The acclaimed philanthropic group Holiday Express brings its “Ultimate Holiday Show” back to the Basie Center! Featuring 50 professional musicians and singers on stage, Holiday Express blends its unique mixture of traditional, gospel, and rock 'n soul holiday music in a spectacular performance that will touch you with the spirit of the season.
Now in its 27th season, Holiday Express is a traveling holiday party, a from-the-heart troupe of musicians bringing music, friendship, help and hope to those too often left out in the cold at the most special time of the year. The band normally plays far from the limelight, in sometimes desperate circumstances, and all for absolutely no pay. Made up of more than 100 of the best musicians on the Jersey Shore, the musicians along with several dozen support staff, will deliver not only music, but, clothing, food and fun to adults and children in need, including veterans, the mentally and physically challenged, individuals in addiction and recovery programs, the isolated and the homeless.

Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer Darlene Love returns to the Basie Center for her annual 'Souled' Out Christmas show, sure to bring the holiday spirit to Red Bank! Performing both Christmas classics, including "All Alone on Christmas" & Love’s own greatest hits. Her Billboard hits include: "He’s A Rebel," "The Boy I’m Gonna Marry," "Wait ‘Til My Bobby Gets Home," "He’s Sure the Boy I Love" and the #1 holiday classic "Christmas Baby Please Come Home," a song that she performed annually with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Symphony Orchestra on The Late Show With David Letterman for 29 years.
Darlene Love received her industry’s highest award when Bette Midler, a great fan of her work, inducted her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. During the celebration, the two ladies enjoyed performing “He’s A Rebel” together. As part of the festivities, Darlene also sang “He’s A Fine, Fine Boy" backed by another distinguished fan, Bruce Springsteen. Darlene continues to captivate audience’s worldwide with her warm, gracious stage presence and sensational performances.
Rolling Stone Magazine has proclaimed Darlene Love to be "one of the greatest singers of all time” and that certainly rings true, but perhaps Paul Shaffer says it even more concisely: “Darlene Love is Rock N’ Roll!”

In what’s quickly becoming an annual Jersey Shore holiday tradition, the eighth installment of Brian Kirk's Santa For… show is stuffing your stocking with what Kirk calls "a night of awesome music and offensive jokes." Designed to raise funds and awareness to help combat hunger, this three-hour jingle-balling of a show boasts the comedic antics of Brian Kirk and the musical talent of the Jirks together with more special musical acts.
"What I wanted to do, if I may be so bold, was to re-do the idea of a fundraiser," Kirk says. "People have been getting badgered into giving money by all sorts of organizations, and through all kind of means, and I wanted to do something that was a true party, a real variety show. I wanted to create a risqué sort of Ed Sullivan show, something where we’d do jokes and skits, play a song, have some dancers come on, just keep it fun. You don’t wanna over-write a show like that."
Of the first year's event, Santa for Sea Bright, Facebook exploded with recaps of the night that read, "it’s like Donovan’s Reef on a Sunday at the Basie”. Even more reiterated, "it was epic, amazing, fun, incredible..." However you want to describe it, it's just a merry, nut-cracking of a good time! Spread some holiday cheer, "Kirky Style" at the Basie!

A joyous retelling of the traditional Nativity story in music, dance and verse, Black Nativity is a Gospel “song play” based on the Gospel of St. Luke, using the poetry of Langston Hughes and performed by an all-Black cast of singers, actors, dancers and musicians. One of the first plays authored by an African-American to be performed on Broadway (it debuted in 1961), Black Nativity delivers a powerful message of joy, hope, victory and liberation. An important civic tradition in many cities across the country, Black Nativity is directed by veteran actor and director Darrell Lawrence Willis, Sr., Producing Artistic Director of the Dunbar Repertory Theatre Company, whose mission is to perpetuate an appreciation of cultural diversity and celebrate African-American culture.

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes return to Red Bank for the best New Year's Eve party in town!
Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes first achieved prominence in the mid-1970s, emerging from the same New Jersey Shore music scene as his now legendary contemporary and friend Bruce Springsteen. Southside’s first three albums, I Don’t Want To Go Home, This Time It’s for Real, and Hearts of Stone, were produced by band co-founder Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band, The Sopranos), and largely featured songs written by Van Zandt and/or Springsteen. The Van Zandt-written “I Don’t Want To Go Home” became Southside’s signature song, an evocative mixture of horn-based melodic riffs and sentimental lyrics.
In 1982 Rolling Stone Magazine voted Hearts of Stone among the top 100 albums of the 1970s and 1980s. With their classic blend of hard-core R&B and street-level rock, molten grooves, soulful guitar licks and blistering horn section, Johnny and his Jukes continue to put their unique stamp on the Jersey Shore sound, while recalling the glory years of Otis Redding and similar Stax Records titans.
