(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Known for creating some of the most vital and exciting doo-wop music on the American scene, Dion DiMucci (best known simply as Dion) defined rock and roll for an entire generation. On Sunday, July 15th at 8:00pm, this beloved music icon will take the stage at Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) in Englewood.
Dion and his music represent a special time and place - a moment when a song could mean so much and a singer could sum up what it means to be young, in love and on top of the world. With his group Dion and the Belmonts, he topped the charts with hits like “I Wonder Why,” “A Teenager in Love” and “Where or When.” They were pioneers in rock and roll, and they made music that has endured.
Going solo in 1960, Dion racked up a string of number-one hits that many still consider to be the best of the entire rock and roll era, from “Runaround Sue” to “Lovers Who Wander” to “The Wanderer.” Music Critics say he is the only first-generation rock and roll artist who has remained creative and relevant through the decades. In 1989, Dion was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2007 he was nominated for a Grammy. His last albums have included some of his best work. He has never stopped making music, because people have never stopped listening.
BergenPAC is located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, New Jersey.
On Thursday, July 4, 2024, moe. will be returning to the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. Joining them will be summer tour collaborators, Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country and Neighbor. To celebrate the return of moe. for the 50th anniversary of the Stone Pony, I was able to catch up with Jim Loughin (percussionist/Swiss army knife) and relive the glory days of past performances at the Jersey Shore while discussing the current state of the band.
