(HOPEWELL, NJ) -- Regional favorites, Alex Radus Band and Pyrenesia, will perform an eclectic mix of original music at the Hopewell Theater on Friday, December 9 at 8:00pm.
Radus is known as a “sultry crooner” (City Paper) and “master guitarist” (Courier News), but his songwriting takes center stage, pairing whimsical and poignant storytelling with a genre-bending mix of Americana, swing, blues, folk and more. Most recently, Radus released a new album, Tributaries, at Zoellner Arts Center and performed with John Gorka at Godfrey Daniels. Radus has toured the country extensively and earned critical acclaim for his songwriting, recording and performing. His music has been featured on radio, television and film, including Adolescence, directed by Ashley Avis (Black Beauty).
Pyrenesia is an acoustic swing quartet founded on the banks of the Delaware River, combining original compositions and singer-songwriter melodies with the Django Reinhardt-inspired tradition of gypsy jazz. They’ve performed at some of the area’s top venues and their album “Off-Beat Symphony” was named one of 2019’s top ten albums by NJ Spotlight. Prolific composers and performers, Pyrenesia released a follow-up EP “On and On” in 2021 and continues to deliver foot-stomping, dress-swirling, hand-clapping experiences to lift spirits and transport listeners to a musical landscape as vast as the Pyrenees mountains are high.
Tickets range from $20-$30 and are available for purchase online.
