All performances are weather permitting. \nPlease bring your own chair or blanket. \nAbout James Maddock: \n\nJames Maddock’s status as a fixture on the Folk and Americana scene is confirmed with every listen of any song in his prodigious catalog. Relix Magazine put it this way: “James Maddock possesses the kind of lived-in craggy voice that would sound authoritative if he were singing the sports pages. Fortunately\, he doesn’t need to do that because his compositional skills are a match for his delivery.” \nAfter fronting the Columbia Records band Wood\, whose debut Songs From Stamford Hill was featured prominently on TV shows such as “Dawson’s Creek\,” Maddock moved from England to New York City in 2003. His 2009 album Sunrise On Avenue C won a New York Music Award for Best Americana Album\, while the follow-up Wake Up And Dream ranked among the top albums of 2011 in WFUV’s (NYC) Listener Poll. With the release of Another Life (2013) and The Green (2015) Maddock continued to demonstrate why many consider him to be one of the best singer/songwriters working today. He has performed with Bruce Springsteen\, Willie Nile\, Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) and David Immergluck (Counting Crows). According to radio legend Vin Scelsa\, Maddock’s “heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely crafted” music “touches the soul.” As a songwriter\, James recently had three songs co-written with Mike Scott on the new Waterboys album Modern Blues (which appeared in the Top 50 on the UK Albums Chart)\, a co-write with Gary Barlow (“Actress”) on Barlow’s new album (2X Platinum)\, as well as a cut (“Fragile”) on the Dirt On My Tongue album by emerging UK artist Jo Harman. Songs from Another Life have been featured on NBC’s Parenthood and ABC Family’s Switched at Birth. Maddock is a constant live presence in the U.S. and in Europe. He recently completed a 25-show run with Counting Crows in the UK and Europe. \nMaddock’s latest release Forever June on the Masterdisk label is out now where music is consumed.

This year’s event will also feature a special posthumous tribute to The Band. \nDionne Warwick is one of the most influential vocalists in American popular music\, known for her elegant phrasing and emotional precision. \nPatti Smith is a visionary artist and poet whose groundbreaking work fused punk\, poetry\, and rock into a powerful new language of artistic expression. \nDr. Dre is a pioneering producer\, artist\, and entrepreneur who helped shape the sound of hip-hop and launched the careers of some of the genre’s most influential voices. \nThe E Street Band is one of the most enduring and influential ensembles in American rock history\, with a body of work that has given voice to working-class stories for over five decades. \nThe Doors were a defining force of late-1960s rock\, blending blues\, psychedelia\, and literary ambition into music that challenged conventions and expanded the possibilities of the genre. \nThe Band—despite all but one member being Canadians—reshaped American roots music by drawing from folk\, blues\, country\, and rock to create a deeply influential and distinctly American sound. \nBrian Williams\, journalist and veteran television news anchor\, will once again host the American Music Honors. \n“The artists we’re honoring this year didn’t just shape popular music—they helped define it\,” said Robert Santelli\, founding executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music. “Their work reflects the creativity\, risk-taking\, and cultural exchange that sit at the heart of American music\, and it’s a privilege to celebrate their legacies.” \nAmerican Music Honors will take place in Monmouth University’s Pollak Theatre. Stevie Van Zandt’s Disciples of Soul will again serve as the evening’s house band. Award presenters will include Bruce Springsteen (Dionne Warwick and Patti Smith)\, Jimmy Iovine (Dr. Dre)\, Jon Landau (The E Street Band)\, and Stevie Van Zandt (The Doors). \nTickets for the fourth annual American Music Honors will go on sale to the public online on March 18 at noon.

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 URL:https://springsteencenter.org/event/nebraska-82-expanded-edition-screening-and-listening-session/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre\, 400 Cedar Avenue\, W.
