At The Tabernacle presents Willie Nile & Graham Parker

(MT. TABOR, NJ) -- At The Tabernacle presents Willie Nile & Graham Parker on Saturday, May 6 at 7:30pm. Two icons in one night for a special At The Tabernacle co-bill. Two of the leanest and meanest artists who laid the groundwork for the post-punk age, both perform with the passionate stage attack that taps the urgency and energy of punk and new wave with the polish and finesse of classic rock’s best writers and singer-songwriters. Willie and Graham’s songbooks are still full of melodic hooks that are as sharp and dramatic as their words. Two stars in one night on one stage!
