Saturday evening at 8 p.m., "An Evening with John Popper and Friends" rolls into the Union County PAC on the Main Stage, located at 1601 Irving Street in Rahway, NJ. Doors open at 6 p.m. with an opening act of Katrina Wolverton. Popper says that this venue was chosen in part due to its proximity to New York City and that one can expect many sides of him as a performer. "This is an anomaly to my solo tour," he explained with an air of excitement in his voice. "Friends of mine from the New York music scene were asking me when I was going to be there and this is the only stop on my solo tour where we are doing things this way just so I can have a few join me. Those coming to the show will see just about every aspect of my life. There will be a jam vibe, some traditional things, some stuff of my friends, maybe some Blues Traveler and of course my solo material. This will be a fun night. I'm looking to connect and reconnect with some friends and fans and there will be stuff from old to new to the as yet unheard."
To discover more about John Popper, please visit www.bluestraveler.com. To purchase tickets, please go to www.ucpac.org.
That's it for this week! Please continue to support live and original music and until next week....ROCK ON!
