(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents a Spring Season of Jazz with free monthly jazz jams at Clement's Place and two special concert events inside the Victoria Theater. This series, running from September through June, is co-presented by NJPAC's Jazz Advisory Committee and Rutgers University–Newark's Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS). Immerse yourself in the relaxing sounds of jazz music that stimulate the players’ and listeners' minds.
"I'm playing with a friend of mine, Husky Burnette and he does sort of a heavy blues rock kind of thing. We don't tour much but we just finished an album that is coming out some time in the Spring. I'm still at it, I don't really know what else to do other than play music and write books," laughed Douglas Bales, author, drummer and music man, whose recent book, "Rock 'N' Rolla Coaster" (Anxiety Press) details a life in music and its adventures as well as its misadventures.
(RUTHERFORD, NJ) -- Bananas Comedy Club presents Joe Gatto from January 8-11, 2026. Joe is best known from the hit TV shows "Impractical Jokers" and "The Misery Index."
The City of New Orleans, obviously, holds a mythical status in the world of jazz. The genre (or at least the form with which listeners are familiar) was invented and developed there, and every jazz musician – from the swingiest to the most avant-garde – holds at least some debt to the bygone inhabitants of the Big Easy. However, while the city is rightfully revered for its place in jazz history, its musicians tell a more complicated story.
(RAHWAY, NJ) -- New Jersey resident and former Angela Bofill Manager Rich Engel is teaming up with old friend and fellow Jersey resident Will Downing this Valentine's Day (Saturday, February 14, 2026), with a love fest not to be forgotten at the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway.

(ORADELL, NJ) -- Bergen County Players (BCP) will conclude its 2025-26 season on its main stage with The 39 Steps, a fast-paced frenzy of espionage and murderous mayhem based on Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 classic film, with a dash of Monty Python's zany humor. This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning, laughter-filled treat will be directed by Steve Bell of Hackensack. Open auditions will take place from January 13th through January 19th.
