SUMMARY:The History and Performance Practices of the Negro Spiritual
DESCRIPTION:In advance of our 2nd Annual Move On Up Gospel Sing-Off & Celebration on Saturday\, May 10th\, join us for a free\, virtual program with Dr. LaToya Lain on the history and performance practices of the Negro Spiritual on Wednesday\, May 7th at 7pm. \nSpirituals\, folk songs originating from the enslaved African community\, were vehicles for resistance\, solace\, and identity. This lecture delves into their evolution\, from creation on plantations to their adaptation in concert settings and their influence on modern genres like jazz and gospel. Further\, it addresses the ongoing debate surrounding the performance of spirituals by non-African American singers\, questioning issues of appropriation and the authenticity of dialect in performance. \nDr. LaToya Lain\, a New Orleans native\, is an acclaimed singer praised for her “rich” and “captivating” voice\, an Associate Professor of Voice at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, and sings with the Metropolitan Opera Extra Chorus. LaToya has performed worldwide\, including in two GRAMMY-winning casts\, Porgy and Bess and Fire Shut Up in My Bones at The Met. At Carolina\, she teaches “The History of Negro Spirituals” and she has created a lecture-recital based on the Slave Narratives of the 1930s Federal Writer’s Project. She has performed Narrative of a Slave Woman at numerous American Colleges and Universities and globally.  She is currently curating and recording spirituals with the State of North Carolina’s Department of Natural and Cultural History to be featured in historic sites across the state. \nPre-register here: https://monmouth.zoom.us/meeting/register/BWfCdaU0SfWhGge5LawCtw

SUMMARY:2nd Annual Move On Up Gospel Sing-Off & Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:Registration Now Open for the 2nd Annual Move On Up Gospel Sing-Off & Celebration!\n .\n\n\nMove on Up! will take place on Saturday\, May 10th at 2pm in Pollak Theatre on the campus of Monmouth University.  Admission is free.  The winning choir will receive a $10\,000 cash prize to be used to improve any aspect of its ensemble.  The runner-up will receive a $5\,000 prize. A team of judges will select six entries to participate in a “sing-off” to determine the winner. Participants in this year’s sing-off will be announced April 1st. \n“Move on Up! celebrates our state’s wonderfully rich tradition of gospel music\,” said Springsteen Archives Programs Manager\, Jeri Houseworth\, the event’s producer.  “Gospel began in Black churches and is a vital part of African-American religious culture.  Gospel is also a foundation of American popular music.  Its influence can be heard in R&B\, soul\, rock\, and the blues.” \nAny New Jersey-based church or community choir can register for the event online.  Registration includes information about the choir\, plus a one song video not longer than five minutes.  Videos need not be professionally produced; videos recorded on cell phones or I-Pads are acceptable. \n“Move on Up! is less a competition than a celebration\,” added Robert Santelli\, executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music.  “It’s a showcase of gospel talent\, a tribute to gospel music\, and a chance to award prize money to be used to elevate the contemporary sounds of the music.” \nThe Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music serves as the official repository for the music of Bruce Springsteen\, plus photographs\, periodicals\, oral histories\, rare recordings\, films\, and artifacts related to Springsteen and The E Street Band.  The Center for American Music produces museum exhibitions\, symposia and seminars\, teacher workshops\, concerts\, internships\, and various other public programs to promote and celebrate the many forms of American music and their impact on our culture and national identity. \n

SUMMARY:Sinners of the Pine Barrens Talk with Pine Barrens Historian Paulie Wenger
DESCRIPTION:Music plays a haunting role in Ryan Coogler’s 2025 horror hit Sinners\, where sound serves as a conduit not just to the divine\, but to something far darker.\nBut long before the film’s release\, the Pine Barrens of New Jersey had its own tale of supernatural music. In this talk\, Pine Barrens historian Paulie Wenger explores the life and lore of Sammy Giberson\, the legendary fiddler whose talent was said to rival (and perhaps even outmatch) the Devil himself.\nJoin us for a journey through backwoods ballads\, ghostly gigs\, and the enduring power of music to stir both the soul and the shadows.\nSinners of the Pine Barrens \nPre-register here: https://monmouth.zoom.us/meeting/register/XHJFqL1bTA2cVAdBu2FtCA#/registration

