(AVENEL, NJ) -- Singer-songwriter Reagan Richards of the Asbury Park country duo, Williams Honor, stars in her own solo show, "Good Morning, Heartache" : Torch Songs and Timeless Standards from the Great American Songbook on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at Avenel Performing Arts Center. Showtime is 7:30pm.
Richards debuted her sold out show in 2021 (originally titled, “With Love, Reagan”) as an homage to her mother, Harriet, a big band singer who had shared the stage with Les Paul, as well as other big band leaders. Her Mom proudly sat front row as Richards delivered a blistering set of songs from days gone by, the songs her mother taught her when she was little. Classics by Judy Garland, Eydie Gorme, Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday among many others.
The show was brought back a second time in 2023, with one fan visibly missing – her Mother. She had passed away that year and the show was a beautiful and poignant tribute to her.
Tickets range from $37-$40 and are available for purchase online. Avenel Performing Arts Center is located at
