Church bells are ringing, and light flashes in mysterious ways across a black-and-white palette. The moon is seen through tree branches and reflected off water. A beautiful woman seems to be waking from a dream, and what sounds like the singing of angels can be heard.

"I was kicking around in the '90s in Asbury Park and nothing was hitting and I came down here on a vacation and it just struck me; I needed to live in this city. I didn't even know the music here then, it was just the way the city felt, it was perfect. I moved down here with my band at the time; it all started out as a solo project, I was starting over and that just kind of morphed into The Soul Project and over the years; it has been 24 years almost and I can't believe it but it has been 24 years of molding, growing and learning from the ground up here in New Orleans."

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