SUMMARY:Springsteen in Long Branch Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:LONG BRANCH – The Long Branch Arts & Cultural Center is proud to present a special exhibition in collaboration with Monmouth University and the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. This exhibit honors Bruce Springsteen by spotlighting his formative years in Long Branch and the local roots of his iconic album “Born to Run\,” which celebrates its 50th anniversary on August 25. The exhibition opens to the public on August 18\, with an opening reception on August 19 at 6 p.m. \n  \n\n\n\nWhile living in West End in Long Branch\, Bruce Springsteen wrote “Born to Run” — the album that solidified his place as a creative force in rock and roll and launched him to worldwide fame. Fittingly\, the exhibition features an entire section dedicated to West End in the 1970s\, highlighting its lasting impact on Springsteen’s life and music. Visitors will also get a glimpse into Bruce’s surfing days along the Jersey Shore\, shedding light on the local culture and experiences that helped shape his early artistic voice. \n  \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features rarely seen posters\, photographs and “Born to Run” promotional materials\, along with iconic artifacts\, including a green drum set from Bruce’s early band\, Earth\, and a one-of-a-kind\, exact replica of the guitar seen on the “Born to Run” album cover\, offering fans a rare glimpse of the instruments that accompanied him on his rock n’ roll journey. \n  \n\n\n\nAdding to the experience\, the exhibition features an immersive interactive element: each visitor will receive a vintage-style Long Branch postcard\, adorned with early photos of Bruce\, to share a personal memory or reflection about the rock legend. At the close of the exhibition\, these collected memories will be preserved in the Bruce Springsteen Archives (which is set to open its new home on the Monmouth University campus in 2026) ensuring that fans’ voices become part of his enduring story. \n  \n\n\n\nJoin us in celebrating the city that helped shape a rock ‘n’ roll legend. We invite the community to explore the exhibition\, discover Long Branch’s influence on “The Boss\,” and take pride in the vital role our city played in his early journey. \n  \n\n\n\n“Bruce Springsteen is one of the most iconic and influential musicians to have ever lived and we are proud of his roots here in Long Branch. Not many people know the importance of his time spent in Long Branch and how it shaped specifically the “Born to Run” album\, ultimately propelling his career. We want to thank Monmouth University and the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music for this once in a lifetime exhibit\,” Mayor Pallone said. \n  \n\n\n\n“’Born to Run’ is unquestionably one of the greatest rock albums of all time\,” added Bob Santelli\, Executive Director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. “That Bruce wrote the album in Long Branch\, just a few blocks from where the Archives’ new home is being built\, only adds to the excitement of celebrating its importance.” \n  \n\n\n\n“This exhibit deepens our shared commitment to preserving the cultural legacy of the Jersey Shore and the music that has defined generations\,” said Monmouth University President Patrick F. Leahy. “We are proud to partner with the City of Long Branch to highlight the creative spirit rooted in this community and its influence on American music. \n  \n\n\n\nThe Long Branch Arts & Cultural Center will host a variety of programs throughout the exhibition\, including a Bruce Springsteen song open mic night\, a presentation on his years in Long Branch\, and a storytelling event. For questions\, call the LBACC at 732-222-7000 x 2050 or follow the City of Long Branch social media accounts. \n  \n\n\n\n*The City of Long Branch is located in Monmouth County\, New Jersey. Learn more at longbranch.org. If you would like more information about this event\, please contact Lindsay DeAngelis at 732-571-5645 or ldeangelis@longbranch.org. \n  \n\n\n\n*The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music preserves the legacy of Bruce Springsteen and celebrates the history of American music and its diversity of artists and genres. Our mission is two-fold. The Springsteen Archives serves as the official repository for materials related to Springsteen and the E Street Band\, including photographs\, historic memorabilia\, oral histories\, and more. The Center for American Music explores American music more broadly. We accomplish this by producing exhibitions\, concerts\, and educational programming that explores and honors the cultural impact of American music past\, present\, and future.

