Back to the Eighties Show with Jessie’s Girl

Thursday, June 18, 2026 @ 7:30pm



Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC)
100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960

Back To The Eighties Show with Jessie’s Girl is the world’s greatest tribute to the music of the  ‘80s! Jessie’s Girl’s primary line-up includes a team of NYC’s top rock and pop vocalists: Destinee Monroe, Jerome Bell-Bastien, and Mark Rinzel. They are backed by one of the tightest bands in the city comprised of 20+ year veterans of the NYC music scene: Eric Presti on guitar, Drew  Mortali on bass, Michael Maenza on drums, and Karlee Bloom on keys and keytar. Each with  dozens of credits performing with authentic ‘80s icons who made the music famous to begin  with!

In fact, Bret Michaels, MC Hammer, Colin Hay from Men at Work, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson,  Taylor Dane, Mike Score from A Flock of Seagulls, Tone Loc, Rob Base, and many more have  all performed at the Back To The Eighties Show.

Their calendar is filled with high-profile appearances and private events around the U.S.,  bringing the Back To The Eighties Show to The Theater at Madison Square Garden for the I  Want My ‘80s Concert, ABC / NY Magazine’s launch party for The Goldbergs, a Halloween  bash with Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx, a private birthday party for ‘80s icon Neil  Patrick Harris and Coca Cola / Buffalo Wild Wings’ massive “Tablegate” event in Tempe, AZ,  opening for Smash Mouth!

The band has continuously sold out nights at prestigious regional venues such as The Capitol  Theatre in Westchester, NY, The Paramount on Long Island, the Count Basie Center for the Arts  in Red Bank, NJ, Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe, PA, and many other venues. They are the only  band to play every year on The ‘80s Cruise and have firmed a deal to continue performing  through 2024.

There is no decade like the ‘80s and no party like The Back To The Eighties Show with Jessie’s  Girl. So throw on your best neon, use extra hair spray on that hair and head to the Back To The  Eighties Show – because it’s time to party like it’s 1989!
