mercury Lounge\, The Bitter End\, Arlene’s Grocery\, and the legendary CBGB’s. But for Keene\, it was always about the music\, and never about the fame. Maybe that’s why he surrounded himself with only the best players\, focused only on the music\, and became obsessed with honing his craft as he gigged his way from one smoke-filled Village club to the next. \n+ Special FREE Spirits Tasting By Muckleyeye 6:30PM. Local Colts Neck distillery featuring Vodka\, Gin\, Bourbon\, Rye and Rum. \n \n \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events

SUMMARY:RICK WAKEMAN - FINAL SOLO TOUR - AN EVENING OF YES MUSIC AND OTHER FAVORITES
DESCRIPTION:Rick Wakeman – Final Solo Tour\nAn Evening of YES Music and Other Favorites\nSaturday\, October 5\n8 PM\nThe ultimate keyboard wizard\, Rick Wakeman CBE\, will be embarking on a tour of the US with a series of solo piano concerts for the last time in 2024. Rick\, who has become almost as well-known for his intimate piano shows as his prog rock extravaganzas\, has decided that after a career spanning over 50 years\, he is calling a halt to lengthy American one-man show tours\, in order to concentrate on composing\, recording and collaborating with other musicians. As an exclusive gift for fans\, on these shows Rick will be premiering a brand new piece of music: Yessonata\, a 30-minute instrumental work featuring YES themes and melodies\, woven into sonata form. \n \nAbout Rick Wakeman CBE\, FRCM\nAfter studying piano privately for 12 years\, Rick gained a scholarship to the Royal College of Music\, where he studied piano\, clarinet and orchestration. In March 2012\, Prince Charles presented him with his Fellowship of the RCM. He was also made a Professor at the London College of Music. \nAs a much sought after session musician in the late sixties and early seventies\, he played on more than 2\,000 records\, including such hits as Cat Stevens’ Morning Has Broken and David Bowie’s Space Oddity and Life on Mars\, and worked with a real eclectic mixture of other notable artistes\, such as Donovan\, Cilla Black\, Marc Bolan\, Black Sabbath\, Lou Reed\, Mary Hopkin\, Dana\, Al Stewart\, Elton John and John Williams. \nIn March 1970\, he joined Strawbs. His first album with them\, Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios\, paved the way for ‘folk-rock’ and reviews from their concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall on July 11th of that year did much to take Rick’s career to a new level. \nHe joined YES in August of 1971 and has been in and out of that band on quite a few occasions! (One journalist likened the relationship to that of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor\, in as much as they can’t live with each other\, but in the same breath\, can’t live without each other! Rick told the journalist he didn’t disagree as long as it was accepted that he was ‘Richard Burton’!) \nBoth as a solo artist and with YES\, he has sold more than 50\,000\,000 albums\, although he says that only past management would be able to tell you where the royalties went! \n \n  Check out the City of Rahway’s Dinner & Show Deals! \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events

Moses in Berlin opens in an upscale apartment building in 1933 Berlin\, where a group of young friends play a game. As the game progresses\, the players face decisions with life-or-death consequences. After a series of unexpected turns\, the friends are forced into the adult world\, where they must choose between survival and betrayal. Life for these children is absurd and anguished\, but we discover that there is still room for love\, humor and redemption. \nThe reading will be directed by Joseph Discher.