SUMMARY:“Tramps Like Us” Film Premiere
DESCRIPTION:“Tramps Like Us” Documentary to Premiere at Monmouth University August 24th\n\n\n\n\nGlobal Story of Bruce Springsteen Fans Comes Home to the Jersey Shore. \nWest Long Branch\, NJ — Tramps Like Us\, the new and highly anticipated feature-length documentary exploring the global Springsteen fan community\, will hold its world premiere on Sunday\, August 24\, 2025\, at 7:30 PM at the Pollak Theater at Monmouth University. \nThe Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music at Monmouth University in West Long Branch\, NJ\, will co-sponsor the event — the perfect setting to debut this powerful\, fan-driven tribute to Bruce Springsteen and his extraordinary impact. Also co-sponsoring the premiere is Spring-Nuts\, the vibrant global fan community uniting Springsteen devotees through shared experiences\, charitable endeavors and a deep appreciation for his music. \n“We’re thrilled to welcome Tramps Like Us film to our Pollak Theatre for its premiere!” said Eileen Chapman\, Director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music. “We’re excited to share in the experiences and storytelling of fans near and far.” \nDirected by David Barry\, the film spans more than 250 interviews across 20 countries\, weaving together deeply personal stories into a powerful global conversation. \n“The Tramps Like Us film explores how Bruce Springsteen’s music\, message and presence have shaped lives and created lifelong connections\,” said Barry. “It’s a tribute to the extraordinary relationship between Bruce\, his music and his fans.” \nA true grassroots creation\, Tramps Like Us was made possible by the Springsteen fan community itself. Over 350 fans from around the world contributed to a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $50\,000\, making this one of the most ambitious fan-funded music documentaries to date. \nThe film’s Sunday evening premiere also will serve as the culminating event of the Spring-Nuts’ seventh annual Serenade weekend in Asbury Park\, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the world-renowned Spring-Nuts fan group. This year the Spring-Nuts’ Sunday afternoon Serenade gala will take place at the Stone Pony on Aug. 24\, from noon to 5 PM. \n“Spring-Nuts is so proud and thrilled to be a co-promoter of this epic film Tramps Like Us\,” said Howie and Julie Chaz\, founders of Spring-Nuts. “We could not have asked for a better way to cap off Serenade weekend than to watch this mind-blowing collection of personal and profound Springsteen fans’ stories together with all our fellow Spring-Nuts at Monmouth University. David Barry has done an incredible job capturing Bruce’s legacy and deep connection with his fans. This is a must-see for any Springsteen fan.” \nBoth the Tramps Like Us film premiere and the Spring-Nuts’ Seaside Serenade 7 event\, which will coincide with the Spring-Nuts’ 10-year anniversary celebration at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park\, NJ\, will be charity events with proceeds benefiting: \n\nLight of Day Foundation\, which funds research and support in the fight against Parkinson’s disease and related illnesses through the power of music.\nTeachRock\, which provides free educational resources that bring the sound\, stories and science of music into classrooms. TeachRock was founded by E Street Band’s Stevie Van Zandt along with Bono\, Jackson Browne\, Martin Scorsese and Bruce Springsteen.\n\nThanks to the generosity of sponsors\, 100% of ticket proceeds from the premiere will go to these charitable partners. \nDirector David Barry\, a lifelong Springsteen fan and New Jersey native\, has created 11 feature-length documentaries centered on musical stories. His work has been featured on PBS\, at film festivals\, private theatrical screenings\, and is available on streaming platforms including Amazon. Known for his deeply human approach to storytelling\, Barry brings both professional insight and personal devotion to Tramps Like Us — crafting a film that captures the emotional heart of what it means to be a Springsteen fan. \nTickets for Tramps Like Us film are $30 per person and will go on sale on Wednesday\, June 4\, 2025 at 10 am and can be purchased here. \n\nFor more information: \n\nWatch the film’s trailer\nDavid Barry Films\nSpringsteen Archives\nSpring-Nuts website\nSpring-Nuts Serenade Event\nSpring-Nuts Facebook\nPollak Theater at Monmouth University\nLight of Day Foundation\nTeachRock

Joining them will be Erik Flannigan\, essayist\, Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition. Erik also wrote the liner notes from Tracks 2: The Lost Albums. \n“Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” will be explored with more context and depth than ever before this fall\, with the release of a five-disc box set featuring many never-before-heard and previously-undiscovered recordings. “Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition” will arrive on Oct. 17 from Sony Music\, and include The E Street Band’s fabled “Electric Nebraska” sessions and solo outtakes from the era\, as well as a newly shot performance film of “Nebraska” in its entirety – and a 2025 remaster of the original album. Together\, they represent a wholly unprecedented look into the sonic world of this improbable lo-fi masterpiece turned enduring Springsteen classic.”- Shore Fire Media
