(HOBOKEN, NJ) -- Looking for the heart of Saturday night? Find it in Hoboken on Saturday, May 10, 2025 when the 503 Social Club presents singer/songwriter Eddie Skuller's tribute to the "Ballads of Tom Waits." Skuller explores the dark, poetic world of Tom Waits with diverse selections from his extensive catalog.

Although Skuller's amber-saturated vocals contrast with Wait's raucous gravel-like voice, there is a connection channeled through the music's emotional depth and lyrical intensity. Skuller can forge a deep, powerful bond with his audience, which enhances the tragic expression at the core of Waits' music.

“I connect with the strange nature of life expressed in Waits’ songs through themes of sorrow, regret, desire and dreams,” says Skuller.

Eddie Skuller’s acclaimed vocals have been noted in the press including the Philadelphia Daily News which said, "Skuller embraces the dark and moody but injects the tender promise of hope. Not an easy thing for most singers to pull off.” The New York Times noted, "Skuller’s lofty tenor is too original to pigeonhole.”

This show features many songs from Tom Waits’ extensive catalog including the ageless treasures “I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You,” “San Diego Serenade,” “Ol’ 55,” “Downtown Train,” and “Jersey Girl.”

Tickets are available for purchase online. 503 Social Club is located at 503 3rd Street, Hoboken, New Jersey.

Eddie Skuller is accompanied by Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs, Ryan Adams, Rhett Miller) on keyboards and Jeremy Chatzky (Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Laura Cantrell) on upright bass.  Both musicians are masters of the New York music scene with whom Skuller has performed as a perennial guest singer with The Losers Lounge, an acclaimed tribute series that appears at Joe’s Pub and City Winery.
