Tony Tedesco & Friends at Belmar Arts Center
(BELMAR, NJ) -- "Are you going to write about the show?" I was asked at the Belmar Arts Center. To be honest, I hadn’t gone to the show planning to write about it. The show was billed as "Tony Tedesco & Friends" and featured Tony with Keith Monacchio and Lou Montesano - three guys you might have been able to see each week at The Saint 20 years ago.

Four Great Concerts Coming to MPAC This Fall
(MORRISTOWN, NJ) -- This fall, four acts that defined the sound of the 80s, 90s and beyond take the Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) stage this Fall. Four concerts, four different genres, but one common theme: enduring music, performed live and as powerful as ever. Toad the Wet Sprocket strips their alt-rock radio staples down to an intimate acoustic set. The Mavericks come together for a heartfelt tribute to the late Raul Maolo, the voice behind their legendary sound. Geoff Tate, the voice of Queensryche, performs the progressive metal landmark Operation: Mindcrime in its entirety. And 10,000 Maniacs continue to deliver the poetic, lush songs that took them from college-radio royalty to the top of the charts.
