Adam Ezra Group to Perform at Avenel Performing Arts Center

originally published: 02/27/2024


(AVENEL, NJ) -- Woodbridge Township presents the Adam Ezra Group at The Avenel Performing Arts Center with support from Woodbridge Arts on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at 7:30pm. Joe Cirotti Trio will open the night.

Working outside the confines of the traditional music industry, Adam Ezra and his bandmates – Corinna Smith (fiddle), Alex Martin (drums), Poche Ponce (bass) – built a community of fans through sheer grit and determination, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support. From hole in the wall bars and house concerts to sold-out headline shows and dates with the likes of Little Big Town, The Wallflowers, Gavin DeGraw, Train, and The Wailers, Ezra and his bandmates treated every single gig like their last, attracting a die-hard following that believed not just in the music, but in their commitment to activism and social change, as well.

Tickets are $34.50 (plus fees) and available for purchase online. The Avenel Performing Arts Center (APAC) is located at 150 Avenel Street in Avenel, New Jersey.

The Joe Cirotti Trio is a well-oiled string band from the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge. In 2015, Joe Cirotti, Mike Alexander, and Pete Lister’s respective multi instrumentalist upbringings fused with a collective passion for the roots of American folk, country, and bluegrass music.

The Avenel Performing Arts Center (APAC) is a multi-disciplinary performing arts center located in Avenel, New Jersey. Funded by the Woodbridge Arts Alliance, The APAC promises to energize Avenel and surrounding communities by programming exceptional, professional theatre, music, comedy, dance and more.
